Explosion-proof reliability is built into the CPS532 301 receptacle assembly, part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds Arktite CPS line. The unit supports two-wire, three-pole configurations with 7A/30A ratings and is rated for 125-250 Vac or 480 Vac at 60 Hz, making it a versatile choice for hazardous locations. In industrial plants such as oil refineries, chemical processing, and mining, this receptacle helps ensure safe, compliant power connections while reducing the risk of ignition in harsh environments. Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and minimizes corrosion when exposed to aggressive atmospheres, while brass contact components provide reliable conductivity. The result is longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and consistent performance in harsh locations such as offshore rigs or chemical plants. Delayer action circuit breaking (Style 2) protects personnel and equipment by isolating faults with a controlled response, while the dead-end back box and 1" trade size simplify installation in tight control panels. Factory-sealed design minimizes dust and moisture ingress, meeting NEC/CEC expectations and helping satisfy UL explosion-proof certifications. The unit's wide voltage span and HP ratings accommodate motor loads up to 0.5–1.5 HP, providing flexibility across mixed-voltage plant sections. Certifications and area classifications are explicit, enabling faster regulatory approvals and a smoother procurement process.

FAQs
CPS532 301 is designed for dead-end, single-gang installations in Class I Division 1/2 environments. Use a 1" trade size back box, follow NEC/CEC wiring practices, ensure proper enclosure sealing, and route conductors through compliant conduits to maintain UL explosion-proof integrity.
Yes. The receptacle assembly supports dual voltage ranges (125-250 Vac and 480 Vac) at 60 Hz, enabling motor circuits up to 0.5–1.5 HP and flexible deployment across mixed-voltage plant sections.
The CPS532 301 carries UL explosion-proof certification, NEC/CEC compliance, and explicit Hazardous/Classified area classifications, aiding regulatory approvals and safe operation in hazardous locations.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and other harsh-process facilities benefit from its explosion-proof protection, factory sealing, and durable copper-free aluminum housing.
Factory-sealed construction reduces ingress-related maintenance, while brass contacts and aluminum housing extend service life. This translates to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime, supporting a favorable total cost of ownership in safety-critical installations.
