Let’s talk industrial duty plugs offered by MELTRIC Corporation

MELTRIC Corporation, a partner of EMR Associates, offers a complete line of industrial duty plugs and receptacles (including the world’s only UL and CSA switch rated plugs and receptacles) which are manufactured in a state of the art facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. These products provide maximum safety, increased efficiency and lower costs for our customers.

MAXIMUM SAFETY

Eliminate Sources of Arc Flash Exposure Load making and breaking which occurs in enclosed arc chambers, and the plug cannot be removed until after the connection has been safely broken. Once it is removed, the receptacle’s dead front prevents any unintended access to live parts. Simplify Code Compliance Decontactors are an approved NEC ‘line of sight’ disconnect, and by eliminating the sources of arc flash exposure, they ensure the electrically safe work condition required to comply with NFPA 70E/CSA Z462, without the need for cumbersome PPE.

INCREASED EFFICIENCY

Reduce Equipment Change-Out Time When Decontactors are installed. Qualified technicians can safely replace motors and other equipment with plug and play simplicity. Simplify Process Monitoring Decontactors are available with up to 5 auxiliary contacts. These contacts make last and break first, allowing engineers to combine control and power circuits in one connection.

LOWER COSTS

Eliminate Interlocks and Auxiliary Disconnects Decontactors are designed and rated for disconnect switching. They eliminate the need for the expensive switches and interlocks which are required with other connection devices. Provide Maximum Durability Spring loaded, solid silver-nickel contacts provide superior conductivity, durability and corrosion resistance. Heavy duty casings offer great resistance to harsh environments.

PLUGS

DSN – The popular DSN Series plugs and receptacles are ideal for connecting motors, welders and other equipment in most environments including washdown.

DS – The versatile DS Series plugs and receptacles offer the highest amperage range. Most models are available in metal or Poly material.

DB – The rugged DB Series plugs and receptacles can easily handle motor loads up to 60 hp. Their metal casings and IP67 rating provide protection in harsh environments.

About Switch-Rated Plugs

Plugs and receptacles are safe to make and break under load up to 200A. The Decontactor design guarantees that users are protected from exposure to live parts and potential arc flash at all times while making and breaking connections.

MELTRIC’s DECONTACTOR™ Series switch-rated plugs and receptacles combine the safety and functionality of a disconnect switch with the convenience of a plug and receptacle. Their exclusive design allows users to safely make and break connections under full load and provide significant protection in overload and short circuit conditions.

Their dead-front construction and enclosed arc chambers ensure that the load is safely disconnected, and that all live parts are isolated and inaccessible, before the plug can be removed. The Decontactor design guarantees that users are protected from exposure to live parts and potential arc flash at all times while making and breaking connections. Using Decontactors to connect equipment helps to protect users from electrical hazards that are common with other types of connections.
