Eaton CFSC250-20232-M15 PowerGard Receptacle - Hazardous

The Hazardous Location design is built into the CFSC250-20232-M15, meeting NEC/CEC requirements and ratings such as Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III. This translates to improved safety, lower incident risk, and easier regulatory audits for facilities handling flammable or combustible materials. The rugged enclosure earns compliance with NEMA 3 and 3R standards, supporting both indoor and outdoor installations. The two-wire, three-pole configuration and 1/2 inch trade size optimize wiring density while maintaining disconnect and fault-tolerance in critical power feeds. Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and removes copper-related corrosion concerns in aggressive environments. The material choice extends service life in chemical processing plants, offshore rigs, and mining sites where moisture, salt spray, and chemical exposure are common. Corrosion resistance directly translates to fewer field failures, lower maintenance costs, and less downtime during preventive maintenance windows. The enclosure design also improves heat dissipation and reduces risk of overheating in high-current applications. Through-feed and two-gang configuration simplify panel layouts and wiring discipline, enabling cleaner terminations and easier future upgrades. The 1/2 inch trade size aligns with standard conduit fittings and fittings in most industrial shops, reducing the need for special adapters. Installation time is shortened as technicians can source standardized components and complete runs with fewer field modifications. This also supports better traceability and a more reliable inventory for maintenance teams. At 20A and 250 VAC, the CFSC250-20232-M15 supports common process loads without overdesigning the system, preserving electrical efficiency and reducing cable sizes where possible. The through-feed design ensures continuous power distribution across two outlets within a single assembly, minimizing the risk of single-point failures. For control panels and motor-control centers, this receptacle offers a robust, compliant connection point. NEMA 3/3R rating provides weather resistance and protection against ingress, making the PowerGard receptacle suitable for outdoor substations, pits, and other exposed locations. The combination of solid mechanical construction and certified hazardous-location performance helps facilities meet maintenance schedules and regulatory deadlines. Overall, the CFSC250-20232-M15 is a durable, code-compliant choice that reduces lifecycle costs and supports reliable energy delivery in harsh environments.
