Arktite WSRD Interlocked Receptacles with Enclosed Disconnect Switches

Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series interlocked receptacles prevent engagement and disengagement of the plug under load, providing safe portable power connections and extended product life.

Arktite WSRD interlocked receptacles with enclosed safety disconnect switches are used as a service outlet for portable or fixed electrical equipment, such as generators, compressors, welders, portable tools, conveyors, lighting systems and similar equipment.  Designed for use in non-hazardous areas where dust, moisture and corrosion may be a problem.  A fusible switch, when used, provides short circuit protection.

Available in 30-100A in both fused and non-fused versions, the heavy duty Arktite receptacle is compatible with existing Crouse-Hinds series Arktite plugs of the same rating and configuration.
