Two-gang, two-device design with 3/4" hubs reduces panel footprint and wiring complexity, cutting install time and potential wiring errors in hazardous environments. This feature translates to measurable savings in labor costs and faster commissioning of critical equipment in plants where space is at a premium. The 120–277V, 20A rating supports a wide range of control circuits, enabling a single-stock solution for motors, sensors, and actuators while reducing part variety. Feraloy iron alloy construction with a factory-sealed enclosure delivers robust protection against dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres, lowering maintenance cycles and extending service life in demanding facilities. Through-feed capability simplifies field wiring, enabling faster retrofits and easier future upgrades without disassembly. The enclosure’s through-feed design and two 3/4" hubs support compliant conduit management and safer, code-aligned installations. With Hazardous/Classified Location certifications and NEC/CEC standards, you gain regulatory confidence and a clear path to workplace safety compliance. The compact dimensions (5.06 in depth, 5.875 in height, 7.19 in width) and 16.8 lb weight provide sturdy mounting in standard electrical spaces, reducing vibration-related wear and improving long-term reliability.

FAQs

For hazardous locations, mount the EDSC2229 in a through-feed, two-gang enclosure with two 3/4" hubs to simplify conduit entry. Ensure connections are made within the 120–277V, 20A rating and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for Class I, II, and III locations. Use the instruction sheets (IF 328) to confirm mounting procedures and wiring sequences for safe, compliant integration.
The device is rated for 20A at 120–277V, supporting two single-pole devices in a two-gang assembly. This broad voltage range enables a single control head for mixed-voltage panels, reducing part counts and installation time while ensuring reliable switching in standard industrial control circuits.
Ideal for hazardous-location motor control, conveyor and pump panels, chemical processing plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations. The dual-gang, through-feed configuration with a sealed enclosure supports reliable switching in challenging environments, helping facilities meet strict safety and reliability requirements.
The EDSC2229 carries NEC/CEC compliance for Hazardous/Classified Locations, including Class I Division 1 & 2, Class II Division 1 & 2, and Class III. It also carries NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9, and is designed for controlled, safe operation in hazardous environments per applicable standards.
Factory-sealed construction and rugged Feraloy iron alloy housing reduce ingress, corrosion, and maintenance needs, extending service life in harsh settings. The two-gang, through-feed design speeds installation and future upgrades, lowering downtime and labor costs while enhancing overall system reliability and return on investment.
