Eaton Specification Sheet - EBMX3S
Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance and weight efficiency, improving long-term durability in chemical and outdoor environments while sustaining enclosure integrity for critical motor control. This translates to lower maintenance cycles and reduced replacement costs during plant life cycles, particularly in hazardous locations where material compatibility matters. The Size 3 clamped EBMXS enclosure without starter enables modular, scalable installations; it supports rapid field upgrades by allowing standard starter components to be added later without reworking the enclosure, ultimately shortening project timelines. Compatibility with the clamped EBMXS system simplifies retrofits and new builds, reducing engineering time and ensuring consistent performance across assets in harsh conditions. NEC/CEC compliance and Hazardous/Classified Location ratings, paired with NEMA 4X protection, provide regulatory certainty and robust environmental defense against dust, moisture, and chemical exposure, which lowers commissioning risk and unplanned downtime. The copper-free aluminum enclosure, with its proven seal and gasket design, helps manage operating costs by minimizing corrosion-related leakage paths and maintenance overhead in demanding industries such as oil & gas and chemical processing.
