Powersafe Powerlock Rotalock 500Amp Line Source Connector 120 mm2 M40 Grey L3

 Powersafe Powerlock Rotalock 500Amp Line Source Grey L3 Connector M40 120 mm2 (This 120mm M40 Connector accepts most 150mm HO7RN-F cable)

Since 1994 these types of single pole connectors have been available with a Secondary locking pin to ensure that connectors cannot be accidentally uncoupled under load. The traditional method requires a separate unlocking key to push the secondary locking pin out of its recess, allowing the connectors to be uncoupled. The need for a separate key to unlock is warranted in certain applications but has been found to be a problem in other areas, as the key can be lost and uncoupling is not as rapid as required.

The new Rotalock system provides an excellent solution to this problem. Uncoupling is achieved by simply rotating a coupling ring. When rotated the coupling ring moves in a lateral plane to disengage the locking pin. In this way no separate tools are required for uncoupling.

However, the Rotalock can (where the application requires) be locked by turning two screws on the side of the ring, this will lock the ring open. In this way a tool (screwdriver) will be required to slacken the screws to allow coupling ring to be released before uncoupling the connectors.

So, the system can be used in two distinct ways covering all user requirements.

The coupling ring can also be removed for use in Sequential mating units and can be easily replaced in the unlikely event of breakage.

A)    Rapid single-handed unlocking. With no special keys required.

B)    Ergonomic hand grip

C)   High Impact design

D)   Fully matable with all versions

E)    Available in Panel and In-Line versions, Source.

F)    Can be retrofitted to existing equipment

Powersafe are available in Source & Drain format. Powerlock source connector has a male pin and the drain connector has a female receptacle.

Source Powerlock Connectors

Powersafe is rated at 500A – higher than the usual 440A single pole device. 500A connectors are available with Set Screw Termination for power cables up to 150mm CSA. Powersafe also offers 800A connectors – higher than the standard 660A powerlock connectors. 800A industrial plugs are available with Crimp Termination for larger cable sections up to 300mm CSA

 

Phase 3’s Powerlock connectors are of the highest rated, safest and finest quality Powerlock type plug available. Powersafe are used by the power distribution, events, military and cable assembly industries worldwide. Powersafe Earth inline connectors easily terminate to copper cable using either industry standard crimp tools or set-screw contacts. Secure coupling of the three phase plugs and sockets is achieved through an innovative mechanical locking system that disengages with a simple release key.

Ampage & Cable Size Explained

Powersafe Connectors are available in either source or drain format as 800A or 500A. Device ampage is determined by cable size (termination). 300mm²-240mm² power cable requires 800A plugs, 185mm² - 25mm² power cable is supplied with 500A plugs.

Please note, if you require Powersafe for power cable less than Set Screw 120mm², i.e. 95mm², 70mm², 50mm², 35mm², 25mm², you must purchase a reducer kit separately , call for info
