CPS532 111 Receptacle Assembly - Hazardous Locations

Explosion-proof through-feed design is a core feature of the Arktite CPS532 111. It supports two-wire, three-pole connections with Class I, Division 1/Division 2 ratings, aligning with NEC/CEC expectations for hazardous locations. This feature set translates to safer startups and reduced risk of ignition in volatile environments, improving operator safety and asset protection. In practical deployments such as oil refineries or chemical plants, the robustness of the CPS532 111 reduces unplanned downtime and helps meet rigorous compliance timelines. Copper-free aluminum housing keeps weight manageable in large installations while delivering superior corrosion resistance in humidity, salt spray, or chemical exposure. Brass contact material provides reliable current transfer even under vibration or thermal cycling, which is common in processing environments. These material choices support longer service intervals, lower replacement costs, and improved energy efficiency in continuous-duty applications. Grounding style Style 2 and single-gang configuration streamline installation in tight spaces. The through-feed back box simplifies conduit routing and reduces field cutting, which speeds up job site wiring. With 1/2 inch trade size and 0.5 to 1.5 HP motor compatibility, this receptacle pairs with a broad range of control circuits and motor loads. Factory-sealed construction protects the interior against dust, moisture, and corrosive aerosols, extending life in harsh environments. The delayed action circuit-breaking feature helps prevent nuisance trips during transient faults, lowering maintenance cycles and extending equipment uptime. For projects requiring mixed-voltages, the 125-250 VAC/480 VAC rating provides flexibility without swapping hardware. From a procurement and lifecycle perspective, CPS532 111 offers predictable pricing, strong supplier support, and a compact footprint that reduces panel real estate needs. The compatibility with existing Arktite CPS family means retrofit projects can leverage stock components, lowering spares inventory. Industry professionals benefit from clear NEC/CEC and hazardous locations certifications, ensuring faster approvals and safer operations. Overall, the combination of rugged construction, reliable performance, and regulatory compliance makes CPS532 111 a compelling choice for critical industrial connections in hazardous zones.
