Powersafe SLD0020 Line Drain 800A 240mm2 Crimp 22-32mm Blue Line 3 IP67

Description

Blue Line 3 drain with 800A capacity.

The Powersafe SLD0020 closes out the three phases of an 800A Powerlock-compatible connector set. It is the blue Line 3 drain, with a crimp contact that terminates 240mm² copper cable permanently for demanding high-current leads.

Completing the Three Phase Set

Designed around the contact
Powersafe's higher ratings start with its contact band. Twenty-nine transfer bridges, 30A each, give 870A of capacity in a single contact and support an 800A maximum continuous rating. Phase 3 allocates its 800A connectors to 240mm² and 300mm² cable, and notes the working figure varies with cable choice and environmental factors.

Blue does not mean neutral here
In this colour scheme blue marks Line 3, and the keying enforces it: the SLD0020 will not enter a neutral, earth or other phase connector, only a Powersafe L3 source in line or panel form. A secondary lock secures the mated pair and releases solely with the release key, so the phase cannot drop out under load. Unplugged, the drain is normally the unpowered side.

Termination summary

• 43mm of exposed conductor is required
• Hexagonal ME 48 die in a hydraulic crimping tool such as the HT 131-C or B 131-C
• Three equidistant crimps on the contact
• 11 Nm on the gland body and dome nut

For use with copper conductors only. Installation, inspection and servicing are jobs for a licensed electrician applying Australian wiring rules; tensile test the crimp before use.

Q: What does blue mean on the Powersafe SLD0020?
A: Blue identifies Line 3 on this connector. It is keyed to L3 and cannot be mated with a neutral or earth connector.

Q: What cable and gland size is the SLD0020 made for?
A: 240mm² copper cable on a crimp contact, with an M40B gland that suits an overall cable diameter of 22–32mm.

Q: Is the SLD0020 interchangeable with ITT or VEAM Powerlock parts?
A: The manufacturer describes Powersafe as fully compatible with Litton VEAM, ITT Cannon and 400A and 660A Powerlock connectors, among others. Match the L3 key position on the mating half.
