Incorporating many options and components into a smooth, contoured design, the Woodhead ArcArrest 30.0 and 60.0A Switch-Rated Connector System delivers the simplest and fastest way to de-energize industrial machines and equipment while under load and perform lockout/tagout operations.
Visually De-Energize Equipment:
The Woodhead ArcArrest Connector System, with 30.0 and 60.0A options, delivers the simplest and fastest way to de-energize industrial machines and equipment. There is visual proof — by the plug being separated from the receptacle — that power has been removed.
Line-of-Sight Disconnect:
The Woodhead ArcArrest Switch-Rated Connector System is the local means of disconnect for industrial machinery as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Lockout Tagout:
Lockout provisions in the plug and receptacle allow for fast, positive compliance with OSHA requirements for lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety.
Arc Flash Protection:
The Woodhead ArcArrest receptacle protects workers from arcing energy by maintaining a connection with the plug during connection or disconnection.
The Woodhead ArcArrest Connector System consists of plugs and receptacles that provide the safety and functionality of a switch. Plugs and receptacles listed under UL 2682 can operate as switches and be used to disconnect equipment, even while energized, due to its unique silver-alloy contact tips.
In manufacturing facilities, there are severe repercussions for servicing equipment that has not been locked out. The ArcArrest Connector System provides visual proof that power has been removed (i.e., the plug is separated from the receptacle).
