Eaton Specification Sheet - LTBK38
Low-profile steel construction with insulated design enables tighter panel layouts and simpler routing for FMC fittings, delivering space savings and faster wiring. In practice, technicians notice reduced mounting clearance in crowded enclosures, which helps prevent interference with nearby components and speeds up commissioning. Straight connector geometry provides predictable alignment and a reliable seal on straight runs, improving installation consistency across panels and reducing field rework. Hazardous location ratings and NEC/CEC compliance ensure regulatory acceptance, with Class I Division 2 and related ratings supporting safe operation in chemical processing, oil and gas, and other demanding environments. Steel material offers rugged durability and corrosion resistance, protecting conductors in harsh plants, washdowns, and outdoor installations. The compact dimensions and light weight simplify inventory management and panel-fill planning, enabling quicker hardware changes and scalable expansion across multiple machines.
