KEMP, Texas, April 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting expert, Larson Electronics LLC, released a 4-pole 2-wire explosion proof extension cord that allows operators to extend the range of their explosion proof lights and equipment cords. This 100-foot 12/4 SOOW cord features a T-style plug and comes in 125V or 1250V configuration, ideal for use in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, wet location and other industrial worksites.
The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A is a 100-foot explosion proof 12/4 SOOW extension cord. This 20-amp rated, chemical and abrasion resistant cord comes with an explosion proof 20-amp receptacle on one end and a 20-amp explosion proof plug on the other. The extension cord uses a T-style plug that works with both explosion and non-explosion proof standard receptacles and plugs, except for 120V wall outlets. These plugs and receptacles are cross-interchangeable with some Crouse Hind™ part# ENP5201 and Hubble-Killark part# UGP-20231 ACCEPTOR® plugs and receptacles, meaning any equipment with these plugs should function correctly with the EPEXC-100-12.4-20A cord.
The included plugs are twist-lock models that require operators to insert the plug and twist until it locks in place, thus enhancing working connection and ensuring a safe seal to avoid electrical sparks. The receptacle contacts are deep recessed which decreases the chances of accidental contact. These receptacles also accept NEMA 5-20R or 6-20R compatible non-explosion proof plugs for non-hazardous worksites. The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A extension cord is offered in a 125V or 250V configuration and is constructed of copper-free aluminum with an epoxy powder coat.
“The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A allows operators to safely extend the reach of their lighting and other electrical equipment in explosive environments, as well as non-hazardous locations,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The use of T-style plugs allows the extension cord to be used in non-explosive environments if desired, and both the plug and receptacle are interchangeable with other company models making this cord much more versatile.”
