100 Amp Shore Power Devices Stand Up To Mother Nature

100 Amp Power Device

Ship-to-shore power devices are always stuck out in the elements, subjected to heat, cold, rain, snow or corrosive salt spray. Hubbel l Marine offers a high-quality line of 100 amp pin and sleeve plugs, connector bodies and components designed to withstand damaging marine conditions. Hubbel l Marine’s shore power inlets use a spring-loaded, gasketed cover that automatically closes when not in use, creating a weatherproof seal. Locking the cover makes it watertight. Inside, nickel-plated, solid brass pins ensure a reliable electrical contact . A high-impact thermoset contact carrier is resistant to arcing and overheating to enhance safety. Terminals are clearly marked for simple installation.

Rugged connector bodies are made from Zytel, a super-tough nylon, and can be attached to cords from 1″ to 1.94″ . Various models connect to shore power inlets, extension cords or adapters. A gasketed locking ring ensures watertight connections. Large external cable grips protect wiring from conductor movement and resulting terminal strain. Compatible with existing cables, they simplify replacement of worn-out fittings.

Hubbel l Marine’s 100 amp devices come in 125/250, 120/208 and 277/480 volt versions. Inlet and receptacles boxes, closure caps and replacement parts are also available. They meet USCG requirements, are UL Listed and have ABYC approval.
