Eaton Specification Sheet - CFS275-1523
Hazardous location readiness drives business value by enabling compliant installations in Class I Division 1 environments, reducing ignition risk and downtime. The powerGard receptacle assembly is engineered to meet NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3/3R enclosures, ensuring reliable operation in harsh plants such as chemical processing or oil and gas facilities. The copper-free aluminum construction lowers weight and improves corrosion resistance, translating to easier handling during installation and longer service life in damp or corrosive environments. A two-gang, dead-end configuration streamlines wiring, enables quicker field terminations, and minimizes back-box congestion, which shortens project timelines and lowers labor costs. With a 15A, 125Vac rating, the unit suits common plant circuits, improving compatibility with existing equipment while reducing the need for adapters or custom wiring. UL certifications and PowerGard compatibility with locking plugs provide confidence in safety and performance, supporting preventive maintenance programs and regulatory audits. The design also supports rapid replacement and reduces spare-part diversity, enhancing overall maintenance efficiency in hazardous-location programs.
