Eaton Specification Sheet - EPC604 2042 WT175 3
Feature: Interlocked receptacle with built-in breaker. The integrated interlock ensures power is automatically isolated before access, reducing arc flash risk and speeding maintenance tasks. This design eliminates the need to source separate interlocks and breakers, saving panel space and installation time. Application: Ideal for large industrial equipment and safety-critical zones where controlled energization is mandatory. Feature: 200 A amperage with a 175 A circuit breaker inside a 225 A frame. This configuration supports high inrush loads without external accommodations, improving startup reliability. The enclosure protects breakers from dust, moisture, and impact, extending service life. Application: Feeds to heavy machinery, process lines, and motor control centers in petrochemical, mining, and manufacturing facilities. Feature: Copper-free aluminum construction with spring door receptacle style. The material choice reduces corrosion risks in aggressive environments and lowers weight for easier field handling. The spring door protects contacts from contaminants while enabling quick access for maintenance. Application: Outdoor installations and harsh indoor locations where corrosion resistance and reliability are critical. Feature: Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification with NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12. This guarantees regulatory alignment and acceptance by authorities having jurisdiction. The unit is designed for Class I, Division 1 & 2, Class II, Division 1 & 2, and Class III environments, reducing the risk of non-compliance during audits. Application: Explosion-protected receptacles for chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities. Feature: Interchangeable thermal trip and 3" trade size for versatility. The adjustable trip improves selectivity and protection, while standard 3" wiring reduces field adaptation cost. The combination with spring door and integrated breaker supports fast retrofits and simplified stocking. Application: Retrofit projects and new installations with common dimensions and interchangeable parts to minimize downtime.
