Explosionproof construction using Feraloy iron alloy delivers a robust enclosure designed to resist ignition sources in hazardous locations, reducing risk and downtime for critical processes in oil, gas, and chemical plants. Business impact: safer operations and easier audits due to proven material performance and compliance; application: safe power distribution in refineries and mining facilities. 15A, 240V, two-pole duty with a 1" trade size provides a compact yet capable solution, enabling streamlined wiring and minimal panel space requirements. This supports faster panel fabrication and easier mid-project scalability across industrial control systems. The GUSC3120 15’s design minimizes nuisance tripping and simplifies troubleshooting by using a single, clearly defined protection point for branch circuits, improving overall system reliability. Long-term, these features translate into lower maintenance costs and reduced lifecycle risk for hazardous-location installations. The unit’s NEC/CEC compliance, along with UL certification, reinforces regulatory alignment and minimizes rework during inspections. Application contexts include chemical processing, offshore platforms, and power distribution in hazardous shop floors. Dimensions and weight—7.75 in depth, 7.81 in height, 5.81 in width, and 11.65 lb—support easy integration into standard enclosures while maintaining mechanical robustness for rugged field conditions. The assembly’s 1" trade size facilitates compatibility with common wiring methods, enabling straightforward retrofits and faster project ramp-up.

FAQs

When installing the GUSC3120 15 in hazardous locations, follow NEC/CEC guidelines for Class I and II environments. Ensure proper enclosure integrity, use rated gaskets and seals, and mount in a location with adequate ventilation. The unit’s 1" trade size and 240 VAC rating should be matched to the panel design, with a single two-pole breaker configured for 15A circuits to minimize wiring complexity and maximize reliability.
The GUSC3120 15 is built to NEC/CEC requirements for hazardous locations and carries UL certification documentation for explosionproof performance. Its hazardous-location ratings cover Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, with corresponding NEMA protections. This combination reduces compliance risk and streamlines the approval process for regulated industrial facilities.
Yes. The GUSC3120 15 is a 1" trade-size load center configured as a two-pole device with a single 15A breaker. Its compact footprint (7.75 in D, 7.81 in H, 5.81 in W) and 11.65 lb weight support straightforward mounting in typical control panels or explosion-protected enclosures, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike.
This load center excels in hazardous-location applications such as chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and refinery electrical panels. Its explosionproof design and NEC/CEC compliance ensure reliable protection for critical circuits in challenging environments, enabling safer operation, reduced ignition risk, and easier regulatory audits during project commissioning.
The GUSC3120 15 offers a durable construction with limited moving parts and UL/NEC/CEC compliance, translating to lower maintenance needs and reduced downtime. While initial procurement may be higher due to certification costs, the long-term ROI includes improved safety, fewer field recalls, easier serviceability, and longer service life in hazardous locations.
