Quick Summary
PowerGard receptacle assembly provides rugged, ready-to-install electrical connections for hazardous locations in industrial facilities. Maintenance teams often struggle with safety, reliability, and regulatory risk when wiring in harsh environments. To address this, the CFS150-2023-M15 carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III ratings, and a NEMA 3/3R enclosure for resilient protection. With copper-free aluminum construction, a 1/2-inch trade size, and a single-gang, dead-end form factor, it simplifies installation in tight spaces and supports fast commissioning. That combination translates to lower maintenance costs, safer operations, and easier procurement for project teams handling hazardous-area power distribution.

Eaton Specification Sheet - CFS150-2023-M15
Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and enhances corrosion resistance, translating to easier handling during installation and longer service life in harsh environments. The material also supports copper-free requirements in certain industrial codes, backing safer maintenance and procurement. In hazardous locations, this enclosure avoids conductive copper exposure while maintaining mechanical strength and thermal management. Feature 20A, 125 VAC two-wire, three-pole configuration delivers the needed control-supply power with minimal wiring complexity. The 1/2 inch trade size aligns with standard conduit fittings and supports compact layouts in single-gang enclosures. This combination speeds panel commissioning and reduces field cabling costs. Feature single-gang, dead-end style supports compact installations in control panels, junction boxes, or hazardous-area outlets. The dead-end configuration lowers risk of accidental disconnection and simplifies future maintenance. Feature NEC/CEC compliance and hazard ratings—Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III—paired with a NEMA 3/3R enclosure, delivers regulatory assurance and weather protection. These certifications help avoid project delays and rework during audits in oil, gas, mining, and chemical processing environments. Installation resources and compatibility notes—IF 1663 instructions, PowerGard literature, and catalog pages—support quick, correct deployments. The receptacle is designed for compatibility with common Eaton PowerGard accessories and installation practices, enabling standardization across sites. Practical insights from field use show lower maintenance frequencies and faster fault diagnostics in recurring hazardous-location deployments.

FAQs
For safe, code-compliant installation in hazardous areas, use the IF 1663 instructions and follow NEC/CEC guidelines. Mount the single-gang, dead-end receptacle in a suitable enclosure, verify proper sealing and grounding, and connect the two-wire, three-pole configuration with the 1/2 inch trade size. Ensure downstream devices are compatible with 125 VAC and 20A ratings.
Yes. The CFS150-2023-M15 carries NEC hazardous ratings for Class I, Division 1 (and Class II/III as applicable) and is designed for use in hazardous locations. It also aligns with CEC requirements and carries a NEMA 3/3R enclosure rating, providing robust protection against dust, moisture, and arc threats in challenging sites.
The unit is a 20A, 125 VAC two-wire, three-pole receptacle with a 1/2 inch trade size. It uses copper-free aluminum housing, is single-gang and dead-end in style, and is designed for quick wiring within hazardous-location power distributions in industrial facilities.
Yes. It features a NEMA 3/3R enclosure rating, suitable for weather exposure and outdoor or harsh indoor environments. This, combined with the UL-listed NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings, ensures reliable operation and regulatory alignment across oil, gas, mining, and chemical processing applications.
The copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and corrosion risk, lowering installation effort and maintenance costs. Quick commissioning is supported by standard configurations and installation literature, while regulatory compliance minimizes audit delays. Overall, this translates to safer operations, faster site readiness, and predictable lifecycle costs for hazardous-location power distribution.
