They are an NEC approved line-of-sight disconnects and are UL approved for branch circuit and motor circuit disconnect switching up to 200 A or 60 hp. Decontactors are also UL-rated to make and withstand short circuits up to 100 kA. Integral switching capability ensures that the contacts are always de-energized before the plug can be withdrawn from the receptacle. Once the plug is removed, the receptacle’s safety shutter further ensures worker safety by preventing unintentional access to live parts to all but the correct mating plug.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
