Product Description

Product Description

Powerlock is a range of single pole electrical connectors used for high current, low voltage(up to 1000V AC)applications, similar to but considered safer than camlock connectors.

Powerlock connectors are available in 400A,500A,630A,800A Versions. All versions can be used for single phase and much more commonly,three phase applications. Three phase connections require five separate cables (or four if neutral is not required).

Features and Benefits:

-Compatible with major brands of powerlock connectors.
-Color coded and mechanically keyed to prevent mating errors.
-Built-in release key delivers great convenience while uncoupling.
-Lug terminal offers connection flexibility for various cable size at site.
-Dust caps as standart kits keep lP rating when unmated.
-M50 cable gland with multicut rubble bushing to suit various cable diameter.

Applications

Single pole power connectors are emploved for making electrical power connections where multi-pole connectors and cables would be impractical to handle due to size,weight and cable bend radius. They are typically used for connecting to large generators and fixed power sources in venues where high-powered temporary eauipment may be regularly used. Powerlock inputs are available on many large dimmers and on large power distribution units. Common application fields are entertainment,sport events,airports,mining industry, railways industry, and emergency missions.

A range of Powerlock connectors which attach directly to busbars is available. These can be used for drawing off power for temporary installations, or for feeding power into busbars in situations such as temporary generator hook-ups during power outages.

Safety

The Powerlock connector has safety features that help to protect the user against potentially fatal electric shock and other dangers as a result of connection errors. Such features include finger proof electrical contacts, colour-coded insulators,mechanical keys and locking devices.

Powerlock-style connectors can be used with sequential mating units. These units assist with the safe and controlled connection of the single core power cables, by controlling the sequence of connection to ensure earth and neutral connectionsare made before phase connections can be made,thereby improving safety by eliminating connectionerrors and ensuring safety circuits are always connected.

Powerlock features a locking mechanism which requires the use of a special tool to disconnect the connector.

Nevertheless, the potential exists for connection errors, such as failing to properly connect earth or neutral,attempting connection/disconnection underload,incomplete connection of parallel circuits,or inappropriate combinations of circuit breakers and downstream equipment. For this reason all single-pole connectors including Powerlock are intended tobe operated(connected and disconnected)only by trained professionals.

Colours

Powerlock connectors are available in colours to match wiring colour standards used in Europe,the Australia and North America. The mechanical keying is however independent of the colours, for example a blue connector intended for a neutral connection in Europe will not connect with a blue connector intended for live (phase) connection in North America.

Gender

Powerlock connectors are designated as source or drain. The source connectors are intended to have their permanent connection in the direction of the source of electrical energy, and the drain connectors are intended to have their permanent connection in the direction of equipment receiving power. The role of male and female connectors is opposite to traditional usage in other designs of power connector - the Powerlock source connector has a male pin and the drain connector has a female receptacle. This does not however compromise safety because the gap between the plastic insulating cap on the male pin of the source connector and the surrounding plastic housing is too small to insert a human finger. The female drain connector also has a spring-loaded plastic cap to prevent casual contact with the electrical contact; however with sufficient pressure this can be displaced with a finger.
