Quick Summary

The EDSC2240 snap switch control station is a rugged control solution for hazardous-location panels used in heavy industrial processes. Operators often struggle with moisture ingress, complex wiring, and non-compliant enclosures that slow startups and raise maintenance costs. This unit delivers NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-area ratings, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, paired with robust NEMA protection. Designed for through-feed installations, its two-gang, four-pole configuration supports multi-circuit control at 120–277V. Factory-sealed construction and durable Feraloy iron alloy meet demanding field conditions, delivering long-term reliability while simplifying installation and reducing lifecycle costs for safety-conscious facilities.

Through-feed, two-gang, four-pole construction enables centralized switching of two circuits in a single enclosure, reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity. This translates to faster installations and easier troubleshooting on fast-moving production lines. Application: control stations for conveyors, pumps, and machine tools in harsh environments. Rated for 120–277V and 20A, the EDSC2240 supports common industrial loads without oversizing equipment. The result is better space utilization and lower energy waste due to optimized switchgear. Application: motor starters and lighting control in hazardous areas. Two 3/4-inch hubs simplify conduit connections in restricted spaces; pre-wired through-feed options reduce field wiring time. Installation becomes straightforward for electricians working in tight control panels or remote locations. Feraloy iron alloy and a factory-sealed enclosure provide rugged reliability in corrosive or dusty environments. This reduces maintenance cycles and extends service life in chemical plants, refineries, and other demanding sites. NEC/CEC compliance and hazard-area ratings Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, Class III, plus NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9 ensure regulatory alignment and safe operation. Dimensions of 5.06 in length, 5.875 in height, and 7.19 in width with a weight around 15.35 lb do not sacrifice space for performance. Access to Eaton documentation—EDS catalog page, IF 242 instruction sheets, and the official spec sheet—supports quick design validation and faster project approvals.

FAQs

The EDSC2240 is designed for NEC/CEC compliance in Class I/II/III environments, featuring two 3/4" hubs and through-feed wiring. It supports 120–277 VAC at up to 20 A across two devices in a two-gang, four-pole enclosure. For correct mounting and wiring, consult the IF 242 instruction sheets and the catalog page for installation guidance.
Key specs include 20 A amperage rating, 120–277 VAC voltage range, two devices, four-pole configuration, and hub style with two 3/4" hubs. Enclosure type is with switch, and the unit is factory sealed to protect against hazardous-location ingress. It is designed for through-feed installations and supports two concurrent circuits.
Yes. The EDSC2240 carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings across Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. It also bears NEMA protections, including ratings 3, 7, and 9, making it appropriate for a wide range of hazardous industrial applications.
Factory sealing and the use of Feraloy iron alloy reduce ingress of dust, moisture, and contaminants, leading to lower maintenance intervals and longer service life in harsh plants. This translates to higher uptime, fewer field service visits, and lower total cost of ownership for hazardous-location control stations.
Official documentation is available through Eaton’s resources, including the EDS catalog page for EDSC2240, IF 242 installation sheets, and the Eaton specification sheet. These documents provide detailed installation steps, wiring diagrams, and compliance information to support design validation and approvals.
