FAQs

The EDSC2240 SA is designed as a two-gang, four-pole control station with two 3/4" hubs, enabling straightforward integration into standard low-voltage control panels. Its through-feed capability supports common wiring practices, and Eaton provides installation resources such as IF 328 instruction sheets to guide device body selection and mating with compatible EDS/EDSX components. This compatibility minimizes field rework and ensures consistent device positioning within multi-device assemblies.
The unit is rated for 20A at 120-277V and offers four-pole, two-gang switching with 4-way functionality. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location ratings including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, along with a NEMA 3, 7, 9 enclosure rating. These specifications support safe operation in demanding environments typical of oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities.
This control station excels in hazardous-location processes where motor control and safety interlocks must operate reliably. Industries such as oil and gas refining, chemical processing, mining, and other chemical-heavy or explosive-risk environments benefit from its robust copper-free aluminum enclosure, dual-pushbutton control, and through-feed capability. Its compatibility with standard 120-277V control circuits simplifies integration into existing plant control architectures.
The EDSC2240 SA carries NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-area classifications, including Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III. It also has a NEMA rating of 3, 7, 9 and is suitable for Hazardous/Classified Locations. This suite of certifications ensures regulatory alignment for industrial control panels and assemblies in hazardous environments.
Copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance with reduced weight, improving durability and ease of handling in harsh environments. The through-feed design minimizes wiring errors and panel rework, while the two-gang, four-pole configuration supports scalable control schemes, reducing future replacement or expansion costs. Access to Eaton’s installation and specification documents also helps maintain consistency and fast onboarding for maintenance teams.
