Wieland Female Cable Harness 8 ft | 347V L24-20P Locking Plug

What the Wieland Female Cable Harness Connects

The cord runs 8 ft, from a Wieland RST connector at one end to a twist-lock plug at the other. Conductor gauge is 18AWG and the jacket is black. Wieland's RST system is the German-made connector family that lighting makers build onto the fixture housing itself. That is what turns the fixture end into a connection made by hand. The plug follows the NEMA L24 pattern, a two-pole, three-wire grounding device rated for 347 volt service at 20 amps. Line, neutral and ground each land on their own pin. The body twists and locks, so the connection carries its own cord weight without help. L24 is the pattern used where a building is fed at 480 volt three-phase and each branch sees 347 volts to neutral. That is commercial and industrial service rather than the 120 volt and 240 volt feeds a small room runs on. The harness is part BAFLTEXT3, with UPC 638104023894 and GTIN-14 10638104023891. Shipping weight is 0.93 lb, and the packed harness measures 8.3 by 4.0 by 1.6 in. The part carries a UL registration.

Running a 347V Locking Plug Down a Light Row

A 347V locking plug is useful once the receptacle on the wall matches the pattern. Confirm what the panel actually delivers before the harness arrives, because the plug pattern is fixed at the factory. An electrician reading 347 volts to neutral on a branch circuit is reading the service this plug was cut for. Rows get wired one fixture at a time from there. The Wieland end clicks onto the fixture and the plug end goes into the receptacle. After that the cord between them is the only part anybody handles again. Eight feet of cord reaches from a fixture down to a receptacle at bench height, or up to a track above it. Leave the slack as a loose loop rather than pulling the cord tight across a hanger. A cord held under tension works the strain relief every time the fixture gets raised. Keep the connector clear of overhead drip lines and irrigation runs. Coil the harness loosely when a fixture comes down. Tight coils set a memory into an 18 gauge jacket, and a cord that hangs crooked fights the hanger every time it goes back up. Label both ends where a building carries more than one service voltage. The plug pattern is what tells two harnesses apart once they are up in the ceiling.

Key Features
