Meltric Switch-Rated Decontactor Series is Perfect for Shore-Power
Using Meltric devices for shore power connections helps to protect users from electrical hazards that are common with other types of connectors.
- Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles provide the safety of a disconnect switch wherever users must make or break connections.
- Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles eliminate potential exposure to live parts and arcing that exists with other plugs and receptacles.
- Meltric's Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles provide protection against overloads and short circuit currents of up to 100kA with RK1 fusing.
- Meltric's Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles provide a consistently reliable connection that does not degrade with use.
- Switch-Ratings ensure the safe disconnection of the load; interlocks and auxiliary disconnects are not required since Meltric's Switch-Rated devices are an NEC-approved 'line of sight' disconnect switch.
- A safety shutter on the receptacle prevents worker exposure to live parts and arc flash.
- Meltric's Switch-Rated Devices provide superior corrosion resistance which is required near the sea: Solid silver-nickel contact surfaces provide superior conductivity, durability and corrosion resistance, and casings of fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic polyester material offer great resistance to impact, corrosion and harsh environmental conditions.
