IP66/IP66-rated gasketed enclosure is the key feature, providing robust ingress protection for the snap switch hardware. This high level of protection translates into fewer field failures and longer service intervals, delivering measurable maintenance savings. It's well-suited for hazardous locations and outdoor environments where dust, water, and corrosives are common, such as chemical plants and mining sites. 30A at 600 Vac capability supports direct motor switching and control of demanding loads without undersizing the device. This translates to simplified panel design and fewer components, reducing wiring complexity and trace heat. Typical applications include motor starters for conveyors, pumps, and fans in industrial facilities. Copper-free aluminum enclosure minimizes galvanic corrosion and reduces weight without sacrificing strength. This improves outdoor and saline environments and lowers maintenance costs. The combination of a hub-friendly design with one 3/4" hub and a single-gang footprint simplifies retrofit projects and expands installation options. Three-pole, dead-end configuration delivers compact, space-saving control suitable for tight panels, reducing enclosure depth while maintaining reliable switching performance. Hazardous-area certifications enhance compliance, enabling deployment in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining environments where safety and uptime are critical.

FAQs

EDSX2160 SA is designed for single-gang, three-pole control with a built-in 3/4" hub. It uses a copper-free aluminum enclosure and is rated for 600 Vac at 30A, making it compatible with many standard industrial motor-control circuits in hazardous locations. It integrates easily with upstream Eaton Crouse-Hinds products and standard conduit wiring, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike.
The unit carries IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure protection, plus NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location approvals including Class II, Division 1; Class I, Division 2; Class III; Zone 2. These certifications support regulatory compliance and reduce engineering risk for installations in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining operations.
Copper-free aluminum construction resists corrosion, while gasketed sealing and a rugged IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure protect internal switches from dust, water, and chemical exposure. This combination extends service intervals, lowers maintenance costs, and minimizes unplanned downtime in harsh environments.
The device measures 7.03 in length, 3.06 in height, and 3.5 in width, with a weight of 4.7 lb. It supports a 3/4" hub and is designed as a 1-device, single-gang, three-pole, dead-end control station. Its compact footprint helps fit tighter panels and reduces assembly complexity during installation.
Ideal for hazardous-area control in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining, the EDSX2160 SA handles motor switching and control at 30A and 600 Vac. It is well-suited for outdoor or harsh indoor environments where durable, compliant switching is essential, enabling reliable operation and safe integration with broader control systems.
