Eaton Specification Sheet - CFSC175-1523
Through-feed, single-gang design simplifies wiring and reduces enclosure count, delivering faster installations and easier maintenance in busy industrial spaces. The 3/4 inch trade size and two-wire, three-pole configuration support standard power distribution while meeting classification requirements. This combination minimizes field assembly steps, improves reliability, and aligns with PowerGard accessory ecosystems. Electrical rating of 15A at 125 VAC provides suitability for common control and lighting circuits without oversizing equipment costs. By maintaining a tight rating, facilities can optimize wiring topology, reduce inrush concerns, and streamline panel planning in hazardous locations. Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance in harsh environments, improving longevity in chemical plants or outdoor installations. The material choice lowers total cost of ownership by reducing replacement intervals and minimizing maintenance interventions while staying within NEC/CEC material guidelines. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and explicit Class I, Division 1 ratings provides a defensible safety case for hazardous-area installations. NEMA 3 and 3R enclosures deliver weather and moisture resistance, extending service life in outdoors, damp interiors, or wash-down areas. Through-feed installation compatibility with ENP plugs and PowerGard back boxes ensures consistent plug/receptacle performance. The single-gang configuration and standard dimensions support compatible mounting in existing enclosures, reducing retrofit risk and accelerating procurement cycles.
