Quick Summary

EDSCX2140 SA snap switch control station provides rugged, four-pole control for hazardous-location panels. In demanding environments, wiring and ingress can slow projects; this unit addresses that with gasketed sealing and a robust, copper-free aluminum enclosure. It is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards while delivering reliable performance in Hazardous/Classified Locations, IP66, and NEMA 4X-rated conditions. The enclosure supports through-feed wiring and two 3/4" hubs, helping reduce installation time and ongoing maintenance costs, while offering compatibility with common control circuits and field-replaceable components. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to safer installations, longer service life, and lower total cost of ownership in challenging industrial settings.

FAQs

The EDSCX2140 SA is designed for hazardous-location control panels and automation cabinets, featuring a single-gang enclosure with two 3/4" hubs and a 4-pole, 4-way switch configuration. It supports 120–277 Vac operation at up to 20 A, making it compatible with standard control circuits and motor-control wiring in industrial environments.
This model meets NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations. It carries an IP66 rating and a NEMA 4X enclosure, with NEC hazardous ratings including Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2, as well as Class II, Division 1, ensuring compliance for protective enclosures in harsh environments.
The through-feed configuration reduces conduit runs and simplifies wiring by allowing feed and return conductors to enter through pre-sized hubs. This streamlines panel wiring, lowers installation time, and minimizes potential wiring errors—beneficial in tight spaces and complex control networks typical of hazardous-area facilities.
Yes. The enclosure is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 allowances, meaning it can safely operate in these zones when installed per applicable codes. This makes it suitable for chemical processing, oil refineries, and other environments with flammable or hazardous vapors.
Copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and longer service life, reducing replacement cycles in corrosive environments. The gasketed IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure protects internal components, lowering maintenance downtimes. Additionally, integrated hubs and a compact footprint shorten installation time and facilitate future upgrades, delivering measurable total-cost-of-ownership improvements.
