Feature: 20A amperage rating with a 277 Vac operating voltage is a core specification that supports typical control loads while preserving wiring efficiency. Business impact: reduces the need for oversized components and minimizes fuse sizes, cutting overall project costs. Application: ideal for industrial control panels, motor controllers, and conveyor system panels in non-hazardous environments. Feature: One three-way switch in a single unit simplifies wiring topologies and reduces harness length. Business impact: lowers installation time, wiring complexity, and potential miswiring. Application: multi-point control for process lines, fans, and start/stop circuits in machine rooms and manufacturing floors. Feature: Non-metallic housing with surface mounting enhances corrosion resistance and eases installation in tight spaces. Business impact: safer interior mounting and longer service life in ordinary-location enclosures. Application: interior panels and non-metallic cabinets where quick field replacement is important. Feature: Pauluhn interior toggle mechanism delivers robust actuation with predictable life cycles. Business impact: lowers maintenance needs and extends mean time between failures. Application: frequent toggle use in packaging lines,هي automated assembly, and material handling equipment. Feature: Compact footprint—2.75 in depth, 4.5 in height, 2.38 in width, 0.8 lb weight—facilitates retrofit and new-build installations. Business impact: maximizes panel density and simplifies retrofits in constrained spaces. Application: modernization projects and space-constrained control cabinets. Feature: Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations provides guidance for safe operation. Business impact: supports compliant selection for safe zones and reduces risk in routine industrial environments. Application: commercial and light industrial control panels and non-hazardous installations.

FAQs

The 2724PL is designed for surface mounting, featuring a non-metallic housing and compact footprint that fits into tight interior panels. It accepts standard wiring practices, simplifying installation in non-metallic enclosures and control cabinets. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects and new panel builds where surface-mounted toggles are preferred for quick wiring and clear visibility.
The switch provides a 20A amperage rating with a 277 Vac voltage rating, intended for ordinary locations. It is a single unit with one three-way switch configuration, suitable for typical control circuits in non-hazardous environments. For critical applications, verify that the load characteristics stay within the 20A/277 Vac limits and follow standard NEC wiring practices.
Yes, the 2724PL supports ordinary/non-hazardous locations as indicated by its area classification. When selecting enclosures, choose non-metallic or compatible interior panels that accommodate surface-mounted components and provide proper protection against dust and incidental moisture. Always confirm installation in accordance with local codes and the Eaton datasheet for any project-specific requirements.
Eaton provides multiple resources including the Pauluhn Interior Toggle Switch catalog page, installation sheets (IF LBL 1557 for 27/27B receptacles and switches), and a dedicated specification sheet for the 2724PL. These documents guide wiring, mounting, and compliance considerations to streamline procurement and installation in industrial environments.
The 2724PL’s rugged Pauluhn interior toggle mechanism, non-metallic housing, and straightforward surface-mount installation contribute to longer service intervals and reduced field maintenance. By lowering wiring complexity and panel footprint, it can shorten commissioning time and minimize retrofit labor, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in routine manufacturing and packaging lines.
