Eaton Specification Sheet - EDSC3230 SA
The enclosure is copper-free aluminum, providing durable, corrosion-resistant protection in harsh environments, which translates to lower maintenance costs and longer service life for critical equipment in chemical plants and refineries. The two-gang, two-hub design enables neat, centralized wiring and straightforward conduit connections, reducing installation time and minimizing miswiring risk in crowded control panels. With a three-pole, 3-way switch configuration rated at 20A and 120–277 VAC, operators gain flexible control options and safer shutting mechanisms, improving uptime during start-up and maintenance windows. The through-feed style simplifies wiring architecture, decreasing field connections and potential fault points, which lowers commissioning time and supports rapid scalability in expanding facilities. Compliance with NEC/CEC and Hazardous Location classifications assures regulatory alignment and audit readiness for plant safety programs.

FAQs
The EDSC3230 SA is a two-gang, through-feed control station with two 1" hubs, housed in copper-free aluminum for rugged hazardous-location use. It is designed for Class I/II, Division 1 and 2, Class III environments and NEC/CEC compliance, making it suitable for secure mounting in cabinets or surface panels equipped for hazardous areas. Ensure the enclosure footprint and mounting bosses align with your panel design and that conduit entry is sized for 1" hubs.
The unit integrates a three-pole, 3-way switch configuration across two devices within a two-gang enclosure. This supports mirrored or independent control of circuits while maintaining a compact footprint. Wiring is simplified by through-feed entry and two 1" hubs, reducing field connections and enabling clean wiring runs for 120–277 VAC circuits at up to 20 A per circuit.
Industries with stringent hazardous-location requirements benefit most, including chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and other heavy-industrial environments. The enclosure’s Hazardous/Classified Locations rating, NEC/CEC compliance, and NEMA 3/7/9 protection support safe operation in challenging atmospheres while enabling reliable control station functionality in confined or remote installations.
The EDSC3230 SA carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and Hazardous Location ratings: Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; Class III, along with NEMA ratings 3, 7 and 9. These certifications support regulatory acceptance, safety audits, and uniformity with industrial control panels and assemblies in hazardous environments.
Through-feed wiring, two 1" hubs, and a copper-free aluminum enclosure reduce field wiring time and corrosion-related maintenance. The robust EDSC3230 SA design minimizes downtime during commissioning and service, and its NEC/CEC compliance simplifies approvals and future expansions, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in hazardous-location installations.
