ARC30FHC02

The **Woodhead ArcArrest Receptacle (SKU: ARC30FHC02)** is a premium-grade electrical receptacle engineered for industrial environments where safety, reliability, and precision power management are critical. Designed as a **switch-rated 30A, 208V AC, 2-pole plus ground** solution, this receptacle meets the demands of heavy-duty machinery, manufacturing equipment, and automated systems that require controlled power interruption without compromising performance. Woodhead, a leader in industrial electrical connectivity, delivers a product that combines robust construction with advanced safety features to protect personnel and equipment in harsh operating conditions. At the core of the ArcArrest Receptacle’s functionality is its **switch-rated design**, which enables safe power disconnection under load—a vital feature for applications where unexpected equipment shutdowns or maintenance access are necessary. Unlike standard receptacles, this model is engineered to interrupt current flow efficiently, reducing the risk of arcing and electrical hazards. The **insulator keying position 16** ensures compatibility with specific industrial plugs, preventing misconnections that could lead to equipment damage or safety incidents. This keying system is particularly valuable in facilities with multiple types of machinery, where standardized connectors streamline operations and minimize downtime. The inclusion of a **durable handle** and **three grommets** enhances usability and installation flexibility. The handle provides a secure grip for manual operation, while the grommets protect cable entries from abrasion and strain, extending the lifespan of connected wiring. These features are especially beneficial in dynamic industrial settings where receptacles are frequently accessed or repositioned. The **208V AC rating** makes this receptacle ideal for North American industrial applications, including CNC machines, conveyor systems, and automated assembly lines, where 208V three-phase power is standard. Woodhead’s reputation for manufacturing high-quality electrical components is built on decades of innovation and adherence to stringent industry standards. The ArcArrest Receptacle is no exception, featuring a **rugged construction** that withstands vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes—common challenges in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and outdoor industrial sites. Its compliance with relevant electrical codes ensures peace of mind for engineers and facility managers tasked with maintaining safe and efficient operations. **Typical Applications:** - **Manufacturing & Automation:** Power distribution for robotic arms, CNC machines, and automated assembly lines. - **Material Handling:** Reliable connectivity for conveyor belts, forklifts, and material transport systems. - **HVAC & Industrial Ventilation:** Safe power supply for large-scale heating, cooling, and air handling units. - **Welding & Metal Fabrication:** Durable receptacles for high-current equipment in metalworking shops. - **Data Centers & Critical Infrastructure:** Controlled power management for backup systems and emergency equipment. **Installation & Selection Considerations:** When selecting a receptacle for industrial use, professionals prioritize **current rating, voltage compatibility, and safety certifications**. The ArcArrest Receptacle’s **30A rating** makes it suitable for high-power equipment, while its **switch-rated design** ensures compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for safe disconnection. The **insulator keying** feature reduces the risk of accidental misplugging, a critical consideration in facilities with diverse equipment types. Woodhead’s products are trusted by engineers and electricians for their **consistent performance, ease of installation, and long-term reliability**, making them a preferred choice in demanding industrial environments. For facilities seeking a **high-performance, safety-focused receptacle** that aligns with modern industrial standards, the Woodhead ArcArrest Receptacle (SKU: ARC30FHC02) delivers unmatched value. Its combination of **switch-rated functionality, durable construction, and Woodhead’s legacy of quality** ensures optimal performance in applications where downtime and safety risks cannot be tolerated.
