Eaton CFSC275-1523 PowerGard Receptacle - Hazardous

Hazardous location certification and NEMA ratings are built into the CFSC275-1523, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhanced worker safety in demanding environments. The business impact is a reduction in commissioning lead times and a lower risk of non-compliance penalties, making this receptacle ideal for chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites that require robust protection and reliable performance. Application-wise, the two-wire, three-pole configuration supports standard equipment without custom wiring, enabling faster panel integration and easier spare-part planning. Copper-free aluminum reduces weight and improves corrosion resistance, lowering long-term maintenance costs and mitigating environmental exposure in outdoor or damp locations. With 7 in length and 10 in height in a two-gang, through-feed form factor, installation fits compact spaces while delivering durable, explosion-protected connectivity. This design also improves thermal performance and minimizes enclosure footprint in crowded control panels. Long-term reliability is reinforced by NEC/CEC compliance, NEMA 3 and 3R protection, and access to Eaton documentation such as IF 1663 and the CFSC275-1523 specification sheet, which supports installation accuracy and proactive maintenance planning. Overall, this receptacle aligns with industry best practices for hazardous-location electrical connectors, offering a practical path to safer, compliant operations.
