Eaton Crouse-Hinds NCS22 Enclosure - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: NCS22
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds NCS22 enclosure protects electrical components in hazardous locations, enabling safe, compliant control systems for harsh industrial environments. In field deployments, downtime from ingress, corrosion, or miswired terminations can derail production schedules; this enclosure mitigates those risks with robust shielding and precise terminations. It carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I, Division 2 ratings and a demanding NEMA profile that includes 3, 4X, 7, and 12 protection. Designed for two circuits at a 3/4" trade size, it supports compact automation layouts while preserving accessibility for maintenance. This combination translates to reduced outage windows, lower maintenance costs, and predictable performance across multiple sites. For engineers and procurement teams, it simplifies sourcing without compromising safety or reliability.
