Eaton Specification Sheet - GUSC2013 MS
Explosionproof protection with a three-pole design delivers enhanced safety in hazardous locations, reducing risk of ignition while enabling straightforward integration into existing control panels. The 3/4" trade size and through-feed style support compact, modular installations, improving wiring efficiency and reducing panel footprint. Wide voltage coverage—from 120 to 600 VAC and up to 250 VDC—coupled with 20 A/30 A amperage and HP ratings of 3/7.5/15 enable a single starter to cover a broad range of motor loads, lowering spare-part inventory and maintenance complexity. The rugged Feraloy iron alloy housing withstands harsh industrial conditions, delivering longevity and lower lifecycle costs. NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location certifications (Class I/II/III) alongside NEMA 3/7/9/12 protection simplify procurement, audits, and integration into safety programs. Through-feed wiring and a compact footprint also streamline panel assembly timelines, reducing installation time and field wiring errors. This combination of durability, versatility, and compliance translates into measurable uptime gains and reduced maintenance calls for mission-critical motors in harsh environments.
