Appleton CPSA-2350 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Appleton CPSA-2350 pin and sleeve receptacle be used in a Class I, Division 1 area without an external seal?
Yes. The CPS Series receptacle is factory sealed, so no external seal fitting is required at the enclosure. It is certified for Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D and Class II, Division 1 and 2, Groups F, G, with NEMA 3RX and 7BCD enclosure ratings. That saves you a seal and the pour on each run in hazardous areas.
2) What amperage and voltage is the Appleton CPSA-2350 receptacle rated for?
20 amps at 125-250 Vac, or 18 Vdc, with a 1 hp motor rating. It is a 3-pole, 2-wire device, so it is built for the equipment listed at that rating, not for a separate equipment grounding conductor arrangement beyond that configuration. Confirm your load falls inside 20A before committing.
3) What cable diameter does the mating plug for the Appleton CPS 20A receptacle accept?
The mating plug's mechanical cable clamps take cable from .538 to .639 inch outside diameter. Those clamps meet or exceed UL strain relief pull-out requirements, which matters on portable equipment where the cord gets dragged. Measure the jacket OD of your cord before ordering the plug.
4) How does the delayed action feature on the Appleton CPS receptacle work?
You insert the plug partially, rotate the slide on the face of the receptacle, then push the plug fully home. The sequence keeps the contacts from making or breaking in a way that exposes an arc, and the energized terminals inside the receptacle are deeply recessed to prevent accidental contact. It is a two-step motion your electricians and operators need to be shown once.
5) Will the Appleton CPS receptacle hold up in a corrosive or washdown industrial area?
It is built for damp and corrosive service. The body is copper-free aluminum (4/10 of 1% maximum copper) with an epoxy powder coat finish, and the malleable iron mounting box gets a triple coat of zinc electroplate, chromate, and epoxy powder coat. Copper-free aluminum is the standard call for refinery and chemical plant atmospheres.
6) Do I have to order the mounting box separately for the Appleton CPSA-2350, and what entry options are there?
The CPS Series uses a malleable iron mounting box available in dead-end or feed-thru entries, so decide which your conduit run needs: dead-end where the circuit terminates at the receptacle, feed-thru where it continues on to the next device. Specify the entry style with the order along with the mating plug, since the plug carries the cable clamps.
7) What kind of terminal screws and connectors come on the Appleton CPS plug and receptacle?
Both the plug and the receptacle ship with captive stainless steel hex head slotted screws and pressure terminal connectors. Captive screws are the detail that matters on an overhead or offshore install, since nothing drops out of the device while you are landing conductors.
