Eaton EBMX3C-F3W4-100 Explosionproof Motor Starter - NEMA 4X
Part Number: EBMX3C-F3W4-100
Quick Summary
The Eaton EBMX3C-F3W4-100 is a clamped EBMXC combination motor starter for hazardous-location motor control. Designers often wrestle with safe enclosure fit, wiring complexity, and regulatory compliance in harsh environments. This unit delivers NEC/CEC compliance with UL hazard-location certifications and a NEMA 4X enclosure, providing certified protection. With a 480 Vac rating, 100 A capacity, and a 120 V coil with built-in breaker and CPT, it streamlines installation and reduces panel clutter. Copper-free aluminum construction and a Size 3 enclosure keep weight down while standing up to demanding service, delivering reliable operation and lower lifecycle costs for plant-wide motor control. This makes it a practical choice for retrofits and new builds in mining, chemical, and oil & gas facilities.
