Simplify Maintenance

Decontactors allow mixers and other equipment to be safely connected with plug and play simplicity. Mechanics can easily replace or service equipment without needing an electrician on site and without the need for electrical PPE, as required by NFPA 70E. Equipment change-out times are significantly reduced, worker exposure to harsh environments is minimized,and re-wiring errors are eliminated (no more motors running backwards).

Simplify NEC Code Compliance

Using Decontactors to connect pumps, grinders (shown) or other equipment, automatically provides the NEC required 'line of sight' disconnect. The installation of Decontactors is a simple and cost effective means of achieving code compliance on new or existing installations. Decontactors function as a local disconnect and provide positive visual verifications that power is off. The need and expense of a separate disconnect switch is eliminated.

Provide Durable Connections

Decontactors are ideal for connecting submersible pumps in both indoor and outdoor applications. Their spring-loaded, silver-nickel butt-style contacts provide consistently superior electrical performance over thousands of operations and are resistant to wear, corrosion, oxidation, and other factors that contribute to the premature failure of pin & sleeve devices. They also feature a patented, spring assisted, screw terminal design that helps prevent connections from loosening over time due to conductor yield and vibration.

Ensure Safety for Maintenance Personnel

In addition to the safety benefit inherent in the contact design, all Decontactors have dead front construction, enclosed arc chambers and short circuit make and withstand ratings of at least 10kA. The dead front prevents user access to live parts and the short circuit rating ensures safety during insertion, even under overload or locked rotor conditions. Decontactors eliminate the safety hazards associated with pin & sleeve devices.
