FAQs
The GHG2736000L0001 is certified for hazardous/classified locations under NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX, with an IP66 ingress rating. It supports Class I and Class II classifications, including Zone 1/2 and Division 1/2 configurations, making it appropriate for chemical plants, refineries, and other harsh industrial environments. Its Ex-protected design helps ensure compliance with global safety standards while maintaining reliable control of lighting circuits in demanding facilities.
Installation utilizes a 1 x 1/2" NPT entry for conduit or cable fitting, with a thermoplastic enclosure that houses a 3-way switch and a built-in process connection. It is rated for 250 VAC and 16 A, allowing straightforward wiring for multi-location lighting control. The compact dimensions and established mounting pattern simplify retrofit or new-panel installation in hazardous locations, reducing commissioning time and field labor costs.
Yes. The GHG2736000L0001 is specifically configured for 3-way operation with a built-in switch, enabling multi-point switching in hazardous locations without needing separate components. This reduces wiring complexity, stock-keeping, and potential points of failure, while delivering consistent performance across all switching points in demanding industrial applications.
The Ex-protected design and IP66 enclosure guard against dust and water ingress, significantly lowering maintenance frequency in outdoor or wash-down areas. Certifications (NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX) support regulatory compliance, while thermoplastic construction resists chemical attack. These factors translate into longer service intervals, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership for critical lighting control in hazardous facilities.
