Eaton CPS532 212 Receptacle Assembly - Hazardous Locations

Copper-free aluminum housing with brass contacts provides robust corrosion resistance and dependable current transfer in harsh environments. This combination reduces maintenance and extends service life for explosion-proof receptacles deployed in chemical plants, refineries, and other hazardous locations. The CPS532 212 is designed for two-wire, three-pole CPS configurations within the Arktite CPS line, delivering reliable performance in demanding process environments. Two-gang, through-feed back box design streamlines installation by minimizing field modifications and wiring runs. The through-feed configuration simplifies cable management and reduces installation time, helping project teams meet tight commissioning windows without sacrificing seal integrity. The unit's copper-free aluminum housing and factory seal support durability where ingress protection and containment matter most. With a 3/4 inch trade size and a voltage window of 125-250 Vac or 480 Vac at 60 Hz, this receptacle covers diverse industrial loads and control circuits. The 7A/30A amperage range accommodates light-to-medium duty applications, including motor-starter circuits and process instrumentation, while the 0.5 hp/1.5 hp horsepower ratings reflect practical performance limits. Integrating with two-wire, three-pole systems keeps wiring simple and maintenance predictable. Factory-sealed construction pairs with delay-action circuit breaking (Style 2 grounding) to minimize exposure to dust, moisture, and fault-induced trips. This design philosophy translates to higher uptime, fewer unplanned outages, and easier regulatory inspections in hazardous locations. Compatibility with through-feed back boxes and standard 3/4 inch openings simplifies retrofits and new installations alike. Compliance is built in, with NEC/CEC standards supporting Class I, Division 1 and 2 classifications for hazardous areas and UL certification details referenced in the documentation. This ensures that installation teams can spec confidently for oil-and-gas, chemical processing, and other process industries. In total, the CPS532 212 delivers a robust, future-ready solution for industrial automation environments.
