FAQs

CFSC175-20232-M15 is a through-feed, single-gang receptacle compatible with two-wire, three-pole configurations and a 3/4" trade size. It supports 20A at 250V and uses a copper-free aluminum housing, making it suitable for PowerGard family deployments in hazardous locations. The design simplifies wiring runs and minimizes enclosure alterations, accelerating reliable installations in control panels and outdoor facilities.
The CFSC175-20232-M15 carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous-location ratings including Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; and Class III, along with NEMA 3 and 3R protection. These specifications align with regulatory requirements for equipment used in hazardous environments, enabling safer operation and faster regulatory approvals for chemical plants, refineries, and mining applications.
The single-gang through-feed design reduces the number of housing penetrations and simplifies wiring routing within compact enclosures. This leads to faster installation, fewer potential miswirings, and improved reliability in harsh environments. It also aligns with common panel layouts, helping engineers plan spaces more efficiently and minimize downtime during upgrades or new builds.
Yes. The PowerGard CFSC175-20232-M15 meets Canadian certification expectations for receptacles used in hazardous locations, as evidenced by UL/Canadian certification reports associated with PowerGard devices. For engineers, this means streamlined approval processes when deploying across facilities that require compliance in North American markets, with continued support from Eaton’s documentation and installation guidelines.
Copper-free aluminum provides inherent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and prolonging service life in aggressive environments. The material also offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, easing installation and handling. In practice, this translates to lower total cost of ownership due to reduced downtime, fewer part replacements, and dependable performance in wet or chemically active hazardous locations.
