Eaton Specification Sheet - EDSC315 GB
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EDSC315 GB uses a compact through-feed single-gang enclosure with a 1" trade size and two pushbuttons, enabling tighter panel layouts without sacrificing control capability. This translates to reduced installation time and lower cabinet footprint in control rooms and hazardous zones, especially in retrofits where space is at a premium. In practice, technicians can achieve faster commissioning and straightforward maintenance while preserving essential control functions in oil, gas, or chemical facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With a 600 VAC voltage rating and two-device capability, engineers can consolidate control points for motors and equipment, cutting wiring complexity and minimizing harness sprawl. This supports safer startups, easier fault isolation, and smoother integration with existing plant power networks in mining or power generation environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Feraloy iron alloy enclosure delivers rugged durability for harsh environments, resisting impact and corrosion typical of hazardous locations. This improves long-term reliability, reduces replacement cycles, and lowers lifecycle costs for outdoor or plant-floor installations across mining, refining, or processing operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance, UL certification, and NEMA ratings ensure the station meets regulatory and safety standards, decreasing regulatory risk and accelerating audits. This is particularly valuable for multi-site manufacturers needing consistent hazardous-location performance across petrochemical, refining, and energy conversion facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The through-feed, single-gang design saves panel space while enabling easy upgrades from older two-gang or larger pushbutton stations. For integrators, this means faster wiring diagrams, simpler spares management, and smoother retrofits in constrained plant areas or retrofit projects in heavy industries.

FAQs
EDSC315 GB is designed for through-feed, single-gang installations using a 1 inch trade size enclosure. It supports two pushbuttons and two devices at a 600 VAC rating, making upgrades straightforward in tight spaces without rewiring nearby equipment. For retrofits, pair with compatible EDS/EDSX bodies and follow IF 328 installation guidance to ensure proper hazardous-location mounting and safety.
EDSC315 GB carries NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations and is rated for Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III environments. It is UL certified and rated for hazardous-area use, with compatible NEMA ratings 9, 3, 7. These approvals support safe operation and regulatory alignment across facilities.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, power, and heavy manufacturing benefit from its explosion-proof construction and hazardous-location compliance. The two-pushbutton, two-device configuration supports basic start/stop or motor control in hazardous zones, while 600 VAC compatibility aligns with common plant power. Its rugged enclosure supports outdoor or harsh indoor environments.
Plan for a 1 inch trade size, single-gang through-feed installation using compatible EDS/EDSX bodies and IF 328 instruction sheets. Verify the enclosure is rated for the intended hazardous classifications and ensure correct wiring for 600 VAC circuits and two devices. Use proper seals and terminal blocks as specified in the IF 328 guide to maintain explosion-proof integrity.
Choosing the EDSC315 GB reduces maintenance and downtime by supplying a rugged, UL-listed control point designed for hazardous locations. Fewer components and a compact footprint simplify spares management, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes regulatory risk. In the long term, this translates to faster field service, easier retrofits, and improved process uptime in challenging industrial environments.
