ENK10673 Ex-Cell Operating Instructions
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Ex-CELL enclosure uses 316L stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance that lowers maintenance costs and extends service life in chemical and offshore environments, enabling longer intervals between inspections in hazardous locations. This design supports 610 x 610 x 254 mm footprint with three gland plates and horizontal lugs, which translates to flexible cabling layouts and quicker terminations in control panels for high-density installations. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings deliver proven protection against dust, water jets, and harsh weather, reducing equipment exposure risk and warranty claims in outdoor process facilities. Compatibility with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards ensures global applicability, simplifying procurement for multinational projects and easing regulatory compliance for hazardous-area controls. The 400 A rating communicates readiness for high-current applications, enabling scalable motor starters, drives, and switchgear integrations without enclosure upgrades, while 316L stainless steel maintains aesthetic and structural integrity in corrosive environments. Installation is streamlined by horizontal lugs and standard gland plates, lowering field welding and reducing total installed cost. In practice, engineers report faster project execution and lower maintenance overhead when selecting Ex-CELL stainless steel enclosures for hazardous-location automation.

FAQs
For hazardous-location installations, plan mounting on a sturdy, level base and align with the 610 x 610 mm footprint. Use the three gland plates to route cables efficiently and configure horizontal lugs for convenient cabinet-to-cable transitions. Ensure enclosure is sealed per IP66/NEMA 4X requirements, and comply with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards for Zone 1 and Division 2 classifications. Allow clearances for heat dissipation and safe access for maintenance.
The Ex-CELL enclosure employs 316L stainless steel with sealed joints to prevent ingress, achieving IP66 for water and dust protection and NEMA 4X for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It is certified for hazardous locations under IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC, supporting Class I Zone 1 and Class II Division 2 installations. These ratings translate to extended outdoor service life, reduced maintenance, and compliant operation in offshore, chemical, and refining facilities.
Yes. The enclosure is designed for hazardous locations with Class I Zone 1 and Class II Division 2 ratings, IECEx/ATEX certification, and a durable 316L stainless steel construction. Its IP66/NEMA 4X protection and three gland plates support robust cabling for high-current applications up to 400 A, making it suitable for motor control, drives, and panel assemblies in chemical processing, oil and gas, and petrochemical facilities.
Verify IECEx and ATEX certifications for explosive atmospheres, NEC/CEC compliance for North American electrical codes, and the NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings for enclosure protection. The product also specifies Hazardous/Classified Locations as area classification, with NEC hazardous ratings including Class I Zone 1 and Class II Division 2. Cross-check the listed certificates and declaration of conformity documents provided by Eaton for records and audit readiness.
The 316L stainless steel Ex-CELL enclosure resists corrosion, reducing repainting and enclosure replacements in harsh environments, which lowers lifecycle costs. Its IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes contamination ingress and reduces downtime during washdowns or rain exposure. The three gland plates and horizontal lug design simplify field wiring and future upgrades, accelerating install times and enabling scalable automation—delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for hazardous-location control panels.
