Eaton Crouse-Hinds EDSC2284 Pushbutton Control Station - Hazardous Locations

Feature → Business Impact → Application: EDSC2284 uses a two-gang, through-feed enclosure with a single pushbutton and 3/4" trade size, delivering a compact yet powerful control interface. This translates to reduced panel space, simplified wiring, and faster installation, lowering site labor costs and commissioning time in chemical plants and mining sites where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Feraloy iron alloy construction provides superior mechanical durability and heat resistance, decreasing wear and extending lifecycle in harsh environments. This supports longer maintenance intervals and lower total cost of ownership for hazardous-area control stations used in oil & gas extraction, water treatment, and heavy manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 Vac voltage rating and NEC/CEC conformity ensure proper operation with standard motor and equipment loads, reducing the risk of nuisance trips and compliance gaps. Application includes hazardous-location control stations for conveyors, fans, pumps, and process controllers in Class I, Division 1, Division 2, Class II, and Class III environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Through-feed style and single-circuit universal operation streamline integration with existing starter assemblies, enabling quick retrofits and consistent operation across multiple stations in a multi-gang control panel. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9 provide protection against environmental conditions, supporting installation in outdoor enclosures and corrosive areas, which translates to higher uptime in mining, chemical processing, and power-generation facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cataloged documentation and installation sheets (IF 328 series) simplify procurement and field wiring, helping project teams meet installation schedules and maintain regulatory traceability for hazardous-area equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two-gang, one pushbutton configuration reduces operator interface complexity while still delivering reliable control sequencing for start/stop operations in process lines and material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance with NEC hazardous ratings and area classification reduces risk of non-conformance penalties, enabling safer, standards-aligned installations across global plants that operate under strict electrical codes.
