Application Spotlights
Infrastructure & Utilities
Meltric decontactors provide safe, switch-rated connections for infrastructure projects including tunnels, dams, and municipal power distribution. Dead front construction eliminates arc flash risk during connection and disconnection, which is critical in confined spaces where worker escape routes are limited. The 100 kA short circuit rating provides protection in high-fault-current utility environments.
Emergency & Public Safety Vehicles
Self-ejecting Meltric plugs are used on emergency vehicles, commercial trucks, and transit buses. The automatic release mechanism disconnects shore power when the vehicle moves, preventing cable damage and electrical hazards. These connections provide reliable power for onboard systems during standby while allowing instant departure without manual disconnection.
Temporary Power Distribution
Construction sites, event venues, and disaster relief operations use Meltric decontactors for portable power distribution panels. Switch-rated connectors allow field personnel to safely reconfigure power circuits without electricians or lockout/tagout procedures. IP 66/67 rated enclosures protect connections from weather exposure in outdoor installations.
