Arktite NBR/NSR Non-metallic Interlocked Receptacles with Circuit Breakers or Disconnect Switches

Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series interlocked receptacles prevent engagement and disengagement of the plug under load, providing safe portable power connections and extended product life.

Arktite NBR/NSR non-metallic interlock receptacles with circuit breakers or disconnect switches are used to supply power and provide short circuit protection, thermal overload protection and a disconnect means for fixed or portable electrical equipment such as motor generator sets, compressors and conveyors.

To maximize safety, the spring door receptacle at the bottom is mechanically interlocked with the circuit breaker operating mechanism.  The circuit breaker cannot be closed until the plug is fully inserted and the plug cannot be withdrawn unless the breaker is open.

Manufactured from our high impact Krydon fiberglass-reinforced polyester, NBR and NSR interlock receptacles perform reliably in  industrial locations where corrosion is present, such as in offshore and marine locations, pulp and paper mills, chemical plants, food processing, and sewage treatment plants.
