Internal breaker integration reduces part count and eliminates the need for a separate panel breaker in many installations. By consolidating protection at the receptacle, maintenance crews save installation time and minimize wiring errors, which translates to reduced downtime during commissioning and repairs in heavy machinery control panels. IP66 ingress protection guards against dust ingress and powerful water jets, extending service life of outdoor and washdown equipment. For plants with harsh environments, this rating reduces cleaning cycles and prevents corrosion-related failures, enabling reliable operation of motors, conveyors, and sensor networks. Configured for four-wire, three-pole service at 480 Vac, this receptacle supports safe grounding and balanced loads. The 30A rating aligns with typical industrial feeders, improving protection coordination with upstream breakers and reducing the risk of nuisance trips during startup. Brass construction resists wear and provides enduring electrical conductivity in demanding environments. With compact dimensions and a substantial 31.5 lb weight, it fits into standard Pauluhn housings and simplifies mounting in crowded panels. Designed for Pauluhn compatibility, mounting and wiring align with Eaton installation data, easing procurement and support. Availability of catalogs, installation sheets, and specification PDFs helps engineers validate compliance and accelerate procurement.

FAQs
When installing the 2474B-480, ensure a four-wire, three-pole connection rated for 30A at 480 Vac. Use compatible Pauluhn housings and follow the supplied Eaton installation instructions. Ensure IP66 sealing is maintained by proper gaskets and enclosure fitting, and verify that the location is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous per the product classification. Proper torque and grounding practices are essential for reliable operation.
Key specs include a 30A amperage rating and a 480 Vac voltage rating, four-wire, three-pole configuration, and brass construction. The IP66 ingress protection rating provides dust and water-resistance, suitable for non-hazardous locations. Dimensions are approximately 7.81 in L, 13.44 in H, and 6 in W, with a weight of about 31.5 lb. UPC is 662276378681 for documentation matching.
Yes, the IP66 rating supports use in washdown environments, and the Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification indicates suitability for non-hazardous marine and industrial settings. For saltwater exposure, ensure appropriate enclosure compatibility and corrosion considerations, and reference the Pauluhn compatibility notes to confirm installation with marine interlock assemblies when needed.
The 2474B-480 features IP66 ingress protection and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. These certifications support use in rugged industrial environments with exposure to dust and water jets, while meeting general non-hazardous site requirements. Always consult the product datasheet and installation sheets for confirmation of compliance in specific jurisdictions.
ROI is driven by reduced panel space, fewer separate protective devices, and faster installation with an integrated breaker. Maintenance benefits include fewer field wiring connections and lower downtime during replacements. Leverage the Eaton Pauluhn datasheets and installation resources to validate compatibility with existing panels, enabling smoother retrofits and predictable maintenance schedules.
