PowerLock Applications
The VEAM PowerLock connector series for field installation power distribution systems offers the ultimate in
safety and reliability under the most severe operating conditions.
PowerLock is available in four standard formats which allow complete hook up through the standard daisy chain
principle. There are two Source connectors, one for panel mounting and one for cable attachment. These are
identified as Panel Source and Line Source. The other two types are Drain connectors. These connectors are
identified as Panel Drain and Line Drain.
Typical applications for PowerLock include three phase motors, generators, load banks, lighting distribution pan-
els and in-house supplies. PowerLock connectors serve a very diverse industry base which includes
outdoor concerts, carnivals, sporting events, television outdoor broadcast, theatres, electricity supply companies
and many heavy industrial environments such as construction.

ITT Veam PowerLock connectors are plastic bodied single pole electrical connectors used
in high current applications. For use in single and polyphase power distribution
systems up to 660 amps, the range includes panel and cable mounted connec-
tors, and associated accessories. PowerLock connectors are moisture and
impact resistant and feature insulated contact tips to prevent accidental
touching of electrically live parts. Typical uses include 3 phase motors,
generators, wind turbines and power distribution boards in a wide variety of
applications.
PowerLock connectors are easy to terminate to cable using either industry standard crimp tools or set-screw contacts.
The silver plated contacts are available in 2 continuous current ranges, those with brass contacts are suitable for use
up to 400 amps and those with copper contacts up to 660 amps.
The high impact plastic connector bodies are keyed to prevent connection errors, and color coded to suit 3 phase elec-
trical systems that are used in the US, Europe and Australia.

Connectors for attachment directly to cable (line connectors) are supplied with a loose contact. Fitting to the cable is
by either crimp or set-screw termination, the contact is then retained within the insulator body with a nylon cotter pin.
Secure coupling of a connector pair is through a bayonet lock together with a secondary locking pin. The secondary lock
engages when the bayonet lock is fully turned and disconnection requires a simple release key. The secondary lock dis-
courages tampering and reduces the risk of accidental or unauthorised disconnection. If fast disconnection is required,
for an application where tampering is not a risk, the connectors can be fitted with a sliding collar that quickly unlocks
the connectors.
Cable connectors are fitted with cable glands to fit a wide range of cables. The cable glands, together with an interfa-
cial seal, provide an ingress protection level of IP67 when mated.

Connector Descriptions
Source – this the term used to describe the connector fitted with a male contact in a female housing, it is usually the
connector attached to the source of the power, i.e. the ‘live’ connector, the contact is fitted with an insulated end cap
to prevent accidental finger touching of live parts.
Drain – this is the term used to describe the connector fitted with a female contact in a male housing, this is not nor-
mally the live connector, however it does include a spring loaded insulated cap to prevent finger touching.
The Drain connector is fitted with a secondary locking pin that locks into the mating half when the 2 connectors are
fully engaged. A simple release key is required to disconnect the parts.
Line – The line connector is the free connector fitted to a cable. Crimp or Set-Screw contacts are available for attach-
ing the conductor.
Panel – Panel connectors feature a square 4 hole flange for attaching to a panel. The 4 holes are normally supplied
open, however can be pre-fitted with threaded inserts to reduce mounting time.

To simplify PowerLock connections to a fixed unit, five port boxes are available with built in safety features.
Each box offers a sequential mating feature that requires the individual lines be connected in order, Ground
first then Neutral followed by the three Phases and disconnected in the reverse order. Once connected the
boxes can be locked to prevent unauthorized disconnection.
There are two version of boxes available, both designed to fit 19” rack mounting, if required. The original NRG
box requires a space of 4U (177.8 mm or 7”) and incorporates cover flaps that open only when the previous
connector in the sequence is correctly fitted. The PowerLock Box requires half the space at 2U (89mm or 3.5”)
and is available with or without a sealed lid.
Both NRG and PowerLock Boxes are color coded and keyed to only accept a connector of the correct line.
Coding is available to suit various international three phase standards.
In fact, anywhere you need to feed power into or out of a low voltage network, one of our boxes offers a
safe and convenient connection point.

A PowerLock Box is a 3 phase high power connecting unit, used as a termination point for power cables. The
boxes include a number of safety features to prevent incorrect connection and disconnection. All PowerLock
devices are ‘keyed’ to eliminate the possibility of connecting with the wrong line, and color coded to suit
international 3 phase standards.
Anywhere that you are unable to rely on a public utility power source, a PowerLock Box can provide a
connection point for a mobile generator, into your low voltage (1500 volt DC) network.
Typical Applications
• Mobile Generators
• Power for field camps
• Hospitals
• Outdoor events
• Welding equipment
• Barrack blocks
• Dockside power plant
• Data and Intelligence centers
• Bring in a generator during an emergency, connect to a PowerLock Box, and you are quickly up and
running again
• Whenever you need a flexible source of low voltage power, with a PowerLock Box installed, you have a
safe and secure connection point.

