Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS11212081
316L stainless steel enclosure: The 316L stainless steel body delivers superior corrosion resistance in chemical, coastal, and wash-down environments, extending service life and reducing maintenance. In practice, users in oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment gain reliable protection for drives, controllers, and cabinets. Businesses realize lower replacement costs and fewer downtime events. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection: The combination ensures robust ingress protection against dust, water jets, and corrosive sprays. For hazardous locations, this reduces sealing failures and prevents interior contamination, enabling longer intervals between service checks. Footprint and gland plate: The 12" x 12" x 8" footprint fits standard control panels; one gland plate simplifies cable entry, reduces custom machining, and improves seal integrity. Vertical lugs and installation practicality: Vertical lugs offer adaptable mounting options in tight spaces and faster field installation, with easier wiring access during maintenance. Compliance and lifecycle cost: IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC certifications support global deployments, while stainless steel enclosure reduces maintenance costs and extends asset life.
