1 Features and Ratings p. 132 PF/PFQ A p. 133 PF/PFQ Lugs p. 135 Spare parts p. 137 Dimensions p. 138 High amperage plugs & receptacles PF and PFQ Series plugs and receptacles are engineered for use in high amperage applications where routine plug insertion and high reliability are required. They are ideal for power supply applications in mining, petroleum platform, ship to shore, power generation system, shipyard and other similar harsh environments. Main Advantages u Durable in harsh environments u Safety features provide maximum protection u Easy plug insertion and removal PFQ300 devices are differentiated from similarly rated PF300 devices in their smaller size, lighter weight and different pilot contacts. 131

2 Product Features Operating Instructions Auxiliary Pilot Contacts Provided for use with control circuits. They close after and open before the phase contacts. Mechanical Locking System Ensures safety and watertightness. Mechanical lock secures the inlet to the receptacle and engages the pilot contacts. PF devices are preferred for the ease of operation relative to pin and sleeve devices. 1 2 Casing Epoxy/powder coated aluminum material offers great resistance to harsh environments. Silver Pressure Contacts Silver material and self-cleaning action provides maximum conductivity and performance in dirty and corrosive conditions. Safety Shutter Protects recessed female contacts and inhibits user access to live parts. Insert the plug into the receptacle this is done with little resistance relative to competitive devices.

Failure to use a pilot/relay system can create an electrical shock hazard. 4 Turning the mechanical lock secures the inlet to the receptacle and engages the pilot contacts which energize the circuit. 5 To disconnect, turn mechanical lock to disengage pilot contacts and de-energize the circuit. Twist plug 30 counterclockwise to disengage the phase contacts, withdraw plug. 132
