The New Macey 60 Amp Dust Plug is manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic and is designed to protect exposed receptacles when not in use. Lightweight yet durable, ABS provides strong impact resistance while maintaining flexibility, making it ideal for underground mining environments.

Training operators to cap off electrical outlets when equipment is disconnected is a simple but critical discipline. In underground conditions, moisture, dust and dirt can quickly contaminate receptacle interiors. Over time, this contamination affects electrical performance, particularly on silver-plated copper contacts where corrosion and debris can increase resistance and cause overheating or poor connection.

By consistently using dust plugs, sites preserve the integrity of their electrical connections, extend component life and reduce avoidable maintenance costs. The plug is designed for quick attachment and is securely retained by the jacking screw mechanism, ensuring it remains in place even in mobile or vibration-prone applications.
