Pin and sleeve devices

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

Arktite EBBR explosionproof interlock receptacles with enclosed circuit breakers are used as a service outlet for portable equipment in areas which are hazardous due to flammable vapors, gases or combustible dust. Mechanically interlocked with circuit breakers to provide disconnect means, short circuit protection and thermal time delay overload protection.

The EBBR's rugged, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction and NEMA 3R rating make it ideal for hazardous areas where frequent wash downs are necessary or where heavy rain or water spray is prevalent.
