Eaton Specification Sheet - EBMX1S
Explosionproof clamped EBMXS design provides robust protection for motor starter control in harsh environments, reducing risk and downtime in hazardous areas. This translates to safer commissioning and ongoing operation, enabling reliable performance in oil, gas, chemical processing, and mining applications. The business impact is clear: by meeting stringent safety standards, you minimize regulatory delays and certification hurdles while accelerating time-to-production for critical motor control panels. Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance and lighter weight, improving handling, installation speed, and long-term maintenance costs in facilities with aggressive atmospheres or washdown requirements. In practice, this enclosure supports durable field installations where space is at a premium and weight constraints matter, such as offshore platforms or compact control rooms. The Size 1 footprint (without starter) provides flexible integration with existing starters or modular components, enabling retrofit projects without replacing intact control assemblies. The enclosure’s NEMA 4X rating, area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations, and NEC/CEC compliance collectively streamline procurement, inspection readiness, and future upgrades, while maintaining compatibility with standard EBMX motor control accessories for fast, predictable installations.

FAQs
The EBMX1S is designed for hazardous locations and uses a clamped EBMX framework for secure mounting. Typical installations employ standard mounting patterns compatible with Size 1 enclosures, with space considerations for wiring entries and starter components. Ensure compliance with NEC/CEC guidelines and local environmental conditions, and refer to installation sheets such as IF1794 for specific mounting recommendations and wiring diagrams.
EBMX1S carries NEC/CEC standards for electrical equipment in hazardous locations, Class I Division 1 and 2, Zone 1 and 2, and Class II/III equivalents. It also features a NEMA 4X rating for corrosion resistance. UL certification references are available for US and Canada, supporting compliance, inspection readiness, and avoidance of costly rework during audits.
Yes, EBMX1S is designed as a Size 1 enclosure without starter, allowing integration with compatible non-Eaton starters or modular I/O components. When selecting accessories, verify mechanical fit and electrical compatibility with your control scheme and ensure that the assembly remains within hazardous-location ratings and enclosure integrity.
The EBMX1S enclosure measures 22.11 inches in length, 12.86 inches in height, and 15.98 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 80 pounds. These dimensions facilitate planning for limited-space installations and help ensure proper clearances for wiring, ventilation, and starter mounting within hazardous-location panels.
Choosing EBMX1S delivers value through durable copper-free aluminum construction, explosionproof protection, and NEC/CEC compliance in hazardous locations. The NEMA 4X rating reduces maintenance and corrosion-related downtime, while UL/HazLoc certifications simplify procurement, inspection, and future upgrades, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership and accelerating system reliability in chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations.
