Eaton Specification Sheet - CGBS4017
Explosion-proof construction reduces ignition risk in hazardous locations, delivering enhanced safety and regulatory compliance for petrochemical, mining, and chemical processing facilities. Business impact: lower incident potential and minimized downtime due to compliant, rugged hardware; application: retrofit or new installation in Class I/Division 1 environments. The 1-1/4 inch NPT gland enables standardization with common conduit fittings, resulting in faster, error-free field installs and fewer modification steps at the panel, which translates to reduced labor costs and project timelines. The non-armoured cable compatibility adds flexibility for OEMs and contractors dealing with varied power cords, enabling quicker selection and procurement. Steel housing provides robust mechanical protection against impact and harsh ambient conditions, improving long-term reliability and lowering replacement frequency in demanding plants. Outer sheath range of 0.750–0.875 inches accommodates multiple cord diameters, simplifying stocking and reducing part diversity on job sites. Certifications and NEC/CEC compliance ensure alignment with regulatory requirements, minimizing audit questions and expediting approvals. This combination supports scalable deployment and a clear ROI for facilities prioritizing safety and uptime.
