Arktite CPS/CPP Explosionproof Receptacles & Plugs and CPR Industrial Connectors

Crouse-Hinds series Arktite CPS and CPP explosionproof receptacles and plugs are used with portable electrically operated devices such as motor generator sets, compressors, conveyors, portable tools and lighting systems.

CPS receptacles are equipped with a rotating mechanism which prevents complete withdrawal of the CPP plug in one continuous movement.  This delayed action feature permits the plug to be used as an emergency push-pull switch.  Available in 20A and 30A configurations.

Arktite CPR delayed action cable connector receptacles are used in non-hazardous areas only to make up adapter sets for connecting portable devices having CPP plugs to receptacles in non-hazardous areas.  This is accomplished by equipping one end of the length of cable with the CPR connector and the other with a plug to mate with the receptacle in the non-hazardous area.  Available in 20A.
