Copper-free aluminum housing provides superior corrosion resistance and lighter weight, significantly easing handling during panel installation and field service. This material choice reduces lifecycle maintenance costs by resisting rust in dusty, humid, or salty industrial environments, and it helps prevent finish degradation that can compromise enclosure integrity. Application: Ordinary-location industrial panels across manufacturing, packaging, and distribution environments where dependable serviceability and reduced service downtime are essential. Feature: A 20A, 277 Vac rating reliably switches standard motors, contactors, and control circuits without oversized protection. This capability allows leaner panel designs, reduces the number of protective devices, and simplifies wiring, contributing to shorter installation schedules and lower material costs. Application: General-purpose control panels, lighting circuits, automation lines, and conveyors across diverse facilities. Feature: Two-pole configuration with surface mounting minimizes panel footprint and streamlines wiring harness routing in tight enclosures. The rugged mounting supports vibration resistance and safer field service, reducing risk during maintenance activities. Application: Retrofit or new-build panels in machine centers, conveyors, and process equipment where space is critical. Feature: Pauluhn 27S family compatibility ensures straightforward cross-referencing with existing Pauluhn interior toggles and related accessories. This compatibility reduces procurement risk, lowers inventory complexity, and minimizes downtime when upgrading older installations to current Eaton components. Application: Facilities standardizing on Eaton Crouse-Hinds Pauluhn products for scalable panel modernization across lines. Feature: Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations informs safe operation without requiring explosion-proof enclosures. This simplifies compliance reviews, speeds site approvals, and supports reliable performance in general industrial spaces. Application: Factory floors, warehouses, and service centers where non-hazardous operation aligns with established safety programs. Feature: Compact dimensions and a surface-mount form factor enable efficient panel packing and easy mounting. The 0.8 lb weight aids handling during installation and reduces shipping costs for large deployments. Application: Panels needing reliable, compact, two-pole switching for automation and control in space-constrained environments.
