Quick Summary

EDS snap switch control station provides reliable two-pole control for 120–277V circuits in hazardous locations. In harsh industrial environments, teams struggle to maintain safety, durability, and compliance without rugged enclosures and simple through-feed wiring. This unit aligns with NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location ratings, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, with NEMA ratings 3, 7 and 9 for robust protection. Factory-sealed construction and two 1 inch hubs support clean, secure installations in confined spaces. Its two-gang, two-pole design simplifies panel layouts while offering compatibility with standard Eaton accessories. For procurement teams, the combination of ruggedness, regulatory alignment, and ease of installation translates into reduced field rework and faster deployment in critical processes.

Two-pole, two-gang construction enables precise control of dual devices in a compact footprint, reducing panel width and wiring complexity and accelerating installation in conveyors and pump stations. Through-feed wiring with two 1" hubs simplifies field connections, improves seal integrity, and lowers labor costs while minimizing ingress risk in hazardous environments. Feraloy iron alloy enclosure delivers superior mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, extending service life and reducing maintenance. The 120–277V, 20A rating supports a broad range of loads without adapters, simplifying spares and procurement for motor controls and automation panels. Factory-sealed design with NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9 minimizes downtime from dust, moisture, and vibration, and supports safe operation in chemical plants, refineries, and mining facilities. The two-gang, through-feed configuration enhances installation efficiency and panel scalability, aligning with standard device bodies and Eaton accessories for rapid deployment.

FAQs

Yes. The EDSC328 is designed to fit standard two-gang device bodies and accepts common Eaton snap-switch accessories. Its 1" hub configuration and through-feed capability streamline integration with existing control panels, reducing retrofit time. When pairing with compatible EDS/EDSF modules, expect consistent mounting patterns and unified wiring aesthetics, which lowers commissioning risk in new builds or expansions.
The EDSC328 supports 120–277 Vac operation at up to 20 A, two-pole, two-gang configuration. This makes it suitable for motors, contactors, and line-side switching in hazardous locations. It’s designed for through-feed wiring and two 1" hubs, ensuring robust connections and reliable performance across typical industrial loads without requiring expensive adapters.
Yes. The unit is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA protection ratings 3, 7, and 9. Its factory-sealed enclosure, Feraloy iron alloy body, and through-feed design are specifically intended to withstand dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres common in oil, gas, chemical, and mining facilities.
The EDSC328 aligns with NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location classifications (Class I, Division 1 & 2; Class II, Division 1 & 2; Class III) along with NEMA 3, 7, 9 ratings. This combination supports regulatory compliance for installation in industrial facilities, helping simplify approvals, audits, and ongoing maintenance requirements.
Factory sealing and rugged Feraloy construction reduce ingress and corrosion, diminishing maintenance intervals and part replacements. Through-feed capability and a two-gang configuration shorten installation times, lowering labor costs during initial builds or upgrades. The result is lower total cost of ownership, faster project completion, and improved uptime in critical processing lines.
