Eaton CPS152 102 receptacle assembly - Hazardous Locations

Deliberate action: Delayed action circuit breaking is built into the CPS152 102, delivering safer disconnection during overload or fault conditions. This reduces arc flash exposure and extends hardware life, minimizing unplanned downtime in critical automation loops. This is particularly valuable in high-induction loads and motors found in processing lines where a sudden trip can halt production.Robust enclosure and grounding: Two-gang, dead-end back box design with Style 2 grounding provides a secure and compliant mounting footprint in compact installations, simplifying field wiring and reducing enclosure modification time for hazardous-area panels. This supports reliable power distribution in confined spaces and supports standardized CPS family installations.Electrical performance clarity: Rated for 20A, 125-250 Vac / 18 Vdc with 60 Hz operation, and 1 HP capabilities, this receptacle handles essential plant loads while leaving headroom for startup surges common in conveyors, pumps, and fans in harsh environments. This helps minimize nuisance outages and improve process uptime.Material and corrosion resilience: Copper-free aluminum housing paired with brass contacts delivers long-term durability in corrosive environments, reducing maintenance cycles and replacement costs, which is especially beneficial for chemical processing and oil/gas facilities. This combination also supports reliable conductivity under varying ambient conditions.Factory sealed and certified: Factory sealing guards against dust and moisture ingress, ensuring performance in explosion-protected installations and meeting hazardous-location requirements. The sealed design complements the Class I Division 1 and Division 2 ratings, allowing dependable operation in challenging plant atmospheres.Installation compatibility and scalability: With a 1/2" trade size and a two-gang footprint, the CPS152 102 aligns with standard conduit and mounting schemes, enabling quick retrofits and straightforward integration into Arktite CPS, CPP, CPS-themed upgrade programs. This reduces commissioning time when expanding hazardous-location wiring devices across facilities.
