Eaton Specification Sheet - EPC604 2042 WT225 3
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EPC604 2042 WT225 3 comes as an interlocked receptacle with an integrated 225A frame and 200A amperage rating, reducing installation steps and minimizing field wiring errors while delivering safe, controlled power shutoff. This directly translates to lower commissioning time and improved uptime in hazardous locations such as chemical plants and oil refineries. Application: Use in hazardous area outlets where interlocked operation is mandatory to prevent energizing equipment during maintenance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Interchangeable thermal trip enables site-specific trip characteristics without replacing the entire assembly, cutting service costs and downtime. Application: Ideal for plants that routinely calibrate protective settings for variable loads or replacement cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper-free aluminum enclosure delivers corrosion resistance and lighter weight, reducing handling risk and mounting effort in offshore, chemical, or mining installations. Application: Suitable for harsh environments where material compatibility and ease of installation matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Receptacle style with spring door and grounding Style 2, plus a 3" trade size, provides straightforward mounting, reliable seal integrity, and compatibility with standard EPC interlocked configurations. Application: Fast, maintenance-friendly integration in switchgear and control panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance, NEMA ratings 3/7/9/12, and area-classification readiness (Hazardous/Classified Locations) reduce regulatory risk and support faster approvals. Application: Essential for projects in chemical, oil & gas, mining, and other hazardous sites where safety certifications drive procurement. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Includes a 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating and 3-wire, 4-pole configuration, enabling versatile power delivery for large, multi-pole circuits while maintaining safety margins. Application: Critical for high-amperage equipment feeding across plant sections with diverse load profiles.

FAQs
Install the EPC604 2042 WT225 3 within a compliant enclosure designed for hazardous locations, following the NEC/CEC guidelines. Use the 3" trade size and ensure proper grounding (Style 2) and the built-in interlock is correctly mated with the associated circuit breaker. Verify the 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating matches system voltage and confirm UL certification for hazardous environments.
Key specs include 200A amperage rating for the receptacle and a 225A circuit breaker frame, 3-wire, four-pole configuration, 600 Vac / 250 Vdc voltage rating, copper-free aluminum enclosure, and a 2-pole interlock with a spring door design. It is built to support the 225A frame and 200A load within a hazardous location environment.
Yes. The unit supports NEC hazardous ratings covering Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, with area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations per NEC/CEC. It also aligns with NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, and 12 for rugged service in harsh industrial areas.
It complies with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations, carries UL certification for explosionproof interlocked receptacles in hazardous environments, and meets NEMA ratings 3/7/9/12. Its design also supports area-classification requirements for Hazardous/Classified Locations, helping ensure regulatory compliance across projects.
Interchangeable thermal trip simplifies field maintenance without swapping assemblies, reducing downtime and service costs. Copper-free aluminum reduces corrosion risk and weight for easier handling. The integrated breaker and spring-door receptacle design streamline installation and ongoing maintenance, delivering long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership in hazardous-area installations.
