Eaton Specification Sheet - EMN26 W025
IEC manual pushbutton starter design provides straightforward local control while reducing system complexity and maintenance costs. Business impact: faster start/stop operations and simpler wiring, improving uptime in hazardous environments. Applications: typical in oil, gas, and chemical processing lines where reliable control is essential and downtime is costly. The 25 A rating supports a broad motor subset, from 2 HP to 20 HP, at 115–600 Vac, enabling OEMs to standardize on a single device across multiple lines. This reduces spare parts and training requirements, while ensuring compliance with IEC and NEC standards for hazardous locations. Copper-free aluminum construction enhances corrosion resistance in damp or aggressive atmospheres, extending service life and cutting replacement cycles in outdoor or wash-down areas. Installation efficiency is improved by the starter-integrated enclosure, which minimizes panel space usage and wiring complexity in control cabinets. The EMN26 W025 is a compatible element within the Cutler-Hammer EMN family, offering proven performance in retrofit projects and new builds alike.

The EMN26 W025 supports 2 HP through 20 HP motors with a continuous 25 A amperage rating. Its voltage range spans 115 to 600 Vac, enabling compatibility with a wide variety of motor-control circuits in industrial facilities. This broad spec set reduces the need for multiple starters and helps standardize motor control across equipment.
Yes. EMN26 W025 is specifically rated for hazardous/classified locations, with NEC hazardous ratings including Class I Division 1/Zone 1 and appropriate NEMA protection (3, 4, 7, 9). Its copper-free aluminum housing and explosionproof construction make it well-suited for chemical, petrochemical, and refinery environments where stringent safety standards apply.
EMN26 W025 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and hazardous-location ratings (Class I, Division 1; Zone 1; Division 2; Class II and III equivalents). It aligns with NEMA ratings 3, 4, 7, 9 and is supported by UL certification documentation. This combination ensures regulatory adherence and safer operation in demanding industrial environments.
Maintenance is streamlined by using a robust EMI pushbutton starter with an integrated enclosure, reducing field wiring and cabinet space. Replacement pushbuttons and instruction sheets (IF 1661) are readily available, supporting quick field service. The copper-free aluminum construction and IEC/NEC compliance contribute to longer service life, lower downtime, and a favorable total cost of ownership for OEMs and service providers.
