Through-feed wiring and hub-enabled access are core efficiency drivers for control stations. The EDSC2140 offers two 3/4" hubs and a through-feed design that streamlines field connections, reduces ingress risk, and speeds installation in panel boards. With a single-gang, four-pole, 4-way configuration, technicians can route power and control lines cleanly, supporting complex machine logic without crowding the enclosure. The robust enclosure and factory sealing deliver reliable operation in even harsh environments, minimizing maintenance cycles and safeguarding personnel. Feraloy iron alloy construction adds ruggedness suitable for demanding plants, while the 120-277V, 20A rating supports widespread equipment compatibility across industrial floors. Compatibility with the EDS family simplifies spares, and the clear NEC/CEC and NEMA ratings ensure regulatory alignment and lower total cost of ownership for integrators.
