Meltric DS30 Industrial Plugs & Receptacles

DS 30 DeContactors by Meltric and Sords Electric

Meltric's DS30 Industrial Plugs and receptacles offer safety, convenience and money savings opportunity for the industrial and commercial workplace.  By meeting NEC codes and NFPA 70E requirements, there is no equal in the quick connect industrial plug market. The dead front construction of the female receptacle, keeping the hot contacts secured from being accidentally touched is unique in the industry.

SAFETY - Dead Front Construction and a RATED Disconnect Switch 
CONVENIENCE - Quick Change outs over hard wiring
MONEY - No Special Suits - Quick Change Outs - SAFE!

Qualified maintenance workers can quickly connect or disconnect welding machines, motors, and other equipment in complete safety. Once the plug is removed it provides visual verficiation of deenergization. The safety shutter on the receptacle prevents exposure to live parts and maintains an NFPA 70E defined hazard risk category = 0. The need for cumbersome PPE to meet NFPA 70E standards can be avoided.

Meltric Decontactors (Switch Rated Plugs and Receptacles) can be used in the follwoing applications:

HVAC :
Workers are exposed to live parts and risk arc flash injury when opening and disconnecting standard blade type disconnect switches. Instead, to prevent accidents and simplify code compliance install UL/CSA switch rated plugs and receptacles from Meltric. They are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in one device. Meltric's receptacles/connectors feature a built-in switching function that ensures the contacts are safely deenergized before the plug can be withdrawn. Once withdrawn, the plug provides visual verification of deenergization. Arc flash safety is ensured and HVAC service work becomes safer and easier.

PUMPS :
Meltric Decontactor plugs and receptacles are ideal for pump connections up to 60 hp or 200 amps. Using Decontactors to connect power to pumps instead of hard-wiring can reduce downtime related to pump servicing by 50% or more. A qualified technician can safely disconnect power to the pump simply by removing the Decontactor plug which can then be easily locked out to ensure safety. The technician can then service the pump in complete safety. When service work is complete the technician can reconnect power simply by plugging the Decontactor plug back into the receptacle.

TRAILER :
Meltric's DECONTACTOR™ Series “trailer plugs” and receptacles are a combination plug, receptacle and UL/CSA approved disconnect switch in the same device. Decontactors are commonly used to connect power to trailers from a portable generator or from a shore power source. Safety features prevent exposure to arc flash and live parts. Code compliance is greatly simplified because the trailer plug safety features ensure an electrically safe work condition.

WELDING :
Workers risk exposure to arc flash when disconnecting standard welder plugs and receptacles. To prevent accidents install UL/CSA switch rated welder plugs and receptacles from Meltric. They are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in one device. Meltric’s receptacles/connectors feature a built-in switching function that ensures the contacts are safely deenergized before the welding machine plug can be withdrawn. Arc flash safety is ensured. By having the male plug already wired to the welder, moving the welding apparatus around the plant becomes safe and easy!

GENERATOR :
Workers risk exposure to arc flash when disconnecting standard generator plugs and receptacles. To prevent accidents install MELTRIC UL/CSA switch rated generator plugs and receptacles from Meltric. They are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in one device. Meltric’s receptacles/connectors feature a built-in switching function that ensures the contacts are safely deenergized before the generator plug can be withdrawn. Arc flash safety is ensured. With multiple recepatacle available on a generator, quickly connecting and disconnecting the right plug into the right receptacle is safe and easy.  Color coded voltage gaskets and "keyed" insertion means the right plug and receptacle go together every time and never a mistake.

CORD DROP and HOIST :
MELTRIC Decontactor plugs and receptacles are designed and rated to make and break electrical loads in complete safety while providing users with significant protection in the event of overloads or short circuits. Special protective equipment and training are not required to make and break connections. MELTRIC DECONTACTOR™ Series switch rated plugs and receptacles are ideal for connecting power to hoist systems. They ensure safety and enable plug and play hoist change-outs. An electrically safe work condition is ensured even when disconnecting under load plus NFPA 70E compliance is greatly simplified. NO SUITS, NO MESS, NO DANGER.

SHORE POWER :
Meltric's shore power plugs and receptacles are ideal for marine ship to shore power connections. Meltric industrial plugs and receptacles offer superior durability and safety relative to pin and sleeve or twist type devices. The silver-nickel, butt style contacts perform particularly well in harsh saltwater environments and safety features ensure protection from arc flash.

MOTORS :
Using Meltric Decontactor plugs and receptacles to connect motors instead of hard-wiring can help to reduce equipment change-out downtime by as much as 50%. Optional integral auxiliary contacts can be used to communicate motor temperatures back to a control center so preventative maintenance can be performed before motor failure occurs.When replacement motors are pre-wired with Meltric Decontactor inlets or plugs, a mechanic can safely perform the electrical connections simply by unplugging the old motor and plugging in the new one. SAFE, QUICK, EASY. Meltric Makes It Easy!

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.

Disconnect Combinations – Provide convenience and visual verification of deenergization

SAFETY SWITCH/RECEPTACLE COMBINATIONS

• DSN Receptacle (DS is standard)
• DB Receptacle
• Straight Adapter (Angle is standard)
• Non-Fused (Fused is standard)
• Transformers
• Reverse Service

Meltric’s non-interlocked safety switch disconnects are intended for use in power supply applications where additional over current and short circuit protection is desired. Since Decontactor™ Series products are UL and CSA Switch rated, there is no need for the receptacle to be interlocked to the switch. The load may be safely made or broken by throwing the switch lever or by simply connecting or disconnecting the plug.

