FAQs
Yes. This unit provides two 2x2 inch NPT entry ports designed for straightforward conduit routing and secure gland sealing. It is a three-pole, 180A, 690VAC disconnect with an IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure, making it well-suited for retrofits or new installations in harsh environments. Ensure proper gland material and conductor sizing up to 4/0 AWG for reliable terminations.
The switch is rated for 180A and 690 VAC, configured as three-pole with 1 NO contact. It features a fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure rated IP66 and NEMA 4X, suitable for hazardous locations. It supports 40 hp at 690 VAC and 75 hp under certain conditions, with auxiliary wiring up to #12 AWG and large-terminal capacity up to 4/0 AWG.
Ideal for oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and other industrial facilities operating in Zone 1/ Zone 2 or Division 1/Division 2 environments. Its NEC hazardous ratings and IECEx/ATEX certifications ensure compliance while IP66/NEMA 4X enclosures provide robust protection against dust, water, and corrosive exposure common in these industries.
The GHG2660006L0002 carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, confirming compliance for hazardous locations. It also has IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, suitable for exterior deployment. These certifications support safe installation, regulatory compliance, and reduced risk during maintenance in demanding environments.
The fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure plus IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes corrosion and enclosure failures, lowering replacement costs. A single, reliable 180A/690VAC switch reduces downtime during isolation, simplifies compliance documentation, and lowers lifecycle costs for facilities with frequent maintenance in harsh conditions.
