Quick Summary

EDS snap switch control station is a rugged two-gang enclosure that safely manages control signals in hazardous locations. This design helps minimize arc-flash exposure and enclosures downtime by consolidating switching in a single, certified unit. It meets NEC/CEC requirements and is specified for Class I, Division 1, Group B environments, offering reliable operation in demanding industrial settings. With 120-277V voltage rating and a 20A amperage, it supports common automation panels while reducing wiring complexity. The copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and lighter handling for installation teams. For engineers and procurement teams, this means faster procurement cycles, compliant installation, and predictable maintenance across hazardous-area sites.

Special features
Class I, Division 1, Group B
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The enclosure is constructed from copper-free aluminum, delivering corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, which reduces maintenance costs and extends service life in chemical processing plants. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer unscheduled outages when deployed in offshore or coastal facilities. Application: Hazardous locations in chemical plants or oil & gas sites requiring durable, compliant switch control stations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two 3/4" hubs support flexible cable entry, simplifying field wiring and enabling cleaner installation in tight electrical rooms. This reduces install time and improves fault isolation during commissioning. Application: Retrofit or new-build control panels where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Through-feed design and two-gang configuration accommodate two single-pole switches, enabling centralized control of related circuits and streamlined operator workflows. Application: Mechanical or process lines that require coordinated control in a compact footprint. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Rated 120-277V, 20A with a single-pole switch setup ensures compatibility with common low-voltage and line-voltage control schemes, minimizing equipment diversity and stock requirements. Application: General purpose control stations in industrial automation where standard mains voltage is used. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Class I, Division 1, Group B certification provides compliance with stringent safety standards, reducing risk and easing regulatory approvals for installations in hazardous zones. Application: Refineries, chemical plants, and paint facilities where hazardous-area control is mandated. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA-rated enclosure options plus rigorous NEC/CEC compliance enhance reliability and market acceptance in regulated markets. Application: Projects requiring verifiable conformance for safety inspections and downstream OEMs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two-gang, copper-free aluminum unit supports fast maintenance and minimizes downtime during routine testing or switch replacement. Application: Maintenance windows and shutdown-sensitive production lines where quick service is critical.
