Pharmaceutical | BioMedical | Life Sciences Benefits
Safe
UL/CSA-listed for safe disconnect under load while complying with NFPA70E, make MELTRIC Switch-Rated devices the smart choice for your electrical connection needs. Dead-front safety shutters, a built-in arc chamber, and spring-loaded silver-nickel contacts ensure safe connect and disconnect conditions. Our unique design protects your workers from arc flash while making it easy to perform everyday functions without the need for PPE while connecting or disconnecting our Switch-Rated devices!
Versatile
Abundant amperage choices, limitless pin configurations, and numerous accessory options give MELTRIC devices the edge in almost any environment. You'll find MELTRIC devices used for all types of pharmaceutical applications. Wherever you need watertight, reliable, and SAFE electrical and network connections, MELTRIC is there.
Cost-Effective
Connect and disconnect power and network connections when and where you need to. MELTRIC Switch-Rated devices provide mobility and portability without the hassle of an accidental disconnect. Once installed, connect or disconnect without the need for PPE. Use with process and machine operations to minimize downtime, improve product consistency, and keep employees safe.
Watertight Connections
MELTRIC Switch-Rated DSN Series devices are designed to automatically ensure up to Type 4X/IP69/IP69K rated watertightness as soon as the plug and receptacle are mated, or when the receptacle lid is closed. There is no need to thread on or engage sealing rings as on many pin and sleeve devices.*
Additionally, MELTRIC builds in:
• Durable silver-nickel contacts that withstand corrosion and provide reliable conductivity in harsh environments
• Rugged, chemical-resistant casings that can withstand heat and washdown conditions
*DS Series devices must be ordered as Type 4X for watertight protection.
Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
Safely Make/Break Motor Connections, Even During Overloads
MELTRIC Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles are designed and rated to make and break motor loads in complete safety while providing users with significant protection in the event of overloads or short circuits. Operators do not require special protective equipment or training to make and break connections with MELTRIC Switch-Rated devices.
Overload testing includes 50 opening and closing operations performed at 600% of full load motor ampacity with a power factor of 0.5 or less. All hp-rated Switch-Rated devices are rated to close into and withstand short-circuit currents up to 100kA in circuits protected with RK1 fusing.
Note: Although MELTRIC Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles are rated to safely make and break motor loads, they are not rated or intended for continuous use as a motor starter.
Hazardous Location
CSA-Rated Class 1, Div 2 MELTRIC hazardous location products make and break connections with ease, making these workhorses some of the safest electrical equipment available. Designed to be dust, moisture, and gas resistant, MELTRIC devices isolate and eliminate arc flash immediately upon disconnect.
