Most Meltric products including all Decontactor™ Series plugs and receptacles are designed with dead front construction to eliminate the possibility of access to live parts to all but the correct mating plug after insertion into the receptacle. Since there is no access to live parts, Meltric products simplify compliance to the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

Dead front construction eliminates the possibility of access to live parts.

• Live parts can be accessed only by the mating plug after insertion into the receptacle
  
  
• Different contact configurations and locations are used to prevent mating of plugs and receptacles with different
  (non-compatible) voltages, polarity or amperage
  
  

Competitive products allow easy access to live parts which significantly increases the probability of injury due to accidental contact or arcing.
