Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS12020061
316L stainless steel construction delivers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and cleanability in chemical, maritime, and food-processing environments. This material choice reduces maintenance costs by resisting pitting, staining, and rust over long service intervals, even in aggressive atmospheres. The result is a rugged enclosure that keeps sensitive controls protected while meeting stringent hygiene and cleanliness requirements in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, and water treatment. In practice, teams gain predictable performance and fewer unplanned replacements, which translates to lower total cost of ownership. IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X rating protect against dust, water jets, and chemical exposure, boosting uptime and reliability in washdown and outdoor settings. Applications include outdoor substations, offshore platforms, and plants with heavy washdowns, ensuring safe operation and compliance with industry safety standards. Ex-CELL design aligned with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards streamlines global deployments by reducing the need for multiple enclosure variants. This is especially valuable in oil and gas, mining, and chemical processing where hazardous-location enclosures must meet precise classifications like Class I, Division 2 and Zone 1. One gland plate and vertical lugs simplify cable entry, mounting, and field upgrades, enabling faster installation and reducing wiring errors in constrained control panels. The 20" x 20" x 6" footprint provides scalable space for drives, controllers, and junctions, while the stainless steel body supports long service life and straightforward maintenance in demanding automation environments.
