Leviton Lev 2523 Locking Receptacle 20A 4P5W 277/480V

Product Description

The LEVITON LEV 2523 is a 4-pole, 5-wire locking receptacle rated for 20 amps at 277/480 volts on a 3-phase wye configuration. It is designed for industrial and commercial power distribution applications where secure, twist-lock connections are required to prevent accidental disconnection under load. The L2 designation indicates NEMA L22-20 series compliance, making it suitable for heavy-duty electrical installations. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in panel rooms, mechanical equipment rooms, and industrial facilities where 3-phase power feeds must be reliably terminated at a fixed outlet point.

This receptacle is used in commercial and industrial settings that require 3-phase wye power at 277/480 volts. Typical applications include powering large HVAC equipment, industrial motors, and commercial lighting systems that operate on 3-phase distribution. The 4P5W configuration accommodates three hot conductors, a neutral, and a ground, providing full wye circuit termination. It is installed as a fixed outlet in wall boxes, surface-mount enclosures, or panel-mounted locations wherever a secure twist-lock interface is specified by the system design.

Key Features

• 20-amp, 277/480-volt 3-phase wye rating for industrial-grade power distribution
• 4-pole, 5-wire (4P5W) design accommodates three hots, neutral, and ground
• Twist-lock retention mechanism prevents accidental cord disconnection under load
• L2 series locking configuration for compatibility with matching locking plugs and connectors
• Compact form factor fits standard industrial outlet boxes and surface enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation locking receptacle for 3-phase wye electrical systems requiring a 20-amp, 277/480-volt, 4-pole 5-wire twist-lock outlet interface.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 406 and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the panel before any wiring work begins. Verify the supply circuit matches the 4P5W 3-phase wye configuration and that the conductor ampacity is rated for 20 amps minimum. Do not exceed the receptacle voltage or amperage ratings.
