FAQs
Is the EDSC21101 W27 compatible with standard 3/4 inch through-feed enclosures and single-gang mounting? Yes. It is designed as a single-pole, single-gang control station with two 3/4 inch hubs and through-feed wiring, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike. This setup fits common industrial enclosures and streamlines wiring runs in hazardous-area applications.
The EDSC21101 W27 is rated for 1 horsepower with a through-feed, 3/4 inch trade size configuration and includes a 5.26A Cutler Hammer heater. This combination provides reliable motor control for small loads while offering condensation protection and stable operation in variable ambient conditions in hazardous locations.
Yes, this control station is intended for Hazardous/Classified Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. It supports Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II, and related NEMA ratings. This makes it suitable for environments like chemical plants, refineries, and other primary hazardous-area facilities, helping you meet regulatory requirements with a compact, integrated solution.
The through-feed design, single-pole configuration, and two 3/4" hubs enable neat, code-compliant wiring with minimal field connections. Feraloy iron alloy construction adds durability, while the integrated heater reduces moisture-related downtime. Maintenance teams benefit from easier part replacement, quicker fault isolation, and fewer enclosure openings, improving overall uptime.
Plan for hazardous-location wiring methods, verify NEC/CEC compliance for your jurisdiction, and ensure enclosure mounting aligns with the single-gang footprint. The unit’s 3/4" hubs and through-feed configuration simplify cable routing, while the heater and rugged housing reduce environmental risk. Budget for inspection, testing after retrofit, and documentation to support audits.
