Industrial Locking Receptacle

The Hubbell CS8169 is a 50 A 480 V locking receptacle built for industrial power connections. Its Twist-Lock design and thermoset construction resist heat and impact in harsh environments. One-piece contacts maintain low operating temperatures during continuous use. The black nylon housing provides durability for demanding installations.

Suited For Three-Phase Equipment

This receptacle suits facilities running 50 A 480 V three-phase machinery that require secure, vibration-resistant connections. It is not for buyers needing NEMA-standard pin configurations or lower-amperage residential outlets. Installations requiring different voltage ratings or plug types should look elsewhere. The non-NEMA layout limits interchangeability with common industrial plugs.

50 A 480 V Rating Decides Fit

The 50 A 480 V rating is the single specification that determines whether this receptacle matches your system. Verify your equipment nameplate shows exactly 50 A at 480 V three-phase before purchasing. Mismatched amperage or voltage creates safety hazards and code violations. The CS8169 model number confirms the exact locking configuration required.

Questions about this item

What does the 50 A rating mean when the receptacle is installed in a three-phase circuit?

The 50 A rating indicates the maximum continuous current each phase conductor can carry when the device is wired into a three-phase system.

How does the non-NEMA locking interface affect what plugs can be used with this 480 V receptacle?

The non-NEMA locking interface only accepts matching Hubbell Twist-Lock plugs with the same blade configuration, preventing connection to standard NEMA devices.

What mounting provisions does the CS8169 receptacle have for installation in an enclosure or panel?

The receptacle uses a standard flange mount with screw holes that align with common industrial box patterns for secure panel installation.
