Eaton GUSC2052 AH Snap Switch - Hazardous Locations

Explosion-proof feraloy iron alloy enclosure delivers robust protection for hazardous locations, reducing ignition risk and unplanned downtime in Class I/II environments. This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and longer service life for critical drives. It’s ideal for motor control cabinets in refineries, chemical plants, and mining facilities where safety and uptime are non-negotiable. Two-pole configuration with 20A/30A and 2 HP supports direct motor switching, eliminating extra contactors in many small to mid-size systems. The 250/600 Vac rating aligns with common industrial power systems, enabling clean integration in new builds or retrofits. The combination improves control reliability while reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity. Through-feed design with 2 x 3/4 in NPT entries offers flexible wiring routes and faster field installation, especially in tight spaces. At 6.06 in long, 6.19 in high, and 4.13 in wide, it provides a compact yet rugged footprint for retrofit projects without compromising protection. The 7.88 lb weight balances handling ease with mechanical durability. Certified for hazardous locations, this snap switch carries UL certification and NEC/CEC compliance, with area classification for Class I, Division 1 & 2 and Class II, Division 1 & 2, plus a NEMA rating lineup of 3/7/9/12. This breadth of certification supports cross-industry acceptance in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining applications, streamlining procurement and installation. Documentation and support underpin deployment: IF 1712 installation instructions, a dedicated GUSC series catalog page, and specification sheets provide clear field guidance. Engineers benefit from authoritative datasheets for wiring diagrams, torque values, and mounting references, reducing commissioning time and ensuring consistent performance across sites.
