Copper-free aluminum housing offers corrosion resistance for harsh environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance in hazardous installations. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and fewer unscheduled outages in chemical plants or wash-down areas where exposure is common. The 20A, two-pole design with a 30 mA trip delivers precise ground-fault protection, cutting nuisance trips and safeguarding motors, drives, and control circuits in demanding applications. Compatibility with 120/240 Vac systems simplifies upgrades and panel retrofits, reducing installation time and panel redesign costs for aging automation cabinets. A single-breaker format minimizes footprint and accelerates commissioning, delivering faster time-to-value in retrofit projects and new builds in hazardous zones. NEC/CEC compliance, along with NEMA ratings (9, 12, 3, 7), provides regulatory assurance for explosion-proof protection across industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and energy.

FAQs
Install the EGF12EPD20 by confirming panel ratings for Class I/Division 1 or Class II/Division 2 environments, mounting the unit within the approved enclosure, and wiring per the 30 mA trip specification. Use copper-free aluminum housing for durability in harsh locations, and ensure connections are tight and within the 120/240 Vac supply limits to prevent nuisance trips.
The device is a 20A, two-pole ground fault control station with a 30 mA trip setting, operating on 120/240 Vac. It is designed for hazardous locations and provides a compact, single-breaker solution suitable for control panels feeding motors and related equipment in industrial environments.
Yes. The EGF12EPD20 is specified for hazardous and classified locations, including Class I, Division 1, as part of its NEC/CEC compliance and explosion-proof design. This makes it appropriate for hazardous-area control panels in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities.
It carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous-location ratings, including Class I/Division 1 and Class II/Division 2, plus compatible NEMA ratings (9, 12, 3, 7). This combination supports safe operation in explosion-prone environments and simplifies regulatory approvals for industrial installations.
Expect reduced downtime due to fewer nuisance trips, longer service life from copper-free aluminum housing, and faster installation with a compact, single-breaker design. ROI stems from improved safety, lower maintenance costs, and smoother compliance with NEC/CEC standards in hazardous-location facilities.
