Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS12016081
Feature: 316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and high structural integrity in aggressive environments. Business Impact: This materially extends enclosure life, reduces maintenance windows, and lowers total cost of ownership in chemical processing, food and beverage, and offshore applications. Application: The XLVS12016081 Ex-CELL enclosure supports control panels, drive systems, and instrumentation in wash-down, salty air, or caustic atmospheres where durability matters. Feature: IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X rating deliver rugged enclosure performance against water, dust, and mechanical shock. Business Impact: Operators see fewer field failures and safer equipment enclosures in outdoor or plant-floor installations. Application: Ideal for outdoor substations, hazardous-location panels, and automation cabinets in harsh climates. Feature: Comprehensive hazardous-location approvals (NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX; Class I Zone 1, Class I/II Division 2; Area Classification) enable global deployment. Business Impact: Regulatory compliance streamlines procurement and execution across multiple sites, reducing delays and rework. Application: Suitable for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and other high-risk environments. Feature: 20 in x 16 in x 8 in external dimensions with 1 gland plate and vertical lugs for wiring and mounting. Business Impact: Provides ample internal space for control hardware while simplifying cable entry and mounting configurations. Application: Works with standard gland fittings and supports modular expansions or retrofit installs in new-build or retrofit automation projects. Feature: 316L stainless steel construction paired with gasket sealing enables reliable performance in aggressive atmospheres over the long term. Business Impact: Reduces maintenance cycles and enhances safety compliance in regulated industries. Application: Suitable for industries requiring robust, compliant enclosure protection, including pharmaceutical, chemical, and heavy manufacturing.