The standard Meltric Safety Switch Disconnect consists of a DS Series receptacle and angle mounted and wired to a heavy duty, single throw, fusible safety switch. They can optionally be provided with DSN or DB series Decontactors, straight mounting adapters, non-fused switches, or with circuit breaker protection.

Backbox Adapter Plates – Simplify replacement of competitive devices with Decontactors

ADAPTER PLATES

Updating your facility with Decontactor™ Series plugs and receptacles is simple and affordable with Meltric’s adapter plates. They allow the mounting of Decontactors to existing boxes previously used for competitive devices. This avoids the cost and hassle of installing new boxes and performing associated re-piping and rewiring. If an adapter plate for the box you have is not listed, contact customer service and Meltric will design a new one to fit your application.

Cord Grips – Enhance strain relief and cord gripping

CORD GRIPS

WS Single Pole Welding Connectors – Fast and reliable connections

WS WELDING CONNECTORS

WS devices allow users to make fast and reliable connections of welding cables. Their spring-loaded silver contacts provide connections that are unaffected by cable movement or vibration and operate with a self-cleaning wiping action that ensures a reliable electrical connection every time.

LC Battery Connectors – Easy operation with the safety of silver-nickel butt style contacts

LC BATTERY CONNECTORS

The periodic charging of batteries for many applications (including electric boats and material handling vehicles) requires frequent connector operations. In order to avoid current interrupting on the charging contacts, a pilot contact is generally used. The pilot contact is designed to break before the main contacts, thereby signalling the circuit breaker to function.

Meltric’s LC battery connectors, are made with spring-loaded, silver-nickel butt style contacts, which are operated by means of a lever. This design ensures a superior electrical connection and the quick and easy operation of the device. The lever also provides a means of locking the units together to help prevent accidental disengagement. By contrast, many competitive battery charger connectors use sliding contacts.  Because of how they operate, sliding contacts cannot provide the electrical performance, the durability or the quick breaking capabilities of Meltric’s lever operated and spring-loaded, silver-nickel butt contacts.

Voltage/Phase Rotation Meter – Easy means of testing Meltric receptacles for voltage

PHASE ROTATION METER ASSEMBLIES

Voltage/Phase Rotation Meters offer customers an easy means of testing Meltric receptacles for voltage, as well as, motor rotation. The product consists of an inlet and handle wired to the meter. Smaller devices use standard nylon handles, while larger devices are provided with PH handles and cord-grips.

Switch Rated Plugs and Receptacles

Meltric's Decontactor Series products are a combination electrical plug and receptacle and disconnect switch in the same device. Decontactors are designed to allow users to safely make and break connections under full load even in overload and short circuit conditions. Protection from exposure to live parts and arc flash is ensured at all times during the operation of the device. Decontactors make it easy to provide plug & play connections for all your downtime critical equipment. They can be easily configured for use in a wide variety of applications such as for use as inline connectors/switches or they may be mounted on wall boxes, distribution panels or even directly on equipment.

ARC flash protection is a trademark of the Meltric product line. Decontactors are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch. With Decontactors installed, workers can safely and easily make and break electrical connections under full load. The receptacle's dead front prevents access to live
parts and thus, exempts workers from needing to follow OSHA/NFPA 70E specified work procedures associated with performing energized electrical work. Drawing an arc during plug removal is an inherent hazard with traditional pin and sleeve and twist type devices. Meltric Decontactors are designed to eliminate this hazard by isolating the making and breaking of the contacts in enclosed arc chambers and by ensuring that the plug contacts are deenergized and isolated from live parts before the plug can be removed.

When a Decontactor's 'OFF' button is pushed, its spring-loaded operating mechanism instantly opens the contacts to break the circuit and ejects the plug to the 'OFF' position. The quick breaking of the contacts (15 milliseconds) minimizes arcing; any that does occur is safely contained within the arc chamber.

Dead Front Construction: Meltric Decontactors have a dead front design to protect users from accidental exposure to live parts and arcing. The dead front is accomplished with a safety shutter on the receptacle along with enclosed arc chambers and a skirted plug casing. Since there is no access to live parts, Meltric products simplify compliance to the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

Silver-Nickel Contacts : Meltric uses solid silver-nickel contact surfaces on almost all of its plug and receptacle product lines. The 85% silver/15% nickel composition of the contacts add the beneficial physical properties of nickel to the excellent electrical characteristics of silver.

This silver-nickel material provides significant advantages
over the brass materials used on most other types of plugs and receptacles.

Silver-nickel maintains its low contact resistance and superior electrical properties even after oxidation and tarnishing. Silver-nickel withstands arcing very well and only welds at extremely high pressure and temperature. Thanks to the influence of the nickel, silver-nickel provides excellent wear resistance. Silver-nickel performs wells in and withstands wet and corrosive environments.

Meltric Plugs come in 20, 30, 60, 100, 200, 250, 300, 600 amp versions. They come in plastic and metal housings and in NEMA 4 and Explosion Proof ratings. The switches can be cord mounted or mounted to a junction box.

Meltric makes multi-pin plugs, up to 37 pins and use of some pins can be for control. The order that the contacts mate is, Ground first, neutral, phases, and then auxiliary.

Meltric's most popular series is their DSN series in 20, 30 and 60 amp deContactors.

Other key benefits:

Simplify Code Compliance

Avoid Costs of disconnects

Reduce Change-Out Times
