NFPA 70E Workplace Electrical Safety Standards apply to MCC’s and switchgear and also to plugs & receptacles used to connect welders, pumps, and other portable equipment. Because many of the plugs and receptacles currently in service have accessible live parts and can be hazardous if connected or disconnected under load, users must either update their equipment or follow cumbersome safety procedures in order to comply with NFPA 70E.

√ Proof of Deenergization

The separated plug and receptacle provides visual verification of equipment disconnection as required in NFPA 70E.

Sections 430.102 – 430.109 of the National Electric Code require approved disconnecting means to be located in a readily accessible location within sight of the motor and driven equipment. With their UL & CSA ratings for “Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching” and “Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching”, Decontactor devices are an approved ‘line of sight’ disconnect switch for meeting this requirement.

Replacement motors and equipment that are pre-wired with Decontactor devices can be installed with plug & play simplicity, reducing change-out downtime by 50% and allowing critical processes to get back online faster.

  • The need for hard-wiring during downtime is eliminated and mechanics can safely make & break the electrical connections.
  • There is no need to bring electricians to the site; their work to pre-wire replacements can be performed during non-downtime periods.
  • Advance verification of phasing on pre-wired replacement motors avoids problems and delays due to improper rotation.
  • Integral auxiliary contacts can eliminate the need to make & break secondary connections on control circuits.
