The DXA1 features CSA and ATEX hazardous listings, robust metal casings, and spring-loaded butt-style contacts for superior performance. It also has dual pawls with a locking feature for secure connections.

The DXA1 has a maximum amperage of 20 A and a maximum voltage of 600 VAC at 60 Hz.

The DXA1 has an environmental rating of IP66/IP67. This rating is achieved as soon as the plug is latched to the receptacle, with no additional ring to tighten.

The DXA1 is compatible with THHN wire sizes ranging from a minimum of 16 AWG to a maximum of 10 AWG.

Yes, the DXA1 product line has CSA and ATEX hazardous location listings, including Ex de IIC T*Gb and Ex tb IIIC T*Db.

The DXA1 uses silver-nickel contact material. This provides superior conductivity, durability, and corrosion resistance.

The DXA1 has a short circuit rating of 25 kA Close & Withstand. This was tested with an RK1 30 A fuse.

Cord grips are not included with DXA1 connectors. Their sizes are determined by the cable diameter and must be selected from the Cord Grip section.

The DXA1 has horsepower ratings of 0.75 hp and 2 hp for 1-phase. For 3-phase applications, ratings are 3 hp and 10 hp.

The DXA1 complies with applicable standards, including CSA C22.2 No. 182.1.

Meltric products are rigorously certified and comply with multiple critical industrial standards, including UL 2682, UL 508, UL 98, UL 1682, and CSA 22.2 No. 182.1. Their devices are UL and CSA listed with comprehensive ratings covering electrical endurance, short circuit withstand capabilities, motor circuit disconnect switching, and environmental protection standards like Type 4X/IP69/IP69K. Specific certifications include switch-rated plug and receptacle listings that exceed standard industry requirements.

Meltric products feature advanced safety and reliability technologies, including spring-assisted terminals, push-button circuit disconnection, enclosed arc chambers, and integrated lockout-tagout capabilities. Key innovations include silver-nickel butt-style contacts, a quick-break mechanism that disconnects circuits in 15 milliseconds, and a self-cleaning contact system. Most devices offer modular construction, optional auxiliary contacts, and automatic watertightness, with robust casings made of fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic polyamide that resist impact and harsh environments.

Meltric products feature robust environmental ratings, including Type 4X/IP69/IP69K certification, which also meets IP66/IP67 requirements. Their devices are rated to operate in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F, with specific IK ratings for impact resistance ranging from 08 to 10 Joules depending on the product material and model. Metal-cased products typically have higher impact resistance (IK10 with 20 Joules) compared to polymer-based products (IK09 with 10 Joules).

Meltric products are used across multiple heavy industrial and hazardous environments, including chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, oil and gas operations, grain silos, wood processing plants, plastics manufacturing, and wastewater treatment facilities. Their specialized plugs and receptacles are engineered for high-amperage equipment, wet/washdown environments, and locations with explosive gas or dust risks, with specific product lines like DSN and DS Series designed for different industrial applications ranging from 75-100 horsepower equipment.

Meltric offers comprehensive technical support through multiple channels. Their Customer Service group provides immediate phone support at 800-433-7642, with trained representatives located at their manufacturing facility.

Meltric offers a comprehensive range of industrial electrical plugs and receptacles across several key product lines: Switch-Rated Plugs & Receptacles (DSN and DS series from 20-200A), Multipin Connectors (6-37 pin, 2-50A), Standard Duty Plugs & Receptacles (DR, PN, DSDC series), High Ampacity Plugs & Receptacles (PF/PFQ, DR400, CS1000, SP series from 300-600A), and specialized options like RETTBOX electromagnetic self-ejection devices and PNHT high-temperature connectors.

Meltric offers a comprehensive range of accessories for their industrial plugs and receptacles, including handles, angle adapters, junction boxes, poly conduit entry boxes, finger drawplates, and protective/padlockable inlet/plug caps. These modular accessories allow customers to customize their electrical connection solutions, with options like 30° and 70° angles, metal and poly configurations, and additional features such as auxiliary contacts and locking mechanisms.

Meltric products are typically installed by inserting the plug into the receptacle with a simple 30-degree clockwise rotation, which latches the connection and energizes the circuit. The installation process is designed for safety, featuring automatic watertight sealing, dead-front safety shutters, and spring-loaded butt-style contacts that ensure optimal electrical performance. For motor change-outs, qualified workers follow a specific procedure including verifying de-energization, applying lockout/tagout, and carefully inserting the plug into the receptacle.

Meltric offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty on electrical contacts for all its plug and receptacle products. This warranty reflects the company's confidence in the durability and high-quality design of their electrical components, which are engineered to provide superior performance and reliability in industrial applications.
