Eaton CFSC250-2023-M15 Receptacle Assembly - Hazardous

Copper-free aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance in harsh environments and lighter weight for easier handling. This reduces installation labor, minimizes enclosure corrosion risk, and lowers lifecycle costs in explosive or chemically aggressive settings. The material choice also supports long-term durability for outdoor, offshore, and mining installations where frequent access is required. Through-feed configuration with two-wire, three-pole operation simplifies wiring by routing conductors through the housing without extra adapters. Fewer splice points translate to reduced fault potential and faster commissioning in control panels or power distribution enclosures in hazardous areas. Industry teams gain predictable performance and easier maintenance schedules during plant uptime. Two-gang, 1/2 inch trade size fits standard conduit entries and allows compact layouts in crowded electrical rooms. This sizing enables quick integration with existing distribution hardware and reduces panel footprint, delivering tangible space and cost savings on new builds and retrofits in hazardous locations. 125 Vac, 20A rating covers most common industrial loads, including lighting and small motors, with a comfortable safety margin for safety devices. The through-feed, two-wire design minimizes device counts and simplifies stocking, lowering total cost of ownership for maintenance teams and EPC contractors. Certifications and compliance are front and center: NEC/CEC hazardous location ratings (Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III) and NEMA 3 and 3R ratings ensure code adherence and environmental protection. Area classification for hazardous/classified locations further supports safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites. Installation support and documentation from Eaton, including IF 1663 instruction sheets and current specification sheets, streamline field deployment and training. Real-world feedback from harsh-site installations confirms reduced downtime and faster, compliant upgrades to aging power distribution in hazardous environments.
