Feature: 200A amperage rating supports direct feeder terminations and reduces the need for parallel conductors, simplifying panel design and improving fault isolation. This reduces component count and shorter wiring runs translate to lower labor costs and faster commissioning in high-volume assemblies. Application: Ideal for industrial control panels and switchgear terminations where reliable, high-current performance is essential. Feature: Cast aluminum construction delivers robust mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business impact: Longer service life under moisture, dust, and temperature cycling reduces maintenance frequency and replacement parts. Application: Suitable for factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and non-hazardous areas where durable enclosures protect critical wiring. Feature: One hub back box design with a 2 inch trade size streamlines wiring access and hub connectivity. Business impact: Clear cable routing and easier field modifications minimize installation errors and rework. Application: Works with Eaton Crouse-Hinds receptacles and Arktite back-box configurations to fit common control panel layouts. Feature: Precise external dimensions—8 in length, 9.88 in width, and 10.75 in height—facilitate predictable fit in standard enclosures. Business impact: Predictable footprint improves gasket sealing, mounting alignment, and inventory planning across multiple projects. Application: Fits mid-sized 2" trade-size circuits in industrial facilities requiring organized, compliant installations. Feature: Area classification Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations provides a defined risk category for typical factory environments. Business impact: Clear compliance pathway helps avoid unnecessary explosion-proof investments while maintaining safety and reliability. Application: Suitable for non-hazardous process areas, packaging lines, and general manufacturing environments. Feature: UPC 782274016009 supports traceability and QA during procurement and warranty administration. Business impact: Simplified inventory management and faster parts ordering streamline maintenance planning and asset tagging. Application: Useful for procurement catalogs, ERP tagging, and field service reports.
