Quick Summary

PowerGard Receptacle Assembly provides rugged, hazardous-location power connections for industrial facilities requiring safe, compliant outlet solutions. Many engineers face the challenge of maintaining safety and regulatory compliance in dusty, wet, or explosive environments while meeting NEC/CEC requirements. This model carries NEC hazardous location ratings (Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III) and a NEMA 3/3R enclosure, supporting robust protection in harsh settings. By integrating copper-free aluminum construction with a two-gang, through-feed design and a 3/4" trade size, it delivers durable installation and uptime improvements. The result is lower maintenance costs and easier procurement for projects spanning chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations. This aligns with our focus on industrial electrical components and hazardous-location receptacles.

Through-feed two-wire three-pole configuration provides secure, code-compliant connections while simplifying wiring in a two-gang enclosure. This reduces installation time and minimizes miswiring risk, especially in hazardous locations where downtime is costly. Application: chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations benefit from faster field wiring and easier inspections. Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance with a lighter profile, improving worker safety during handling and enabling easier mounting in tight spaces. This material choice also supports long service life in aggressive atmospheres while helping lower lifecycle costs. Two-gang through-feed design offers space for two circuits without requiring additional back boxes. This saves cabinet space, reduces materials, and allows clean separation of critical circuits, improving maintenance workflows and inspection cycles in dense plant layouts. Key ratings and dimensions—20A at 125 Vac, 3/4 inch trade size, and a 7x10x7 inch footprint—enable standardization across fleets and align with NEC/CEC requirements. The unit’s Class I, Division 1, Class II Division 1, Class III ratings and NEMA 3/3R envelope ensure safe operation in hazardous environments while supporting compliance documentation. Support resources, including IF 1663 installation instructions, PowerGard literature, and Eaton specification sheets, help installers verify compatibility and execute installations efficiently. This translates to reduced project risk and faster time-to-value for operators needing reliable hazardous-location power solutions.

FAQs

Optimal installation requires following the manufacturer’s IF 1663 instructions and using a two-gang enclosure sized for a through-feed configuration. Verify the 3/4 inch trade size, 125 Vac rating, and two-wire, three-pole terminals. Use copper-free aluminum receptacles only in classified areas, ensure proper sealing, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous locations to avoid miswiring.
Key ratings include 20A at 125 Vac with a two-wire, three-pole configuration and through-feed design for two circuits. Certifications cover NEC/CEC standards, Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, Class III hazardous-location ratings, and a NEMA 3/3R enclosure. These specs support safe operation in hazardous areas and simplify compliance documentation.
Yes. The CFSC275-2023-M15 is designed for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 1 environments typical of chemical plants and oil/refinery settings. Its PowerGard construction, copper-free aluminum, two-gang through-feed configuration, and NEMA 3/3R rating help meet regulatory requirements and installation needs in harsh conditions.
Through-feed wiring minimizes field splices and simplifies routing in challenging installations, reducing labor time and wiring errors. The two-wire three-pole design enables efficient circuit feeding for two circuits within a single two-gang enclosure, improving uptime by speeding commissioning, facilitating testing, and enabling easier circuit isolation during maintenance in crowded electrical layouts.
Access IF 1663 installation instructions, PowerGard brochures, UL certification references, and Eaton specification sheets to verify compatibility and guide installations. Catalog pages and channeled compliance documents support standardization, reduce risk, and justify lifecycle ROI through safer operation, predictable maintenance, and streamlined procurement for hazardous-location receptacles.
