ECHOLOGY AD What you should know about standards All industrial plugs and socket-outlets are governed by the international European standard IEC/E 6009-. his standard contains general quality rules (performance criteria, testing ) that all plugs and socketoutlets should comply with in order not to endanger the safety of people and property. Regardless of their techniques (pin and sleeve contacts, butt-style contacts, flat contacts, ) all plugs and sockets throughout the world have to comply with the general quality rules of the IEC/E 6009- standard. One category of industrial plugs and socket-outlets using the brass pin and sleeve contact technology with harmonised configurations is governed by a specific standard: IEC/E 6009-. It is a special standard for this particular plug socket-outlet; it sets dimensional rules enabling a manufacturer s male plug to connect to another manufacturer s female socket-outlet and vice versa. So far, there are needs for over 70 different electrical supplies in the industrial world (voltage, frequency, AC and DC currents), based on the requirements of the application, plus major constraints associated with environments: chemical, food-processing, mining, etc. However the IEC/E 6009- standard limits by definition both the number of contact configurations available and the technology to meet the demands of industry. Marechal opted out of the optional IEC/E6009- dimensional standard of brass pin and sleeve technology in preference for silvernickel tip butt contact technology. Marechal has been manufacturing a real alternative to connector users for over fifty years offering safety and electrical performance in strict compliance with the obligatory industrial connector standards around the world. Only plugs and socket-outlets using butt-contacts meet users requirements, in strict compliance with standards and directives... o meet both the connection requirements of many of the world s countries and the different voltages and polarities within those countries, the manufacturers of butt-contact connectors have come together to form an association called BECMA* he Butt-contact Electrical Connectors Manufacturing Association. Its purpose is to ensure common engineering standards for product to comply with both the IEC/E 6009- and European Low Voltage Directive (LVD). E 6009- plugs and socket-outlets E 6009- Brass pin and sleeve contacts O E 6009- pin and sleeve contacts Silver-nickel butt-contact Other technologies he E 6009- standard does not cover: rectangular-shaped plugs and sockets-outlets (such as charger connectors for fork lifts), plugs and socket-outlets using flat contacts (such as American plugs and sockets), plugs and socket-outlets using butt- contacts, plugs and socket-outlets equipped with auxiliary contacts, plugs and socket-outlets with breaking and making capacity required for motor power supply, plugs and socket-outlets with rated current exceeding 5 A, plugs and socket-outlets that required live part protection against any unwanted contact on the socket-outlet side and plug side (such as charger connectors on electric vehicles), etc. he purpose of the Association is to give to its members the means to achieve plugs and socket-outlets interchangeability, in a manner that does not endanger the safety of people and property, as required by international standard, IEC 6009-, and the European Low Voltage Directive. o do so, the members of the Association agreed to comply strictly and fully with a common technical documentation, and to harmonise their manufacturing processes. Based on the butt-contact technology developed by MARECHAL ELECRIC since 95, BECMA s harmonisation system is a true, faithful IERAIOAL IERCHAGEABILIY SADARD that closely meets various industrial applications and their geographical scope. Manufacturers of butt-contact plugs and socket-outlets offer several ranges of plugs and sockets and DECOACOR (plugs and sockets with an integral switching device): D type decontactors intended for heavy industries, DS decontactors and P current plugs and sockets intended for manufacturing industries, DS decontactors with a high watertightness level, intended for food-processing companies, DX and DX decontactors for use in explosive atmospheres. * for more information: www.becma.ch O E 6009- plugs and socket-outlets AEX 94/9/EC explosion proof plugs and socket-outlets 6 MARECHAL ELECRIC Catalogue

DECOACOR OR PLUG & SOCKE-OULE? HE MAI DIFFERECES Operation of a DECOACOR M When a DECOACOR is connected, its high safety technology makes any accident impossible Just pressing with the finger on the button will switch off the DECOACOR. he plug then travels back automatically into a parked position. A quarter of a turn (to the left for the DS and DS; to the right for the D) is enough to separate the plug from the socket-outlet. his is done very safely since the device has been switched off. he plug and socket-outlet are then separated. hanks to the safety shutter located in front of the socket-outlet (for the DS and DS), live parts are inaccessible to touch and contact by wires exceeding mm in diameter (IP4X lid open). 4 Decontactors are industrial plugs and socket-outlets using the silver-butt contacts instead of the brass pins and sleeves. Moreover, they have an integral switching device allowing to make and break mixed resistive and inductive loads in complete safety, as specified in the international standard, IEC/E 6009-, clause.8 for industrial plugs and socketoutlets as well as the international standard IEC/E 60947- for switches. High safety connection hanks to its integral switching device (AC /AC according to standard E 60947-), the decontactor can safely connect and disconnect devices up to 50 A. Just pressing on the button will switch off the decontactor. hus, the plug is de-energised before it is removed. As it prevents any risk of drawing an electric arc formation upon removing the plug, this system provides total safety to the user. In the event of a short-circuit, the Marechal DECOACOR guarantees safe handling: it is the only industrial plug and socket-outlet that has successfully passed short-circuit closing tests (Allen Bradley High Current Lab, Wisconsin, U.S.A). Safety has been Marechal engineers goal from the start: from the locking pawl to the layout of the earth contact, from the safety shutter to the stop button each DECOACOR detail has been designed with optimum safety in mind. he safety shutter at the front of the socket-outlet (DS/DS/DX ranges) remains locked when the plug is pulled out... With this system, live parts are totally inaccessible by the user, even if the lid is not closed. In order to eliminate any electrocution hazard, the earth contact is always located in the centre of the Marechal DECOACOR, thereby preventing any accidental connection with a phase contact. When the plug is inserted and withdrawn, the earth contact makes first and breaks last in order to provide continuous earthing, as required for safe handling. For any technical information regarding rated currents, please refer to the echnical Manual. 4 MARECHAL ELECRIC Catalogue
Advantages of the Marechal decontactors Integral switching device Closing on short circuit High safety usage Long term reliability Heavy duty umber of operations exceeding those stipulated in the standard Excellent resistance to high temperatures Significant overload tolerance Compliance with the French decree of 988 Compliance with European decrees (see echnical Manual) he ranges: two categories Competitiveness Marechal decontactors offer the most cost-effective solution: All-in-one socket-outlet and switch. he Marechal s modular system allows to connect in one single P++Esocket-outlet, plugs (P++E; P+E; P++E), thus reducing the number of socket-outlets and the installation costs. For in-line connections, no need to wire a pilot wire linked to a contactor or combine a distribution box with a switch. Flexibility on production site Motors connected by means of a Marechal DECOACOR can be moved quickly and safely, without any constraints or danger. Simply press the DECOACOR button any time a maintenance, repair or replacement job is needed. Machine downtime is significantly reduced compared with the hard wiring solution. Basically, the savings can be significant, knowing that stopping a production chain can lead to huge losses. Decontactors for standard applications: DS universal decontactors DS decontactors for manufacturing industry D heavy-duty decontactors (See Selection Guide on pages 6 and 7) Decontactors for use in explosive atmospheres: DX ed safety AEX decontactors (See page 0) o on-site electrician is required any more to unwire and rewire the motor, leading to additional savings. he quick connection of back-up motors using DECOACOR helps by-pass many redundant installations that were previously required to ensure continuous production in the event of a breakdown. hough they are mainly used to equip new industrial sites, decontactors are also retro-fitted in existing plants. hey can be used whenever partial renewal of the electrical installation is decided. Plugs and socket-outlets Marechal plugs and socketoutlets use the same buttcontact technology as the decontactors, though they do not have an integral switching device.
