FAQs

The EDSC3229 is designed with two 1" hubs and a through-feed configuration, enabling straightforward wiring access while maintaining a compact enclosure footprint. Installers should verify panel clearance, ensure correct conductor routing for 120-277V circuits, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous locations to maintain certification integrity.
The EDSC3229 carries NEC/CEC compliance and Hazardous/Classified Locations ratings, including Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III. It is rated under NEMA 3, 7, and 9 enclosure standards, supporting safe operation in a wide range of hazardous environments.
Yes. The EDSC3229 is rated for 120-277V and up to 20A. It is a two-gang, single-pole switch configuration with two devices, making it suitable for controlling multiple circuits within a single enclosure in hazardous locations.
Factory sealing protects internal components from dust, moisture, and contaminants, reducing ingress that could cause corrosion or contact wear. This leads to lower maintenance intervals, longer service life, and less downtime due to environmental exposure in mining, chemical processing, and similar settings.
Refer to the IF328 installation sheets for EDS, EFS, EDSC, and EFSC device bodies and the Eaton specification sheet for EDSC3229. These documents provide wiring diagrams, enclosure dimensions, and compliance details to ensure correct assembly and certification alignment on site.
