FAQs

Installation should begin with confirming the enclosure is mounted in a compliant location per NEC/CEC guidelines. Connect the 30A circuit within the 120-277 Vac range using the two 3/4" hubs for primary feed and any field wiring through-feed. The gasketed IP66/4X enclosure protects against dust, moisture, and corrosive elements, so use appropriate gaskets and seals for your environment. Ensure proper termination, torque specs, and external grounding per local codes to maintain hazardous-location integrity and maintain compliance throughout the life of the installation.
The unit supports 30A at 120-277 Vac, with two 3/4" hubs for through-feed wiring and a single-pole, single-gang switch arrangement. This configuration enables straightforward wiring within standard control panels and minimizes the need for additional external enclosures. The copper-free aluminum enclosure provides durability in demanding environments, while the gasketed design maintains IP66 and 4X protection for reliable operation in hazardous locations.
