Eaton EPC43042 WT30 3 Interlocked Receptacle - Hazardous Locations

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EPC43042 WT30 3 interlocked receptacle includes a built-in 30A circuit breaker, ensuring energization only when the door is closed. This directly reduces the risk of arc flash and unintentional contact during maintenance, lowering safety incidents and shutdowns in explosion-hazard environments. Application: ideal for chemical plants and offshore facilities where control of power to tooling and motors is critical for safety and regulatory compliance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum enclosure with a spring door and non-interchangeable trip provides durable, corrosion-resistant performance in harsh atmospheres, cutting replacement cycles and associated downtime. Application: petrochemical processing and mining operations requiring long-term reliability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Three-wire, four-pole configuration at 480 Vac/250 Vdc supports robust control and safety interlocks across multiple circuits, enabling compliant power distribution in hazardous areas. Application: control panels and remote motor starters in Class I and II locations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 100A frame size and 1-1/4" trade-size receptacle provide scalable power delivery and straightforward installation with standard conduit fittings, reducing field wiring time. Application: new builds and retrofits where quick, code-compliant integration is valued. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance with NEC/CEC and the EPC interlock family reduces regulatory risk and speeds approvals with customers and inspectors. Application: projects in regulated industries requiring formal explosion-protection documentation. Industry-specific context: the EPC43042 WT30 3 aligns with industry best practices for safe interlocked receptacles, supporting maintenance protocols, lockout-tagout routines, and reliable uptime in hazardous environments.
