Original Press Release:



Brad Power(TM) Connection Systems Provide Flexible Solutions to NFPA-79-2002



Woodhead announces the release of Brad Power connection systems for power distribution. Recent changes to NFPA 79-2002 allow the use of factory applied connectors molded onto cables for line voltage, communications and low-voltage industrial machinery applications. Brad Power products are modular, flexible, scaleable and code-compliant quick-connect wiring solutions that offer lower installed cost and faster commissioning of industrial machinery.

Flexibility and low cost is achieved by eliminating the need for conduit to run power to industrial machinery. Using Brad Power dual rated STOOW and TC/Open Wiring rated quick-connect cordsets allow a trunk/feeder line to be installed along the machine's structure with convenient access points for power to be dropped to field devices such as motors, lights, heaters and other electrical devices. Brad Power systems meet UL direct support requirements that enable code-compliant installations and offer a full family of Trunk/Feeder Cordsets, Drop/Branch Cordsets, Receptacles, Tees and Reducing Adapters. Brad Power systems offer quick and easy installations without the tools, threading, pipe bending and wire pulling involved in installing conduit.

Brad Power products are pre-wired connectors designed for harsh demanding industrial environments and feature an over-molded connector head that provide industrial ratings of NEMA 6P and IP67. Using Brad Power connections systems help eliminate the concern and downtime associated with mis-wiring and are UL 1977 recognized.
