Eaton Specification Sheet - EFS3184
Explosionproof enclosure and hazardous-location rating deliver essential safety and regulatory compliance, reducing risk and downtime in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments. What this means for your operation is less unscheduled maintenance and faster panel refurbishment, with proven performance in Class I, II, and III locations. The 600 Vac rating and a single pushbutton device support streamlined wiring and simplified field upgrades, enabling efficient retrofits and consistent actuation in control loops. Feraloy iron alloy construction provides rugged mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, translating to longer service life in harsh industrial atmospheres and lower total cost of ownership. The 1" hub, 1-device, single-gang form factor integrates easily into existing enclosures and standard installation footprints, reducing misfit risk during installation and training time for maintenance crews. With NEC/CEC alignment and UL/CSA listings, this unit simplifies procurement while helping you maintain compliant control systems across facilities. The NEMA ratings of 3, 7, and 9 further assure reliable operation in challenging environments, supporting dependable start-stop functions in explosion-prone zones. Overall compatibility with EDS/EFS design packages and installation sheets (IF328) accelerates project timelines and minimizes field rework, delivering measurable improvements in maintenance efficiency and safety.

FAQs
The EFS3184 is designed for single-gang installations with a 1" trade hub, aligning with standard device bodies and control station layouts. It integrates with EDS/EFS family components and is supported by installation sheets such as IF328, which streamline mounting, wiring, and field-term connections. This compatibility minimizes field adaptation and reduces installation time in new or retrofit projects.
Key specs include a 600 Vac voltage rating, one pushbutton, one device, and single-gang enclosure. The unit is built for hazardous environments and supports a normal position of single circuit universal with a dead-end style. Hub style is with one 1" hub, and the overall footprint is suited for compact control stations in space-constrained panels.
Yes. The EFS3184 carries NEC hazardous ratings including Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, along with Class II, Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III. It’s intended for Hazardous/Classified Locations and provides the protection and certifications required to comply with NEC/CEC standards in explosion-prone settings.
The unit uses a Feraloy iron alloy enclosure, rated NEMA 3, 7, and 9, and NEC/CEC standards alignment to meet rigorous safety and compliance requirements. UL certification corroborates suitability for hazardous locations. This combination reduces regulatory risk, enhances worker safety during operation, and supports consistent auditing and documentation across facilities.
Investing in the EFS3184 yields lower maintenance costs due to robust explosionproof construction, corrosion resistance, and longer service life in harsh climates. Fewer field replacements and reduced downtime during start-stop cycles lead to faster commissioning, less spare-part inventory, and improved process reliability, delivering a favorable ROI over traditional non-explosionproof pushbutton stations.
