Eaton GUSC3120 40 GB Explosionproof Load Center - Group B

Explosionproof enclosure and rugged Crouse-Hinds construction protect critical circuits in hazardous locations, reducing ignition risk and enabling compliant installations in chemical plants and refineries. Business impact: safer equipment operation, lower downtime due to fewer containment-related incidents. Application: use as the primary protective point for 240 VAC circuits where hazardous classifications apply. The 40A amperage rating with a 1" trade size and two-pole configuration supports essential motor and branch circuits without overfilling panels, delivering space-efficient protection for compact electrical rooms. Business impact: simplified panel design and faster commissioning. Application: retrofit projects and new builds requiring reliable 240 VAC distribution in hazardous areas. Group B rated protection enhances selective coordination with upstream devices, improving fault isolation and limiting system-wide outages. Application: process instrumentation circuits and critical controls where uptime is essential. NEC/CEC compliance paired with Area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12 translates to faster inspections and reduced regulatory risk. Application: facilities in regulated industries with stringent safety standards. The compact dimensions—7.75 in length, 7.81 in height, 5.81 in width—and 18 lb weight simplify installation and retrofit projects with tight footprints. Business impact: easier mounting and expedited project timelines. Material underpins durability in harsh environments, supporting long service life and lower maintenance costs. Application: sustained operation in demanding industrial settings.
