Larson Electronics LLC Releases Explosion Proof Extension Cord with 20 Amp Plug and Receptacle

KEMP, Texas, April 21, 2018 -- Industrial lighting expert, Larson Electronics LLC, released a 4-pole 2-wire explosion proof extension cord that allows operators to extend the range of their explosion proof lights and equipment cords. This 100-foot 12/4 SOOW cord features a T-style plug and comes in 125V or 1250V configuration, ideal for use in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, wet location and other industrial worksites.

The Larson Electronics EPEXC-100-12.4-20A 100' Explosion Proof extension cord allows operators to safely extend the range of their explosion proof light or equipment cords beyond the boundaries of the hazardous work area. The Larson Electronics EPEXC-100-12.4-20A 100' Explosion Proof extension cord allows operators to safely extend the range of their explosion proof light or equipment cords beyond the boundaries of the hazardous work area.

The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A is a 100-foot explosion proof 12/4 SOOW extension cord. This 20-amp rated, chemical and abrasion resistant cord comes with an explosion proof 20-amp receptacle on one end and a 20-amp explosion proof plug on the other. The extension cord uses a T-style plug that works with both explosion and non-explosion proof standard receptacles and plugs, except for 120V wall outlets. These plugs and receptacles are cross-interchangeable with some Crouse Hind™ part# ENP5201 and Hubble-Killark part# UGP-20231 ACCEPTOR® plugs and receptacles, meaning any equipment with these plugs should function correctly with the EPEXC-100-12.4-20A cord.

The included plugs are twist-lock models that require operators to insert the plug and twist until it locks in place, thus enhancing working connection and ensuring a safe seal to avoid electrical sparks. The receptacle contacts are deep recessed which decreases the chances of accidental contact. These receptacles also accept NEMA 5-20R or 6-20R compatible non-explosion proof plugs for non-hazardous worksites. The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A extension cord is offered in a 125V or 250V configuration and is constructed of copper-free aluminum with an epoxy powder coat.

“The EPEXC-100-12.4-20A allows operators to safely extend the reach of their lighting and other electrical equipment in explosive environments, as well as non-hazardous locations,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The use of T-style plugs allows the extension cord to be used in non-explosive environments if desired, and both the plug and receptacle are interchangeable with other company models making this cord much more versatile.”
