Feraloy iron alloy enclosure delivers rugged explosion-proof integrity and outstanding corrosion resistance, enabling reliable operation in environments with moisture, dust, and chemical exposure. This material choice reduces wear, extends service life, and lowers maintenance costs, translating into fewer field repairs and less downtime for critical lines. In practice, technicians in oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining gain predictable performance where demanding requirements and regulatory scrutiny are common. 600 Vac rating ensures safe control of line-powered equipment using standard industrial power, while the single pushbutton in a single-gang enclosure minimizes panel depth and wiring complexity. This combination accelerates installation, simplifies spare parts management, and improves overall control reliability by reducing potential mis-wiring and contact wear. For projects upgrading legacy systems, the compact form factor supports tighter installations without sacrificing electrical safety or performance. With one 3/4 in hub, conduit entry is straightforward, allowing clean routing of power and control cables and reducing field labor. The hub design also supports common fittings and ease of gasket sealing, which aids in maintaining enclosure integrity under harsh conditions. In retrofit scenarios, the streamlined wiring approach translates into faster commissioning and lower labor costs. Compliance is built in: NEC/CEC standards ensure compatibility with regulatory frameworks in North America and Canada, UL certification confirms suitability for use in hazardous locations, and the enclosure is rated NEMA 3, 7, and 9 for protection against dust, water, and blast hazards. Area classification as Hazardous/Classified Locations further reinforces risk mitigation across diverse industrial environments and service conditions. Operator interface features include an indicating plate marking Stop and a single-circuit universal arrangement for predictable, intuitive operation. This clarity reduces operator errors during start-up, maintenance, and reset actions, while the robust construction minimizes replacement cycles. Overall, customers experience improved safety, quicker response times, and a lower total cost of ownership when deploying this EFS2184 SP solution in appropriate hazardous settings.

FAQs

EFS2184 SP is designed for hazardous/classified locations with NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification. It features a single-gang enclosure, 3/4" hub, 1 pushbutton, 600 Vac rating, and a Feraloy iron alloy body, making it suitable for Class I, II, and III environments in Group B applications as catalogued by Eaton/Crouse-Hinds.
Wire entry is via a single 3/4" hub into a single-gang enclosure. Use standard conduit fittings, ensure seals are intact, and terminate the control circuit to the single pushbutton. Follow UL instruction sheets IF 899 and 328 for proper torque, sealing, and assembly to maintain explosion-proofs ratings and enclosure integrity.
Yes. Eaton’s catalog pages for EFS control stations note Group B applicability. The unit’s hazardous-location certifications (NEC/CEC, UL) and its 600 Vac rating support reliable operation in Group B environments, with the 3/4" hub facilitating conduit routing in tight installations common to Group B facilities.
The EFS2184 SP adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is UL certified for hazardous locations. It has a NEMA rating of 3, 7, and 9, and classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations. This combination provides regulatory confidence, safer operation, and easier auditability across North American plants.
The rugged Feraloy iron alloy enclosure lowers corrosion and wear, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. The compact 3/4" hub and single-gang design speed installation, cutting labor hours. UL/NEC/CEC compliance minimizes compliance risk, while the Stop-indicator improves operator efficiency, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment life.
