Eaton Specification Sheet - CFS175-1523
Copper-free aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance and lighter weight, reducing maintenance and enabling longer service life in aggressive environments, which translates to lower lifecycle costs for plants and facilities. This feature supports safer operation in exposed or coastal locations while meeting environmental standards and reducing weight during installation and handling. The 15A, 125V two-wire, three-pole configuration simplifies wiring, minimizes field wiring errors, and accelerates commissioning, directly cutting labor time and potential rework at the job site. The dead-end, single-gang design with a 3/4" trade size ensures compatibility with standard enclosures, enabling rapid retrofits and straightforward integration with existing PowerGard back boxes. NEMA 3 and 3R ratings provide weather and moisture resistance for outdoor, washdown, or damp indoor areas, reducing weather-related downtime. NEC/CEC compliance and UL certifications give engineering teams confidence to meet regulatory requirements while maintaining high safety margins in chemical, oil & gas, and other hazardous industries. The overall footprint—7.25 in length, 9 in height, 6.25 in width—facilitates predictable installation planning and inventory management for procurement teams while supporting dependable performance in continuous operation scenarios.
