TORK nsi 5500 Photocontrol Shorting Cap
The TORK nsi 5500 is a turn-lock shorting cap designed for photocontrol receptacles. It closes the primary circuit to keep lighting loads on continuously. Rated at 15 A, it suits commercial and industrial fixtures that require a weatherproof bypass device. Installers use it when a photocell is removed or not needed.
Sustained 15 A circuit closure
The cap maintains a continuous 15 A connection across the receptacle contacts. It is built to carry the rated load without interruption for the life of the lighting circuit. The turn-lock mechanism secures the connection against vibration or thermal cycling. No degradation is expected under normal constant-current operation.
Weatherproof housing with no active cooling
The sealed enclosure protects the contacts from moisture and debris in outdoor installations. It operates silently because it contains no moving parts or fans. Power draw is limited to the negligible contact resistance of the shorting path. The device adds no measurable thermal load to the fixture.

Questions about this item
Does the 15 A shorting cap generate noticeable heat when it stays engaged all day?
The cap simply closes the primary circuit and has no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat during continuous operation.
What fitting must already be on the fixture for this turn-lock cap to work?
A standard twist-lock photocontrol receptacle is required; the cap locks into that socket to close the circuit.
Will the 5500 cap interfere with an older mechanical timer wired to the same circuit?
No, the cap only shorts the photocontrol contacts when inserted, leaving any separate timer circuit unaffected.
