| The
DECONTACTOR™ Advantages |
| |
 |
Switch
ratings ensure safe load breaking/making – even in overload situations. |
|
| |
Decontactors
are switch rated up to 200A & 60 hp.
They provide short circuit make
& withstand protection up to 100kA. |
| |
 |
Plug & play
simplicity allows any qualified employee to quickly connect
and disconnect electrical equipment. |
|
| |
Specially trained
electrical workers are not required for load making/breaking. Downtime
related to equipment change-outs can be reduced by up to 50%.
|
| |
|
|
|
Separation
of the plug & receptacle provides verification of deenergization. |
|
| |
Voltage
testing is not required. Visible contact separation proves the power
is off. |
|
 |
Dead
front construction prevents exposure to live parts and arc flash
hazards. |
|
The need for
flash protection boundaries and cumbersome PPE is eliminated. Decontactors
maintain a NFPA 70E 'hazard risk category' equal
to zero.
|
| |
|
|
Lockout
provisions facilitate easy compliance with lockout/tagout requirements. |
 |
| |
Only
your lock and tag are needed, no additional mechanisms are required.
(Provisions are standard
on the plug and optional on the receptacle.) |
|
 |
NEC, UL & CSA Compliance |

| |

addition to their plug & receptacle listings, Meltric Decontactor Series
