Type W Pigtails

Description:

Type W pigtails are short, flexible power cables made from Type W cable designed to connect industrial equipment and machinery to power sources. They feature a heavy-duty single-conductor or multi-conductor Type W cable, typically equipped with connectors such as cam-locks, pin-and-sleeve, or locking connectors, to provide a secure and reliable power connection. Known for their durability and high current capacity, Type W pigtails are widely used in industrial and outdoor applications where they are essential for ruggedness, safety, and flexibility.

Applications of Type W Pigtails

Construction Sites:

Used to connect heavy-duty tools, compressors, welders, and other construction equipment to temporary power sources. Their flexibility and durability make them ideal for rugged construction environments.

Mining Operations:

Type W pigtails are commonly used in underground and surface mining to connect high-power equipment such as drills, pumps, and conveyor systems, ensuring safe and reliable power in harsh conditions.

Industrial Manufacturing:

In factories, Type W pigtails are used to power industrial machinery, such as motors, conveyors, and welding equipment, providing a secure and efficient connection to electrical sources.

Entertainment and Events:

Type W pigtails are used for temporary power distribution in outdoor events, concerts, and festivals, supplying power to sound systems, lighting, and other equipment.

Oil and Gas Sector:

In oil and gas facilities, Type W pigtails connect power to equipment used in drilling, refining, and processing operations, where oil resistance and durability are essential.

Portable and Backup Generators:

Type W pigtails are often used with portable or standby generators to provide flexible, high-current connections to distribution panels or equipment during power outages.

Marinas and Docks:

Used in marine environments to connect shore power to boats and vessels, Type W pigtails provide a reliable, water-resistant connection, ensuring safe power distribution near water.

Welding Applications:

Type W pigtails connect welders to power sources in welding operations, providing high current capacity and flexibility for welding applications in industrial and field settings.
