Feature → Business Impact → Application: 60A amperage rating with non-fused switch support enables direct short-circuit isolation for moderate to large motors at 240–600 Vac or 250 Vdc, reducing fault-scope and unplanned downtime in hazardous locations. This translates to faster maintenance windows and improved motor protection in chemical processing, oil & gas, and mining applications. Feature → Copper-free aluminum enclosure improves corrosion resistance in harsh environments, lowering replacement intervals and extending service life in outdoor substations or wash-down areas. Application: outdoor chemical plants, offshore platforms, and hazardous-area indoor rooms. Feature → Auxiliary contact (single block) provides signaling and interlock capability, enabling safer remote interlock schemes and condition monitoring. Application: control panels and PLC signaling loops where reliable feedback is essential. Feature → Breather and drain assemblies manage moisture ingress and condensation, preserving switching integrity and extending switch life in humid or high-velocity airflow areas. Application: continuous-duty operations in humid facilities and coke/thermal plants. Feature → HP rating of 10/20/40 HP complements 60A capability for motor control versatility, supporting a broad range of load profiles without changing hardware. Application: pumps, fans, and conveyors in hazardous locations. Feature → Enclosure type With switch offers integrated switching functionality, simplifying installation and reducing components count, while meeting NEC/CEC requirements. Application: fleet of compact, compliant disconnects in hazardous-area switchgear. Feature → NEMA ratings (7, 9, 3R, 3, 4) provide confidence across varied environmental conditions, from corrosive atmospheres to rugged industrial settings. Application: industrial plants requiring durable hazardous-location equipment. Feature → 10.47 in length, 12.47 in height, 9.65 in width and 36 lb weight deliver a compact, serviceable footprint that fits standard electrical enclosures, enabling easier retrofits and replacement in existing panels. Application: panel upgrades and space-constrained installations. These features collectively support improved regulatory compliance, reduced maintenance costs, and higher uptime in hazardous-location motor-control scenarios.

FAQs
The EIDA3060 is designed as an with-switch enclosure for hazardous locations and fits standard disconnector footprints used in many Crouse-Hinds installations. Its copper-free aluminum body, integrated breather and drain, and 10.47 in x 12.47 in x 9.65 in footprint simplify retrofit upgrades. Ensure panel openings match the unit’s dimensions, and wire per NEC/CEC guidelines, using the auxiliary contact for signal feedback to the control system.
This model is rated for 60A with a 10/20/40 HP range and supports 240–600 Vac or 250 Vdc. It is non-fused and includes an auxiliary contact for signaling. These specs enable direct switching of common motor loads used in hazardous environments without external fusing, while maintaining compatibility with standard control circuits and motor starters.
Yes. The device is certified for Hazardous/Classified Locations and carries NEC/CEC compliance with NEC hazardous ratings covering Class I, Division 1 and Zone 1, among others. It also aligns with NEMA 7/9/3R/3/4 configurations, making it suitable for a broad range of explosive atmospheres found in oil, gas, and chemical facilities.
The EIDA3060 carries UL certification for explosion-proof operation in hazardous locations, NEC/CEC standards alignment, and relevant NEMA ratings. Area classifications confirm suitability for hazardous environments, while the product literature provides installation guidance and UL/Canada certifications. This combination supports seamless regulatory approvals and safer plant operation.
Maintenance benefits include reduced downtime due to robust copper-free aluminum construction and integrated breather/drain that mitigate moisture-related degradation.
