Eaton CPS152 101 Receptacle Assembly - Explosionproof

Explosionproof construction with a copper-free aluminum housing and brass contacts enhances operator safety and enclosure integrity in hazardous locations. This design translates into lower ignition risk, improved fault tolerance, and easier regulatory compliance, reducing the probability of unplanned downtime. It is well-suited for Class I Division 1 environments in chemical plants, oil refineries, and other high-risk facilities where reliable connectors power critical automation. Factory-sealed construction and a rugged dead-end-style back box minimize ingress of dust, water, and corrosive vapors, extending component life and reducing maintenance cycles. The result is lower maintenance costs and fewer field service visits, even in washdown-heavy environments. For OEMs and integrators, this translates into flatter maintenance budgets and fewer unexpected outages. High-current compatibility and flexible voltage ratings enable broad application across motors, sensors, and controls. The CPS152 101 supports 20 A at 125-250 Vac or 18 Vdc, with 60 Hz operation and a 1 HP horsepower rating, enabling direct control of typical automation devices without additional adapters. This simplifies panel design, reduces wiring complexity, and improves overall system efficiency in industrial automation. Style 2 grounding and a dead-end back box simplify grounding and termination in compact, single-gang footprints. The 1/2 inch trade size aligns with standard conduit fittings, speeding installation and reducing miswiring risks. These attributes improve field reliability and enable faster commissioning in hazardous-location panels, especially when integrating legacy equipment with new Arktite CPS receptacles. Certified for NEC/CEC, UL hazardous locations, and area classifications Class I Division 1 and 2, the CPS152 101 streamlines regulatory approvals and audits for new and retrofit projects. OEMs benefit from plug-and-play compatibility with the Arktite CPS ecosystem, while end-users gain confidence that installations meet industry requirements and performance expectations under demanding conditions. This combination supports faster start-ups and long-term reliability across industrial automation deployments.
