Appleton ARC20034CDRS Reverse Service Generator Connector

Appleton ARC20034CDRS Reverse Service Generator Connector is a Powertite‑rated, 200 Amp, 600 V pin‑and‑sleeve connector designed for backfeeding power from a generator to a building. It uses a four‑pole, three‑wire (4P3W) configuration with Style 2 shell grounding and reverse‑service capability, a common arrangement in generator applications. Rated for 50–400 Hz operation and compatible with conductor sizes from 2/0 AWG to 250 MCM, this connector body integrates with standard Powertite plug/receptacle systems for secure mating. In use, it powers portable or fixed equipment such as motor generators, welders, pumps, and compressors in industrial settings where rugged construction and weather resistance are desirable. The ARC20034CDRS is part of Appleton's Powertite family and leverages reverse‑service design to facilitate safe backfeed connections between a generator and a facility's electrical system. Typical ship‑to‑shore or dockside installations commonly employ this wiring arrangement to provide a dedicated generator inlet for outages or maintenance, meeting industrial power‑backup configurations.
