Overview

The Meltric DR150 Receptacle, SKU 39-94243-K04-180-375, is a heavy-duty industrial power connection designed for reliable performance in challenging environments. This metal receptacle features a robust Type 3R enclosure, providing protection against dust and rain, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown applications. It is rated for 150 Amps and 480 Volts AC at a 60 Hz frequency, ensuring substantial power delivery for demanding industrial machinery and equipment. The configuration is 3 Poles plus Ground (3P+G), accommodating three-phase power with a dedicated ground connection for safety. This Size 5 receptacle is distinguished by its vibrant blue color, aiding in quick identification and organization within electrical systems. A key operational feature is the 180-degree opening lid, which, combined with the mushroom pawl mechanism, allows for swift and secure connection and disconnection of mating plugs. This design minimizes downtime during equipment maintenance or relocation, directly contributing to increased operational efficiency. The Meltric DR150 series is engineered to meet stringent safety and performance standards, making it a dependable choice for critical power distribution in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and other industrial settings. Its durable metal construction ensures longevity even under continuous use and exposure to industrial conditions. The 480 VAC rating is standard for many heavy industrial applications, and the 150A capacity supports high-power loads. The Type 3R NEMA rating signifies its suitability for outdoor use where it will be protected against falling rain and sleet. The 3P+G configuration is common for three-phase power systems requiring a ground conductor for safety and equipment protection. The 180-degree opening lid with a mushroom pawl is a user-friendly interface designed for quick and safe engagement and disengagement of power. This receptacle is manufactured in the USA.
