The six-pole configuration with an 80A rating and dual voltage capability provides comprehensive isolation for multi-circuit control. This consolidates devices, reduces panel footprint, and lowers wiring complexity— translating to faster installation and lower labor costs. It suits 3-phase motor circuits and heavy-duty feeders where a single, centralized disconnect is required. IP66 protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure guard against dust, water jets, and corrosive washdown environments. The result is extended service life and less frequent maintenance, reducing downtime in rugged plants. This makes it a robust choice for hazardous locations like chemical plants and mining operations where enclosure integrity is critical. With 2 x 1-1/2 inch NPT entries, wiring and conduit routing are flexible and straightforward. This simplifies field wiring, shortens installation time, and supports retrofit projects where space is constrained or existing conduits must be reused. It also facilitates neat cable management and predictable maintenance access. Fiberglass-reinforced polyester construction delivers chemical resistance and lightweight handling without sacrificing strength. Combined with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX compliance, this material choice supports long service life in harsh environments, reducing replacement cycles and total cost of ownership. The enclosure is designed to withstand temperature swings and mechanical shock typical in industrial plants. Auxiliary features include a 1 NC contact configuration, plus #12 AWG auxiliary and #2 AWG terminals, enabling straightforward integration with modern control schemes. The six-pole switch is compatible with Eaton Crouse-Hinds accessory ecosystem, simplifying spare parts management and service.

FAQs

Ensure the switch is mounted in an IP66/NEMA 4X rated enclosure suitable for Hazardous/Classified Locations. Route power and control wiring through the 2 x 1-1/2" NPT entries with adequate clearance for future expansion. Use proper grounding and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Refer to the GHG26 installation guide and IECEx/ATEX compatibility notes for site-specific conduit requirements.
The GHG2640021L0002 is rated for 80A and 690 Vac / 120 Vdc, with a six-pole configuration and a fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure. It carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications, plus IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for hazardous locations across global facilities.
Yes. The combination of hazardous-location certifications (IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC), IP66/NEMA 4X ratings, and rugged FG-reinforced enclosure makes it appropriate for oil and gas sites. The 80A rating supports mid‑sized feeders and motor control, while the 2 x 1-1/2" entries simplify field wiring in compact installations typical of offshore platforms or refineries.
It complies with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards and is listed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with IP66 protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure. This broad certification footprint reduces the need for multiple regional variants, simplifies documentation, and supports safer, compliant installation across international sites and supply chains. Manufacturer service bulletins also help ensure ongoing compliance with local codes.
Fiberglass-reinforced polyester construction resists corrosion and wear, extending service life in harsh environments and lowering replacement costs. Its robust enclosure minimizes downtime due to weathering, while standard wiring entries and a six-pole design reduce panel size and labor. Over the project lifetime, this translates to predictable maintenance, fewer spare parts, and a favorable total cost of ownership.
