As superyachts and commercial vessels continue to increase in size and complexity, so do their onboard power requirements. Keeping pace with demand, Hubbell Marine, manufacturer of safe, high-amperage electrical connection products, is the only supplier to offer 200A Ship-to-Shore devices that are listed to UL 1682 standards and UL Classified.
Made in the USA, heavy-duty 200A Ship-To-Shore fittings are designed to be fully interchangeable with Crouse-Hinds Arktite and Appleton Powertite receptacles. The 4-pole, 5-wire 200A system is 600V AC/250 volt DC, 50-400 Hertz and accepts a cord range of #1 AWG to 250 MCM. A unique interior clamp and swivel/pressure pad design protects conductor strands while securing the cable at four separate points for superior retention.
For durable construction, the housing employs copper-free aluminum with an electrostatically applied epoxy/polyester finish. They're Type 3, 4 and 4X-rated per UL 50 standards for superior water resistance. The UL Listed and CSA Certified pins and sleeves of the connector are nickel-plated Tellurium copper for superior corrosion and heat resistance.
