Meltric Industrial Plugs & Receptacles
Meltric industrial plugs and receptacles are engineered to provide safe, reliable power connections in demanding industrial applications. Designed with user safety and system reliability in mind, these connectors combine rugged construction with switch-rated functionality, allowing equipment to be safely connected and disconnected under load. This integrated disconnect capability supports safer maintenance and operational flexibility across a wide range of industrial environments.
A key advantage of Meltric plugs and receptacles is their ability to function as branch circuit disconnect devices. Switch-rated designs allow operators to make or break a circuit without the need for a separate disconnect switch, reducing installation complexity and minimizing the risk of arc flash during connection or disconnection. These connectors are suitable for both standard and hazardous locations and are designed to handle high amperage loads with controlled switching performance.
Meltric products are available in multiple configurations, including high-ampacity models, multipin connectors, and hazardous-location-rated plugs and receptacles. Features such as spring-loaded silver-nickel contacts help maintain low resistance and consistent contact pressure over repeated connection cycles. Built for use in factories, process control facilities, and power generation environments, Meltric plugs and receptacles support reliable power distribution while prioritizing personnel and equipment safety.
