Female powercon to Male Edison Convertor

Re: Female powercon to Male Edison Convertor

The only way I'll use these heat shrink style adapters is because they live in the rack, away from floor traffic. The powercon is pulled all the way into the rack via a panel.

I am looking for a cost effective way to make short Female Powercon to Male Edison cables. The only legit way I currently see to do this is take a male Powercon to Male Edison cable and use a powercon coupler on the powercon side. Effective, but very costly. Has anyone come up with a good way to do this?

The answer is in your question. That is the solution. $20-25 per instance I would imagine?

Agree with Tim, not kosher with just heatshrink or the boot...

Why not one of these with a plate and gland on the one end, and the powercon on the other?? Wouldn't think it would be too bulky. Just have to figure out how to earth the shell in a complying way.

I agree and was thinking the same
The other side could have a blank with a compression fitting mounted on it

Hey Dan! How you been?

Problem is the blank box costs about $4 less than the coupler I posted in the picture about. Don't know how this is possible, but that is what the cost difference is thru my wholesale.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I think the only safe way to do it is using the powercon coupler.

Are those little boxes conductive in any way? if the solder was to go cold a hot and ground could it electrocute someone? I like the idea, other than solder or slip on connectors did you do anything else internally?

Kip,

PowerCon connectors use screw-down terminals, as far as I'm aware. I guess that some end users could feel that soldering is necessary, but a properly cranked-down terminal should only require semi-annual checking, unless regularly abused.

Panel mounts are solder or use stake-ons. Ground cannot solely rely on solder per code.

If anything touches the shell, it shorts to ground and trips the breaker. The very reason the ground exists.

Re: Female powercon to Male Edison Convertor

All of my panel mounts are solder, all of my cable mounts are screw on.

I would guess the the only time it would risk shorting would be if it was moved, which would mean someone would have their hand on it.

Where do you get those little boxes. I have some that have come with Nuetrik couplers, but wasn't aware that you could purchase seperately. Seems like a solid way to do it.
