7、itive latching action. 3.1.4 The plug and receptacle shall provide an arc shield feature by incorporating a shell to surround all the plug pins and other current carrying parts. 3.1.5 The plug shall incorporate a cable strain relief to prevent cable conductors from separating from their termination
8、points. 3.1.6 The receptacle shall have a spring loaded protective cover that snaps closed when the plug is removed. 3.1.7 Plugs and receptacles used in safety gate applications shall meet the following additional requirement (and item 3.2.6): 3.1.7.1 The receptacle shall be permanently mounted to a
9、 statio- nary member when possible. The plug shall have a chain approximately 30 cm (12 in.)long attached between the plug and the movable member of the safety gate to prevent the gate from being opened without disconnecting the plug from the receptacle. The chain shall be straight link, case harden
10、ed, and have an environmentally compatible covering to provide corrosion protection. 3.2 ELECTRICAL 3.2.1 Plugs and receptacles for portable equipment shall be 2-pole, 3-wire grounding type for 120 VAC equipment; and 3-pole , 4-wire grounding type for 240 VAC or 480 VAC equipment. 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.4
11、3.2.5 All plugs and receptacles used in control circuits shall be rated for a maximum of 250 or 300 VAC. All poles shall, be polarized, or plugs keyed, to prevent improper connection. All exposed metal or conductive parts shall be grounded. Plugs and receptacles shall be non-interchangeable between
12、different voltages and current ratings. Receptacles and plugs shall be provided with one fixed grounding pole in addition to the circuit poles. The grounding pole shall make connection before the current- carrying poles. FORD MANUFACTURING STANDARDS EPl MARCH 1994 PLUGS AND RECEPTACLES EPl Page 3 3.
