Meltric Introduces Cost-Effective DSN150 Model Connector for High-Amperage Applications

Melissa Larson | October 9, 2014

According to Meltric Corp, its recently released  HP-rated, DSN150 switch-rated plug and receptacle marks a major product expansion for the company. The new DSN150 is a cost-effective connecting device for large motors or other high-amperage applications such as shore power, generators or power distribution.

The DSN Series is one of the product lines of Meltric’s DECONTACTOR Switch-Rated Plugs/Receptacles. Purchased by electrical construction, maintenance and facilities managers for their safety, reliability and durability, the DSN series is both switch-rated and horsepower rated, and a practical connection solution when quick, safe equipment changeouts are required. DSN Series connectors are also ideal for wet environments, common in the food/beverage industries, since they offer automatic Type 4X watertightness.

Prior to the introduction of the DSN150, the Meltric DSN Series was rated up to 60A/20HP. For very high-amperage applications, customers would have needed to purchase a DECONTACTOR Series 200A-rated device, the DS200 model, which was not HP-rated. Now, with the introduction of the DSN150, which extends the DSN Series to 75hp/150A, customers can purchase the more cost-effective, HP-rated DSN150.
