EID Explosionproof Switch - Eaton EIDA3060 UL Listed

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.
