Plugs for Water & Wastewater
Switch-rated plugs and receptacles function as the code required line of sight disconnect switch, eliminating the need for auxiliary disconnects. 
When you disconnect a switch-rated plug, you don’t need any PPE as it’s considered “Normal Operation.” 
You can easily LOTO, or lockout/tagout with Meltric plugs. 
Workers are not exposed to live parts or arc flash and Meltric plugs are automatically watertight, increasing safety.
Plugs for Food & Beverage
You can use Meltric plugs and receptacles in so many different locations of your food and beverage operation, each serving different purposes. Because of the various benefits of Meltric, your plant can be safer and easier to manage by utilizing the appropriate style of plug.
Meltric Plugs for Hazardous Locations
The features of Meltric plugs for hazardous locations are very similar to the switch-rated plugs, but with some additional features that ensure your safety. Notice below that there are explosion-proof pathways, hazardous duty termination areas, and an explosion-proof arc chamber.
Below you will see just a few more important features of the hazardous location products, including:
- Power and control in only 1 connection
- Push button circuit disconnection
- easy compliance with lockout/tagout requirements
Another major benefit of Meltric’s product line is that all of their offerings are modular. Because of this, once you know what you’ll be using the plugs and receptacles for, you can easily customize exactly what pieces give you what you need. While the products are very high quality and not likely to fail, you are also able to easily replace any part that does.
