Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS12020081B
316L stainless steel body delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and offshore installations. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer unscheduled outages in critical automation panels. The Ex-CELL design aligns with demanding process environments where moisture, salt spray, and harsh cleaners are common. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection provide robust ingress control against dust, water jets, and corrosive exposure. That reliability matters in washdown areas, outdoor cabinets, and highly automated process lines. The XLVS12020081B supports straightforward field servicing with standardized mounting hardware and a secure gasket system, simplifying retrofits and new installs alike in tough environments. Global compliance is a core strength, with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications that cover Zone 1, Division 2 and related hazardous locations. This reduces the need for multiple enclosures across sites and helps ensure safe, code-compliant operation of motor starters, drives, and PLCs. The enclosure also supports strict area classifications for classified locations, delivering predictable performance under demanding conditions. One gland plate reduces field modification costs by simplifying cable entry and interior wiring. Clean, organized layouts improve heat management and enable faster commissioning of panels containing I/O modules and control electronics. The design also accommodates future expansion without substantial rework in constrained spaces. Hinged and bolted cover enables rapid access for maintenance with minimal risk to seal integrity. This approach lowers downtime during inspections and component swaps while preserving environmental protection. The vertical lugs plus the 20 x 20 x 8 inch footprint fit neatly into standard industrial cabinets, supporting reliable integrations with existing control systems.
