Eaton Specification Sheet - EDSC3284
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The two-gang through-feed enclosure streamlines wiring and reduces install time, delivering measurable labor savings on new builds and retrofits; it supports a single circuit universal configuration, minimizing spare parts and simplifying panel wiring in mixed-voltage systems for chemical plants. The 600 Vac rating and feraloy iron alloy housing provide robust protection in hazardous locations, improving uptime and operator safety, particularly during startup and high-current events in oil and gas facilities. NEC/CEC conformance and NEMA 3, 7, 9 protection translate to stronger compliance documentation, easier audits, and lower risk of non-conformance in refinery environments. The pushbutton, 1-button, 1-device design reduces footprint while preserving control flexibility, making it easier to retrofit in existing two-gang panels and align with through-feed cabling strategies. Industry context shows explosionproof control stations like EDSC3284 are preferred in harsh environments for long-term reliability and simplified maintenance.

FAQs
EDSC3284 is a two-gang, through-feed pushbutton control station rated for 600 Vac. It uses a 1" trade size and a single circuit universal configuration with a feraloy iron alloy enclosure. It supports through-feed wiring, is NEC/CEC compliant, and is designed for hazardous/classified locations, enabling straightforward field installation and reliable operation in Class I/II/III environments.
The NEC/CEC ratings certify safe operation across Class I and II zones, including divisions 1 and 2, ensuring appropriate insulation, enclosure integrity, and clearance for hazardous atmospheres. This translates to verified electrical separation, robust enclosure protection, and documented compliance, which reduces risk during commissioning and routine maintenance in refinery, chemical, and mining applications.
Yes. The EDSC3284 is designed for hazardous locations with Class I/II/III ratings and NEMA 3, 7, 9 protection, making it suitable for oil & gas, chemical processing, and other high-risk environments. Its 600 Vac limit supports common plant circuits, while the two-gang, through-feed design simplifies retrofits and new installations without compromising safety or compliance.
The unit carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, Class III ratings, NEMA 3, 7, 9 enclosure protection, and Hazardous/Classified Location area classification. This combination supports regulatory audits, safe operation in hazardous areas, and compatibility with explosionproof control station requirements in industrial facilities.
The EDSC3284 uses a robust feraloy iron alloy enclosure and a simple through-feed wiring approach, which reduces maintenance intervals and installation time. Its durable construction lowers spare-part needs, minimizes unplanned downtime, and accelerates commissioning in new projects or plant upgrades, delivering measurable return on investment through improved uptime and safer, compliant operations.
