Eaton Specification Sheet - CPS152 201
Copper-free aluminum housing with brass contacts delivers corrosion resistance and long-term durability, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs in offshore, chemical, and mining applications. The factory-sealed design minimizes ingress of dust, moisture, and explosive atmospheres, improving reliability and reducing unscheduled downtime in critical process areas. The CPS152 201 uses a dead-end back box style and 3/4" trade size for straightforward field wiring, enabling faster install and retrofit with fewer access-related delays. A two-wire, three-pole configuration supports 20A circuits at 125–250 VAC and 18 VDC, ensuring compatibility with mixed control and power systems while meeting 60 Hz operation without performance loss. Delayed action circuit breaking and a 1 HP rating provide enhanced protection against short circuits, reducing arc flash risk and equipment damage in high-energy environments. This receptacle is designed to integrate with the Arktite CPS family, CPP, and CPR explosionproof products, offering consistent mounting patterns and sealing interfaces to lower engineering and training costs. In practice, installers benefit from standardization across hazardous locations projects, improving procurement efficiency and on-site compliance with NEC/CEC requirements.