Mounting Options
The PowerLock Box is designed for mounting to 19” racks or
to a panel cut out. For 19” rack mounting the unit is sup-
plied to fit a 2U spacing, and where an overlap is required
for fitting to a panel cut out, the PowerLock Box can be sup-
plied with a flange, making the overall height 107mm. The
rear view of a flanged version is shown (right).
Each connector port has an M12 threaded post with nut and spring
washer on the rear for the fixed cabling of the PowerLock Box. In
addition there is a 3 pole connector on the rear of the box, connect-
ed to a micro-switch that is activated once all cable connectors are
inserted into the PowerLock Box. The box is then operated as fol-
lows:
• For a box fitted with a sealed lid, first unlock the lid using the
key provided, for the un-lidded go straight to the next step
• Insert the Ground/Earth connector into the green port on the
left and turn 45° to the right to lock
• Insert in sequence, from left to right, the Neutral followed by
the 3 phases
• Once the Line 3 connector is in place, using the key provided,
lock the box as indicated on the front panel
• The box is now connected and ready to be powered up

The NRG Sequential mating box comes in a 19” rack format and guarantees the proper sequence of mating and
un-mating a set of PowerLock connectors. All ports are keyed to ensure that only the correct connector is fitted.
The patented cam operated covers on each of the panel connectors ensure that the correct sequence of Ground,
Neutral, Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 is followed.
Once connected, the system can be locked by a key to prevent un-mating of the system by unauthorized people.
For further safety, the unit also features a micro-switch connection on the lock that can be hooked up to a circuit
breaker. When the lock is disabled the circuit breaker will trip and isolate the panel from the main power, thus pre-
venting the disconnection of the unit while under load.
A primary lock can also be used when the system is idle to prevent unauthorized connection of the power cables.
With two current rating options of 400A and 600A, the NRG box is available as either a Panel Source or Panel Drain
unit, each having an IP54 rating when mated. The NRG system is completely compatible and intermateable with
all original PowerLock connectors. European, USA, and Australian color code versions are available.
The NRG Box can be locked to prevent access to the connector ports, and when all lines are connected to prevent
unauthorized tampering with the unit.
The NRG Box features a switch that is connected to the lock. A connector is provided on the back of the box that
can be used to signal the status of the box.

This compact unit incorporates a PowerLock generator input connection point with a rear termination area to accept
solid alloy cable cores.
This enables a temporary mobile generator to be connected to an underground cable when repair work is undertaken.
The cable is excavated, cut and the PowerLock connector then fitted to the cable cores via 2 set screws. The generator
cable end can then directly link into the underground cable.
After completion of the repair, the PowerLock fittings are simply removed and the main cable spliced using existing
methods.
This device allows for direct connection of a generator unit to Low Voltage overhead line systems.
The unit consists of an insulated Line Clamp, 3 meters of 50mm2 flexible copper cable and a PowerLock generator input
cable, other lengths are available upon request.
The generator connection point offers all standard safety features associated with the PowerLock range, such as keys to
distinguish phases, IP67 sealing and individual phase color coding.

When not mated, the connector interface can be protected by using a sealing cap.
Two types of cap are offered, a simple soft plastic cap providing IP53 protection and
an environmentally sealed rigid plastic cap with IP67 protection and the secondary
lock feature, these are color coded to suit the parent connector.
All caps are fitted with a cord lanyard for securing to it’s parent connector. Cable
connectors have a loop in the cord to fit around the cable gland, it is necessary to
specify the cable gland size in the part number when ordering to ensure the correct
size loop is supplied. Caps for panel connectors have an M6 ring terminal on the
end of the lanyard.
Caps not only offer protection against ingress of moisture and dirt into the inter-
face of the PowerLock connector, they also offer a degree of protection against mechanical damage that can be caused
when connectors on cables are being handled and transported.

JW4ST (3.625” / 92mm pitch) fuse carrier was developed to provide a safe and efficient means of connecting a mobile
generator supply cable to fully shrouded or non-shrouded distribution boards. The unit complies with the
requirements of EATS 37.2.
The generator cable (when fitted with PowerLock Line Drain cable coupler) can be plugged directly into the Fuse Carrier
and used to feed either the Low Voltage bus-bar or feeder circuit.
The fuse generator connector is finger proof to avoid accidental touching of live elements.
The input connectors are color coded and mechanically keyed to prevent connection errors. Line 1 units will only accept
a Line 1 generator connector.
The integral generator connector also accepts generator connectors with the patented secondary locking device
which eliminates the potential of accidental disconnection under load conditions.
Because this unit is direct replacement for the existing standard JW4ST fuse unit, it offers a safe, fast and cost
effective method of upgrading existing distribution boards to have generator input points. It is not necessary to make
any modifications to the cabinet other than remove an existing fuse way and replace with the JW4ST system.
JW4ST82 (3.25” / 82mm pitch) fuse carrier was developed to provide a safe and efficient means of connecting a mobile
generator supply cable to fully shrouded or non-shrouded distribution boards. The unit complies with the requirements
of EATS 37.2.
The JW4ST82 fuse unit also offers the ability to make a direct connection to many pole mounted transformer fuse units.
