Powersafe Powerlock Rotalock 800Amp Panel Mount Source Connector Grey L3 T8

Powersafe Powerlock Rotalock 800Amp Panel Mount Source Connector Grey L3 T8

Source Powerlock Rotalock Connectors - Powersafe Rotalock Connectors are only required in the Source format, either Panel or Inline.

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.

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.

Powersafe Panel Mounts are electrical industrial sockets for generators, batteries, busbars, switchgear and power distribution boxes. The powerlock panel mounts are available for all three phases plus neutral and earth. Powersafe Sockets have the same mechanical locking system as their inline counterparts; secure coupling of plug and socket is achieved through an innovative mechanical locking system that disengages with a simple release key. The electrical industrial sockets are compatible with other manufacturer’s powerlock panel mount connectors.

Connections are secured with an M12 threaded post termination to a standard cable lug. The industrial sockets are rated either 500 amp (T5) or 800 amp (T8). The standard connector is mounted to a panel through 4 fixing holes on the flange, panel cut-out drawing details are available on the Technical Drawings tab. As an alternative, flange holes can be fitted with M6 threaded inserts for either front or rear fixing.
