Eaton Crouse-Hinds EGF21EPD30 Ground Fault Control Station - Hazardous
Part Number: EGF21EPD30
Quick Summary
Ground fault control station for hazardous locations protects equipment by quickly detecting leakage in power circuits. Maintenance teams struggle with nuisance trips and challenging wiring in explosion-proof enclosures. Designed for NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous-locations ratings including Class I/II, Division 1 and 2, Class III, and compatible with NEMA 12/3/7/9 enclosures. In practice, engineers value rapid commissioning, clear fault signaling, and robust protection against arc faults in demanding environments. By combining a 30 mA trip with copper-free aluminum housing and two single-pole breakers, the EGF21EPD30 reduces wiring complexity, limits downtime, and simplifies serviceability, delivering safer installations and lower total cost of ownership in industrial automation projects.

FAQs
For hazardous locations, mount the EGF21EPD30 in compliant enclosures (NEMA 12/3/7/9) and follow the IF 1289 instruction sheet for wiring, grounding, and terminations. Ensure the unit is protected from explosion sources and correctly labeled for Class I/II, Division 1 and 2, Class III locations to maintain regulatory compliance.
The device provides 30 A amperage rating, 120 Vac operating voltage, two single-pole breakers, and a 30 mA ground-fault trip. It uses copper-free aluminum housing and is designed for hazardous-area installations with compact dimensions suitable for standard control panels.
Yes. It is designed to meet NEC/CEC requirements for hazardous locations and is compatible with NEMA enclosures rated 12, 3, 7, and 9, enabling compliant installations in a wide range of industrial environments from chemical plants to oil and gas facilities.
Ground fault protection quickly detects leakage current and interrupts power, reducing shock risk to personnel and preventing arc-fault events that can cause unplanned downtime. This translates to safer operation, faster fault isolation, and lower maintenance costs over the system’s lifecycle in continuous-process or safety-critical applications.
Official resources include the IF 1289 installation sheet, EGF series catalog page, UL certification pages, and the Eaton specification sheet for EGF21EPD30. Access these documents to verify installation steps, compliance details, and electrical specifications before field deployment.
