Motor connection and disconnection

Marechal Electric manufactures a comprehensive range of both industrial and hazardous-area electrical connectors from 5 to 700 A. However given the pressure on costs faced by industry, we are promoting in particular a new concept for our Decontactor sockets. The decontactor has been traditionally used as a general supply socket outlet in various industries up to 250 A.

However the decontactor is also switch-rated and thus safe to make and break on load and provide visible isolation. As such a mechanic can disconnect and isolate a motor in seconds without incurring the costs of an electrician. Downtime is reduced with lower labour costs.

With companies looking for every advantage and a relentless drive to reduce costs the decontactor could be the newest concept to help them in pursuit of operating efficiency. Whether its a failed motor holding up production, a conveyor that needs to be re-positioned, a mixing vessel for wash down or a fan requiring maintenance there is a decontactor to suit the job offering IP66/IP67, no access to live parts and proven electrical performance.

We constantly meet plant engineers steeped in the tradition of hard-wiring who then, when presented with the
Decontactor concept, immediately grasp what a motor connected with a decontactor means in terms of time-saving, cost-saving and enhanced safety.
