K802D - Lincoln Electric K802D Power Plug Assortment Kit (115V/230V)

Industrial Power Connection Solutions

The Lincoln Electric K802D Power Plug Kit is a specialized accessory package designed to support the electrical maintenance and setup of welding equipment and industrial machinery. This kit addresses the common need for reliable, high-amperage power connections in shop environments where both 115V and 230V power sources are utilized. The package contains a total of four plugs, split evenly between two distinct NEMA configurations, allowing technicians and fabricators to adapt their equipment power cords to available receptacles or replace damaged connectors with OEM-quality parts.

Technical Specifications and NEMA Standards

The kit includes two plugs conforming to the NEMA 5-20 standard. These are rated for 115V (often nominalized as 120V) and capable of handling up to 20 Amps. The NEMA 5-20 configuration features a vertical blade and a T-shaped neutral blade, ensuring compatibility with 20A receptacles while preventing insertion into lower-rated 15A outlets. Additionally, the kit provides two plugs conforming to the NEMA 6-15 standard. These are rated for 230V (nominal 240V) at 15 Amps, featuring two horizontal blades and a ground pin. This configuration is essential for operating equipment that requires higher voltage input but remains within the 15A current limit.

Application and Durability

Constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial use, these plugs feature durable housings that resist impact and abrasion common in welding zones. The internal screw terminals ensure a tight, low-resistance electrical connection, which is critical for maintaining stable arc characteristics in welding power sources. This kit is an excellent inventory item for maintenance departments, ensuring that the correct plug is immediately available when a power cord end is severed, crushed, or when equipment needs to be re-terminated for a different voltage outlet.
