Eaton Specification Sheet - NCS02
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The NCS02 is a dedicated two-circuit dead-end enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and panel count while maintaining compliance in hazardous locations. This translates to faster commissioning, lower labor costs, and improved reliability for control panels in oil, gas, and chemical environments. Application: Ideal for compact control stations where space is at a premium and regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Its compact footprint—3.81 in depth, 7.25 in height, 4.38 in width—enables easier installation in tight enclosures and on crowded switchgear racks. This supports flexible mounting options and simplified field modifications in existing automation lines without sacrificing protection. Application: Suitable for dead-end configurations where equipment readiness and quick retrofits are essential in plant upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA ratings 3, 4X, 7, 12 and Area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations provide robust environmental protection against moisture, corrosion, and explosive atmospheres. Benefit: Longer service life, reduced maintenance, and safer operation in challenging environments such as chemical plants and mining operations. Application: Enclosures used to house relays, PLC interfaces, and small control components in hazardous zones. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC standards alignment and UL documentation availability support faster approvals and audit readiness. Benefit: Streamlined procurement, consistent compliance across projects, and easier vendor qualification. Application: Critical for engineering teams pursuing standardized, code-compliant enclosure solutions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 2-circuit capacity within a single enclosure minimizes component footprint and wiring runs. Benefit: Lower total installed cost and reduced space requirements in control panels. Application: Control circuitry for motor starters, sensors, and automation modules in hazardous locations.

It incorporates a compact dead-end style and 2-circuit capacity, enabling straightforward field wiring while meeting regulatory requirements. Ensure use with approved gaskets and fittings per installation guidelines to maintain rating integrity.
NCS02 supports 2 circuits and features a dead-end enclosure style. Its approximate dimensions are 3.81 in depth, 7.25 in height, and 4.38 in width, with a weight around 1.7 lb. The UPC is 782274421506, and the catalog number is NCS02, making it easy to identify in procurement systems and on site.
NCS02 is suitable for hazardous locations common to chemical plants and other demanding environments due to its Hazardous/Classified Location rating and NEMA 4X protection. For offshore use, verify specific environmental conditions and mounting requirements; the enclosure offers strong protection, but confirm compatibility with site-specific IP/IEC ratings and any additional certifications.
NCS02 is aligned with NEC/CEC standards and has a Hazardous Area rating of Class I, Division 2, along with NEMA ratings 3, 4X, 7, 12. Verification can be done via the Eaton catalog page for NCS02, UL certification references for hazardous locations, and the provided specification sheet. For formal qualification, consult the UL listings and the latest NEC/CEC compliance literature.
Using the NCS02 can reduce maintenance and lifecycle costs by delivering a rugged, code-compliant enclosure that minimizes field modifications and protects critical control components. The two-circuit configuration lowers panel count and wiring complexity, leading to faster deployment, reduced labor, and lower total installed cost in hazardous environments.
