Quick Summary
GHG2632301L0002 disconnect switch provides rugged isolation for hazardous-location control panels. Engineers often struggle with safe power disconnections in Class I/II, Zone 1/2 environments. This unit meets NEC/CEC compliance, delivers IP66 protection, and carries a NEMA 4X enclosure for tough outdoor and washdown conditions. With 40A rating and dual voltages—690 VAC / 120 VDC—installation is streamlined, reducing wiring errors and downtime. This combination supports reliable isolation in hazardous environments while aligning with cost-effective motor control and preventive-maintenance goals. The compact dimensions and 2 x 3/4 inch NPT entries simplify panel layouts and conduit routing, saving time in retrofit projects. In practice, the GHG26 family is known for durable fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosures that withstand exposure, chemicals, and impact.

FAQs
Plan for three-pole mounting with 2 x 3/4" NPT conduit entries to simplify wiring and enclosure routing. Use auxiliary #12 AWG conductors and #6 AWG terminals for reliable terminations. Ensure compliance with NEC/CEC Class I Division 2 or Zone 1/2 requirements and follow local safety practices for hazardous-area installations.
Yes. The unit carries NEC/CEC standards with hazardous-location ratings including Class I Division 2 and Zone 1/2, making it suitable for regulated environments. Its IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure further protects against dust and water ingress, supporting compliant operation in harsh sites.
Ideal for control panels and motor circuits in hazardous locations, especially where robust isolation is needed. The 40A rating with 690 VAC/120 VDC capability supports medium-duty motor loads up to 15 hp at high voltage and 20 hp at DC, enabling reliable shutdowns in demanding environments.
It features NEC/CEC compliance, hazardous-location ratings (Class I/Division 2, Zone 1/2), IP66 ingress protection, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. These certifications ensure regulatory alignment, improved operator safety, and reduced risk of environmental damage to the switch and connected equipment.
The fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure and sealed design reduce corrosion and washdown-related wear, lowering maintenance costs. The durable construction and reliable IP66/NEMA 4X protection translate to longer service life, fewer replacements, and minimized downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in hazardous-location applications.
