Middle Atlantic DBL Duplex KIT W/20A Rcpt - WPACR-3G

Middle Atlantic WPACR-3G DBL Duplex Kit with 20A Receptacle

Overview

The Middle Atlantic WPACR-3G is a double duplex receptacle kit designed to add 20A AC outlet capacity inside a rack or enclosure. The WPACR-3G addresses the common integration problem of needing local AC power for devices mounted in a rack without routing extension cords or adding a separate power strip that consumes a rack unit. It belongs to Middle Atlantic's rack power accessory line and is intended for equipment rooms, telecom closets, and AV/security rack builds where a clean, permanent AC tap is preferable to ad-hoc solutions.

Compatibility

The WPACR-3G is designed for use with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and cabinets that support gangable receptacle mounting — specifically wall, floor-standing, and relay rack frames in the Middle Atlantic WRK, ERK, and similar series that include a vertical power accessory channel or pre-punched knockout panel. Verify your enclosure accepts the double-gang form factor before ordering. The 20A receptacle requires a 20A-rated circuit; standard 15A branch circuits are not compatible with the 20A plug configuration, so confirm your facility wiring before installation. This kit complements rack power management solutions where you need local convenience outlets without consuming a full PDU unit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed electrician where local code mandates it — 20A receptacles terminate on branch circuits that typically fall under NEC Article 210 jurisdiction. Confirm the enclosure knockout or mounting channel matches the double-gang plate dimensions of the WPACR-3G before mounting. Torque terminal screws to the receptacle manufacturer's specified value (typically 20 in-lb for 20A devices) to ensure reliable contact under load. A cable management plan inside the enclosure is recommended when adding local AC outlets to prevent cord congestion around active equipment.
