Danger- Live Welder Connections!
Workers risk exposure to arc flash when disconnecting standard welder plugs and receptacles. To prevent accidents install UL/CSA switch rated welder plugs and receptacles from Meltric. They are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in one device. Meltric’s receptacles/connectors feature a built-in switching function that ensures the contacts are safely deenergized before the welding machine plug can be withdrawn. Arc flash safety is ensured.
| DECONTACTOR™ Series Welding Plugs & Receptacles |
||
 |
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. |
||
|
Dead front construction prevents exposure to live parts and arc flash hazards. |  |
The need for
arc flash protection boundaries and cumbersome PPE is eliminated.
Decontactors maintain a NFPA 70E 'hazard risk category' equal |
||
|
Separation of the plug & receptacle provides verification of deenergization. |
 |
| Voltage testing is not required. Visible contact separation proves the power is off. | ||
|
||
|
Plug & play simplicity allows any qualified employee to quickly connect and disconnect welding equipment. | |
Specially trained electrical workers are not required for load making/breaking. Downtime related to welding equipment change-outs can be reduced by up to 50%. |
||
| |
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 | |
| In addition to their electrical plug & receptacle listings, Meltric Decontactor Series plugs & receptacles are UL and CSA switch rated and are approved NEC 'line of sight' disconnect switches for both resistive and inductive loads. | ||
| UL/CSA listed for 'Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching' and 'Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching' per UL Subject 2682 'Switch Rated Plugs & Receptacles.' | ||
