Through-feed, two-gang design streamlines field wiring, reducing enclosure penetrations and cut-in time on crowded panels. The CFSC275-20232 seamlessly integrates with the PowerGard family for hazardous-location installations, enabling faster distribution and consistent reliability in multi-outlet configurations. Copper-free aluminum construction provides robust corrosion resistance and lighter weight, improving handling in tight spaces and minimizing weight load on support structures. This material choice supports long service life in chemical, oil, and refinery environments while aligning with sustainability goals through recyclability. Rated 20A at 250V AC, the unit supports common industrial loads while maintaining strict safety standards; the two-wire, three-pole configuration ensures correct neutral and ground connections, with a 3/4 inch trade size that matches standard conduit fittings, reducing inventory complexity. Compliance is built in with NEC/CEC standards, Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification, Class I, Division 1 ratings, and NEMA 3 and 3R protection, helping teams pass audits and meet regulatory requirements. Compatibility and support are enhanced by installation guides such as IF 1663 and Eaton literature, enabling faster procurement, QA reviews, and on-site installation with minimal downtime. The PowerGard design is proven in harsh environments, delivering reliable performance and extended service intervals for critical machinery and distribution panels.
