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.
Back Box Cat. # | Amperage | Hub Size | Type | Material | Compatible Series |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Integral (BHR) | 30A-100A | 3/4″-2″ | Top/Bottom/Through | Copper-free aluminum | BHR |
SRD Back Box | 30A-100A | 1-1/4″ | Through-feed | Copper-free aluminum | SRD |
AJC108 (Optional) | 60A-100A | 1-1/2″ | Through-feed | Cast aluminum | SRD (if modified) |
