Overview

The Meltric DS200 INLET METAL (SKU: 37-28043-172-4X-A155) is a heavy-duty industrial electrical inlet designed for reliable power connectivity in harsh environments. Rated for 200 Amperes at 480 Volts AC and 60 Hertz, this Size 6 inlet features a robust metal construction with a NEMA Type 4X rating, providing superior protection against water ingress, corrosion, and dust. The 3-pole plus ground (3P+G) configuration ensures safe and efficient power distribution, making it ideal for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and industrial facilities requiring dependable electrical connections. This inlet’s watertight design eliminates the need for a lockout hole, simplifying installation and enhancing safety protocols. Its metal housing delivers long-term durability, while the compact Size 6 form factor maximizes installation flexibility. The DS200 is engineered for applications such as connecting industrial machinery, backup generators, power distribution panels, and other high-current electrical systems where protected and reliable power distribution is critical. Compliance with NEMA Type 4X standards ensures resistance to hose-directed water and corrosion, making it suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and marine environments. Key specifications include a 200A current rating at 480VAC/60Hz, 3P+G pole configuration, and a Type 4X watertight rating. The metal construction provides superior durability compared to poly-based alternatives, reducing the risk of damage in high-impact or high-vibration settings. Installation is straightforward, with secure mounting options and a design that prioritizes both performance and user safety. For industrial buyers seeking a high-current, corrosion-resistant inlet that meets stringent environmental protection standards, the Meltric DS200 is a proven solution.

Frequently Asked Questions about Meltric

What certifications and standards do Meltric products comply with?

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.

What are the key features of Meltric products?

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.

What environmental ratings do Meltric products have?

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).

What industries and applications are Meltric products used for?

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.

What technical support does Meltric offer?
