NEMA Shorting & Open Circuit Caps

Shorting & Open Circuit caps for NEMA sockets

Product Description

Prepare for future photocell and sensor connections with the NEMA shorting or open circuit caps, providing the option to open or close the primary electrical circuit, protecting the NEMA twist lock receptacles on an outdoor luminaire for discrete or network lighting.

A Shorting Cap is used to replace a NEMA socket photocell when continuity between Li and Lo is required e.g. for testing or to allowing permanent power connection for 24/7 operation, while preserving ingress protection* when a a Photocell or central management system is not installed. The lantern will then continue to be controlled by group switching or via the ripple until such a time that you wish to replace it with a photocell or CMS node as an alternative switching method.

A open circuit cap is used to disconnect the service for situations when a luminaire is installed with power but illumination is not desired until project completion.

Both the Shorting Cap and Open Circuit Cap provide a safe, convenient and economical method to open or close the primary circuit path as you require.

*protecting luminaires with a rating up to and including IP65

 

Benefits

Permanent power connection and protection: The NEMA Shorting Cap provides permanent power connection and protection for luminaires with NEMA sockets. Designed to protect lanterns in preparation for NEMA photocells, it provides Lin/Lout continually and maintains the luminaires IP rating.

Smart City Ready: The NEMA Dummy Link can also be used on street lighting lanterns in preparation for NEMA smart city nodes/sensors. It provides Lin/Lout continually and maintains the luminaires IP rating.

Futureproof: Smart City upgrades are made simpler for photocell and node/sensor compatibility with both 3-pin  (ANSI C136.10) and 5/7 pin (ANSI C136.41) NEMA socket options.
