FAQs

For hazardous locations, ensure proper assessment of Class I, Zone 1 or Division 2 requirements and verify enclosure mounting with vertical lugs for secure, vibration-resistant installation. Use the single gland plate to manage field wiring efficiently, and select appropriate gland types to maintain IP66 protection. Confirm compatibility with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards before commissioning. Follow Eaton’s ENK10673 instructions during setup to avoid compromising certification status.
Key specifications include IP66 ingress protection, NEMA 4X rating, and NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certifications, which collectively support hazardous location installations. The enclosure measures 16x16x8 inches, is made from 316L stainless steel, and includes one gland plate with vertical lugs. Compliance is reinforced by area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations and adherence to standard enclosure construction practices for robust field performance.
Yes. The combination of 316L stainless steel, IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and certifications for hazardous locations makes it well suited for oil and gas, chemical processing, and other harsh industrial environments. Its corrosion resistance, sealed ingress protection, and rugged build reduce maintenance and enable reliable operation in offshore and onshore facilities with stringent regulatory requirements.
The 316L stainless steel construction resists corrosion from chemicals and humidity, reducing maintenance frequency and extending service life. IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes ingress-related failures, which lowers downtime. A single gland plate and vertical lugs simplify wiring and mounting, speeding commissioning and serviceability, while complying with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards for ongoing regulatory assurance.
