Eaton Specification Sheet - NCDC22
Through-feed design with a 3/4 inch trade size enables direct rear wiring access. This reduces install time and field modification costs by minimizing entry points, grommets, and routing turns. It’s ideal for compact automation panels and MSR suffix configurations where dense wiring and fast commissioning are constants. NEC/CEC compliance and Class I, Division 2 hazardous location ratings are embedded in the NCDC22, ensuring code-conforming protection from day one. This alignment with recognized standards reduces risk of non-compliance penalties and accelerates customer audits and commissioning. It is well-suited for chemical processing, oil and gas, and other environments with stringent safety requirements where downtime is costly. NEMA 3 4X 7 12 ratings provide robust protection against dust, water ingress, corrosion, and mounting vibration in challenging environments. The rugged enclosure extends service life in outdoor or washdown environments, lowering replacement and maintenance costs. Typical applications include outdoor control panels, marine facilities, and industrial facilities exposed to harsh elements where reliability is paramount. Two-circuit capacity ensures essential power and signal wiring fit within a single enclosure without forcing multiple enclosures. Its compatibility with MSR1 or MSR2 suffixes simplifies integration with Eaton Crouse-Hinds control stations and minimizes overall part counts. Use cases include motor starters, small PLC panels, and machine-automation assemblies in hazardous areas to streamline procurement. Compact dimensions—3.81 in depth, 7.25 in height, and 4.38 in width—combined with a light 2.75 lb weight enable predictable space planning in tight panels. Engineers benefit from straightforward installation, reduced mounting hardware, and easier field maintenance with clearly labeled entries. This enclosure supports faster project completion and lower total cost of ownership in industrial automation deployments where compliance and uptime are critical. For maintenance teams, readily available MSR specification documentation and the Eaton catalog pages simplify procurement decisions.
