FAQs
The 2723PL is designed for surface-mount installation with a compact footprint (2.75 in deep, 4.5 in high, 2.38 in wide). Align the mounting holes to the panel cutout, secure with screws, and connect line and load conductors per the panel’s wiring diagram. Ensure the enclosure is non-hazardous as specified, and verify that the housing remains non-metallic to preserve insulation and clearance margins.
The device is rated for 20A at 277 VAC, suitable for standard industrial control circuits. It features a two-pole configuration and is housed in non-metallic material designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. These ratings support typical motor control and on/off applications in manufacturing environments, with straightforward wiring and minimal arc suppression requirements in compliant panels.
Yes. The 2723PL is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial settings where there is no exposure to hazardous atmospheres. Its non-metallic housing, surface-mount design, and Pauluhn lineage provide reliable operation while simplifying procurement and maintenance in everyday automation applications.
The product specifies Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location area classification, indicating suitability for typical industrial environments. While other certifications aren’t listed in the provided data, ensure your installation complies with local electrical codes and your internal safety standards when integrating the 2723PL into control panels.
Because the 2723PL leverages a durable Pauluhn design and a non-metallic housing, maintenance intervals are typically longer, reducing replacement frequency. The 20A/277 VAC rating supports broad compatibility with existing equipment, lowering spare parts inventory. Installation simplicity and standardized dimensions also shorten retrofits and upgrades, delivering faster time-to-value in automation projects.
