FAQs

Follow the IF 242 installation guidance and use the through-feed wiring scheme. Mount the unit in a Class I, Division 1 or 2 area with a copper-free aluminum enclosure, ensuring the two 1-inch hubs are accessible. Verify NEC/CEC compliance and secure connections for 120-277 V circuits. Refer to the Eaton instruction sheets for step-by-step mounting and wiring details.
The EDSC3229 SA is rated for 20 A, with a voltage range of 120-277 VAC. It is a two-pole, two-pushbutton, two-gang control station designed for through-feed wiring and accommodates two devices. The unit uses a 1" trade size and employs a copper-free aluminum enclosure suitable for industrial control panels in harsh environments.
Yes. The EDSC3229 SA carries NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location ratings including Class I, Division 1 (and Division 2), Class II, Division 1 & 2, and Class III, along with NEMA ratings 3, 7, and 9. This makes it appropriate for control stations in explosion-protected or hazardous areas such as oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities.
The product adheres to NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location classifications. Certifications and UL-related documentation are available via catalog pages and ULProspector references, with installation guides such as IF 242 and the Eaton specification sheet. This supports regulatory compliance, safe operation, and easier panel certification for industrial control systems.
The two-gang design reduces panel footprint and wiring complexity, while copper-free aluminum enhances durability in harsh environments. With two hubs and through-feed wiring, field modifications are simplified, leading to faster commissioning and lower maintenance costs. The result is improved uptime, fewer replacement parts, and a lower total cost of ownership over the product’s life.
