Two-gang, three-pole configuration combines two pushbuttons and a 3-way switch into a single compact assembly, reducing panel depth and wiring complexity. This feature translates to faster panel assembly and lower field labor costs during maintenance. Rated 20A at 120-277V supports common control circuits and lighting in industrial facilities, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying spares. The copper-free aluminum enclosure offers superior corrosion resistance in chemical and damp environments while maintaining a manageable weight for field service. Installation is streamlined by the standard 1" hub, easing cable entry and routing in tight panels and conduits. Hazardous area ratings, NEC/CEC compliance, and NEMA 3, 7, 9 protections ensure regulatory alignment and safer operation in oil, gas, and chemical plants. Documentation and installation resources, including IF328 instruction sheets and Eaton catalogs, support quick commissioning and routine maintenance, minimizing downtime and non-production time. In practice, facilities gain measurable uptime, reduced risk, and a clear path to compliant upgrades for legacy control stations in hazardous locations.
