MELTRIC manufactures safe, reliable UL/CSA switch-rated plugs and receptacles with DECONTACTOR™ technology and push-button circuit disconnection. These all-in-one devices combine the safety and functionality of a disconnect switch with the convenience of a plug and receptacle. MELTRIC’s company history connects to Gilles Marechal, who, after witnessing a horrible industrial electrical accident in the 1950s, set out to create a safer electrical alternative to pin and sleeve devices. After years of research and development, Mr. Marechal designed and manufactured the first switch-rated plugs and receptacles. Today, Marechal Electric, based in France, is a world leader in switch-rated plug and receptacle manufacturing. While Mr. Marechal’s original device design has undergone engineering and design enhancements since the 1950s, his original switch-rated plug and receptacle is still one of the safest, most innovative products in the history of electrical manufacturing. MELTRIC, based in Franklin, Wisconsin, is the U.S. manufacturing arm of Marechal Electric. We proudly continue the Marechal legacy of electrical safety and ingenuity with the switch-rated plugs and receptacles we manufacture today. As a safety leader in the U.S. electrical manufacturing marketplace for more than 35 years, MELTRIC designs and builds quality electrical connections that emphasize electrical and user safety. MELTRIC’s data package includes more than 90 product offerings, including switch-rated plugs and receptacles ranging from 20-60A with ½-20 horsepower ratings, Type 4X/IP69 environmental ratings, and optional auxiliary/pilot contacts. MELTRIC products lead the field with innovative designs and safety features. MELTRIC switch-rated plugs and receptacles have push-button deenergization for fast, safe electrical disconnection, and are engineered to safely make and break under full load. MELTRIC switch-rated devices include a safety shutter and enclosed arc chamber that eliminate exposure to electricity and electrical arcs. Switch-rated plugs and receptacles also feature TYPE 4X/IP69 environmental ratings for watertightness, making them safe even in wet conditions. Built-in provisions for lockout/tagout make MELTRIC devices NFPA 70E compliant; MELTRIC switch-rated plugs and receptacles are also NEC and CSA “line of sight” compliant.
