Eaton Specification Sheet - GHG6351101L0106
Fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure delivers chemical resistance and rugged mechanical strength, reducing enclosure damage in washdowns and exposure to corrosives. This translates into fewer field failures and longer service life in process plants and offshore facilities. Amperage rating of 1.00–1.60 A targets small to mid-size motors, cutting over-sizing waste and energy use while keeping control circuit complexity low. The choice aligns with common starter sizing practices in packaging lines, water treatment, and light-duty pumping applications. IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure protection protect internal components from dust, water jets, and harsh cleaning protocols. This capability supports reliable operation in food processing, chemical handling, and outdoor installations where washdown is routine. Hazardous location certifications IECEx/ATEX and NEC Class I/II approvals simplify installation in Zone 1/2 and Division 1/2 environments. This reduces the need for multiple part numbers and accelerates procurement for global projects in petrochemical, mining, and refining sectors. Compact 5.51 in L × 8.86 in H × 6.14 in W footprint with a 6.83 lb weight enables easy panel integration and reduced control cabinet footprint. The fiberglass body helps withstand vibration and temperature swings common in industrial environments. Availability of catalog pages and datasheets ensures quick engineering validation and standardization across projects; compatibility with Eaton's GHG635 family supports streamlined spare parts management.

FAQs
To install, verify the enclosure rating and approvals for your hazardous area, mount the starter in a compliant panel, and route wiring with proper separation from pumps and heat sources. Use the datasheet torque values, seal the enclosure, and connect control wiring to the correct terminals. Ensure conduit fittings are rated for the environment and perform a dry-run test prior to live operation.
The unit provides an amperage rating of 1.00–1.60 A, suitable for small to mid-size motors. It comes in an IP66 enclosure with NEMA 4X protection, offering robust dust and water ingress resistance. The fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing further enhances chemical resistance and durability in challenging environments such as washdown zones and outdoor installations.
Yes. The GHG6351101L0106 is certified for NEC Class I, Division 2 and Zone 1/Zone 2, backed by IECEx/ATEX approvals. This enables compliant installation in explosive atmospheres commonly found in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities, reducing the need for multiple device types across a global project.
The starter carries IECEx/ATEX hazardous location certifications and NEC/CEC approvals, along with IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure ratings. These certifications verify suitability for explosive atmospheres and harsh environments, simplify procurement across international sites, and support safer, compliant electrical installations.
Its robust fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing and sealed IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure reduce corrosion and ingress-related failures, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Standardized ratings and sizes streamline spares and parts management, accelerating commissioning and reducing total cost of ownership in process industries.
