Steady Unidirectional Power with Maximized Safety and Reliability
MELTRIC Direct Current devices enhance energy efficiency, reliability, and user safety. These plugs and receptacles are designed to keep users safe using safety shutters that safeguard against unintended access to live parts while providing impeccable power quality to your application.
All DSDC receptacles have safety shutters that automatically close before the plug can be removed and block unintended access to live contacts.
Superior contact technology provides consistent high-quality connections and eliminates high resistance and resulting over-heated connections that lead to failure in other devices.
While not rated or intended for current interruption, DSDC devices have a quick break mechanism and dead front construction that minimizes and isolates arcing safely away from the user if the plug is disconnected under load in an emergency or accidently.
Standard locking provisions simplify lockout-tagout and allow the plug and receptacle to be locked in the connected position to prevent nuisance or other unintended disconnection.
Rated watertightness is achieved automatically when the plug and receptacle are connected. This prevents failures and flashover due to ingress common on competitive devices when their additionally required watertightness rings are not engaged.
Larger DSDC6 and DSDC9 devices are provided with integral drawbar mechanisms that easily pull the plug into the receptacle and securely latch it in place. Optional finger draw plates are available for all smaller devices to provide a comfortable grip and extra leverage to make in-line and cord drop connections smooth and easy.
All direct current devices have a push button release feature that makes disconnection almost effortless. Pushing the button automatically dis-engages the contacts and ejects the plug to the rest position. The plug can then be removed from the receptacle simply by rotating and withdrawing it.
The automatic watertightness feature also simplifies operation by eliminating the need to thread on/off or otherwise engage/disengage the auxiliary watertightness rings that are required on many competitive devices.
MELTRIC offers a wide range of mounting angles, handles and wall boxes allowing its DC devices to be used in panel mounted, in-line, reverse service, cord drop, flexible conduit and other applications in addition to traditional wall mounted receptacle configurations. This makes it easy to locate a plug and play connection anywhere it is convenient.
We also offer standard and custom-made adapter plates to simplify retrofits by allowing Meltric receptacles to be mounted on existing wall boxes.
