Eaton Specification Sheet - NCS12
Two circuits and a dead-end style provide compact power routing and straightforward wiring. This configuration reduces panel footprint and wiring complexity, cutting install time and minimizing field errors in hazardous-location assemblies. It is ideal for control panels serving motors and sensors in challenging environments. Certification and ratings: NEMA ratings 3, 12, 7, 4X and Class I, Division 2 hazard rating enable use in wet, dusty, and corrosive environments. This supports NEC/CEC compliance and reduces rework from nonconforming enclosures. Applications include chemical processing, oil and gas, and water treatment where safety and reliability are critical. Compact dimensions and weight: 3.81 in depth, 7.25 in height, 4.38 in width, and 2.08 lb, the NCS12 is easy to transport and install in tight spaces. This improves logistics and onsite handling, and simplifies retrofits. Applications: portable control stations and field-routing. Hazardous-location ratings: Class I, Division 2 ensures safe operation in hazardous atmospheres; NEC/CEC alignment supports cross-border projects. The result is lower risk of equipment exposure and faster permit approvals. Applications: equipment enclosures near process vessels, chemical plants, and mining sites. Compatibility and installation: designed for 1/2 inch trade size fittings, standard electrical hardware, and straightforward mounting. Benefit: reduces sourcing complexity and ensures compatibility with common control components. Applications: retrofit projects and new builds requiring compliant hazardous-location enclosures.
