FAQs
CPS532 312 is designed for through-feed back box installations in two-gang layouts with a 1 inch trade size. When wiring in hazardous environments, ensure the enclosure is properly sealed, follow NEC/CEC guidelines, and use appropriate conduit and gaskets to maintain the unit’s Class I Division 1/2 integrity. Plan for compatibility with 125-250 Vac or 480 Vac service in a single assembly to minimize separate feed runs.
The receptacle supports 7A/30A ratings and a voltage range of 125-250 Vac or 480 Vac at 60 Hz, with brass contacts delivering reliable low-resistance connections. In practice, this enables flexible use across mixed-voltage equipment without swapping hardware, reducing inventory and simplifying maintenance while preserving compliance with hazardous-location standards.
Yes. The through-feed back box style and two-gang, 1" trade-size footprint are specifically engineered for dense panel layouts. This compatibility accelerates installation, reduces wiring complexity, and supports scalable wiring schemes in control rooms and field enclosures located in hazardous areas.
CPS532 312 carries UL certification for hazardous locations and is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards with Class I Division 1 and Division 2 ratings. It is intended for Hazardous/Classified Locations, delivering code-compliant performance and safer operation in industrial facilities that demand explosionproof receptacles.
Factory-sealed construction, copper-free aluminum housing, and durable brass contacts reduce ingress-related maintenance and downtime while extending service life in harsh environments. Although upfront costs may be higher, the combination of improved safety, reduced fault probability, and faster installation translates to lower total cost of ownership and quicker time-to-operational uptime.
