Eaton CFS175-20232-M15 PowerGard Receptacle Assembly - Hazardous/Classified Locations

Copper-free aluminum housing provides robust corrosion resistance without sacrificing strength, delivering extended service life in chemical and dusty environments and reducing long-term replacement costs. The 20A, 250V AC rating supports reliable control and power distribution for hazardous-location equipment, enabling engineers to design safer, code-compliant systems while minimizing wire size and conduit runs. The two-wire, three-pole configuration with a dead-end style offers a simple, safe termination method, cutting installation time and improving field reliability in demanding plants. A single-gang footprint and 3/4" trade size ensure compatibility with standard back boxes, reducing retrofit complexity and inventory needs for installers. NEMA 3 and 3R ratings provide durable indoor/outdoor performance, while NEC/CEC standards alignment simplifies compliance audits and procurement. The PowerGard line also benefits from UL certifications that acknowledge compatibility with other PowerGard components and back boxes, streamlining system integration across hazardous locations. This model’s compact dimensions (7.25 in L x 9 in H x 6.25 in W) help fit tighter enclosures, improving overall panel density and reducing enclosure costs. In practice, installers report quicker finger-tightening and better live-safety margins thanks to the proven locking-mechanism design and standardized mounting pattern, which reduces field re-work and warranty calls. overall, these design attributes translate to lower total cost of ownership while preserving system integrity in explosive atmospheres.
