Welder Plugs & Receptacles

Change Out Welding Equipment 50% Faster with Reduced Arc Flash Hazard

Workers risk exposure to arc flash when disconnecting standard welding plugs and receptacles. To prevent accidents, install UL/CSA Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles from MELTRIC. They are a combination plug, receptacle, and disconnect switch in one device. MELTRIC receptacles/connectors feature a built-in switching function that ensures the contacts are safely de-energized before the welding machine plug can be withdrawn. Arc flash safety is ensured. Lockout-Tagout provisions allow plugs to be easily locked out and tagged. Optional Padlock Pawl allows LOTO of the receptacle.

Separation of the plug and receptacle provides verification of deenergization.

Simple.

No voltage testing required. Visible contact separation proves the power is off.

cost savings

Reduced Downtime

Plug-and-play simplicity allows any qualified worker to quickly connect and disconnect welding equipment. Specially trained maintenance technicians are not required for load making or breaking. Reduce downtime by up to 50% when changing out welding equipment. More...
