Eaton EDS Snap Switch Control Station EDSC218 GB - Class I

Hazardous-location readiness is built into the EDS snap switch control station with a Class I Division 1 Group B rating and a rugged enclosure. The business impact is reduced safety risk, lower compliance costs, and faster audit cycles. In practice, it enables oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and mining operations to deploy dependable control stations without compromising safety or performance. Through-feed design, single-gang footprint, two-pole operation, and two 3/4 inch hubs simplify wiring and shorten installation times. This translates to lower labor costs and less panel space required, making it ideal for retrofit projects and new builds where space is at a premium. The 120-277V, 20A rating supports common motor and line-voltage circuits, while the weathering-ready enclosure reduces field service calls. Durable construction uses Feraloy iron alloy, delivering rugged durability in harsh environments where impacts, heat, and chemicals are a constant concern. The enclosure is structured to support with-switch operation and through-feed configurations, ensuring quick, reliable control without extra accessories. The compact single-gang form factor helps standardize panel layouts across machines and lines, minimizing misfits and rework. Compliance and versatility are reinforced by NEC/CEC standards, hazardous-location classifications, and NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9. This combination reduces regulatory risk and expands applicability across plants that demand certified equipment. For technicians, the integration with Eaton Crouse-Hinds EDS components offers a proven ecosystem, simplifying stocking, maintenance, and future upgrades while preserving performance across shifts and seasons.
