Eaton Crouse-Hinds BHR and SRD Explosionproof Interlocked Receptacles

Eaton Crouse-Hinds BHR and SRD Explosionproof Interlocked Receptacles

The Arktite BHR and SRD series are explosionproof interlocked receptacles designed for hazardous areas, providing safe power to portable equipment like motor-generator sets, compressors, heating/cooling units, lighting systems, and conveyors. These units feature a built-in rotary switch that prevents plug engagement or disengagement under load, ensuring safety in environments with flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts.

Key Features

  • Certifications:
    • BHR: Class I, Div. 1 & 2, Groups B, C, D; Class II, Div. 1 & 2, Groups F, G; Class III; NEMA 3R, 7BCD, 9FG.
    • SRD: Class I, Div. 1 & 2, Groups C, D; Class II, Div. 1 & 2, Groups F, G; Class III; NEMA 3R, 7CD, 9FG (no Group B).
  • Ratings: 30A, 60A, 100A; 600 VAC max, 250 VDC max.
  • Interlock: Rotary switch operates automatically via plug insertion/removal; contacts engage before the switch closes and disengage after it opens, isolating arcing in a flame-tight chamber.
  • Operation: Plug fastening ring unscrews for straight-pull disconnection; no external handle required.
  • Materials: Copper-free aluminum housing, brass contacts.
  • Plugs: Compatible with Arktite BHP (BHR) and SP (SRD) plugs, featuring pressure terminations.
  • Wiring: Receptacles have flexible leads for splicing; large threaded cover provides access.

Applications

  • BHR: Refineries, chemical plants with hydrogen (Group B) or equivalent hazards.
  • SRD: Petroleum facilities, grain processing plants with flammable gases (Groups C, D) or dusts (Groups F, G).

*Notes:

  • Cat. # Breakdown: E.g., BHR3323 = 30A, 2W3P, Style 2, 1″ hub. SRD643 = 60A, 3W4P, 1-1/4″ hub.
  • Hubs: BHR offers top, bottom, or through-feed (3/4″ to 2″); SRD uses fixed 1-1/4″ vertical through-feed back box.
  • Plugs: BHP (brass contacts) for BHR; SP (with cable grip, neoprene bushing) for SRD.*

Back Boxes for BHR and SRD

  • BHR: Does not use separate back boxes; conduit hubs (3/4″ to 2″) are integral to the assembly for top, bottom, or through-feed setups.
  • SRD: Includes a factory-provided back box with 1-1/4″ vertical through-feed hubs. Optional separate back boxes (e.g., AJC108) can adapt to other conduit layouts.
