Eaton Specification Sheet - EBMBA WT30FDB36
Explosion-proof EBMB construction provides intrinsic protection for three-phase power in hazardous areas. This feature reduces the risk of ignition and helps meet strict regulatory requirements, lowering safety incidents and insurance costs. In oil, gas, chemical processing, and mining facilities, it supports continuous operations with confidence in protection. FDB frame and 150A enclosure design support rugged, field-deployable installations. The bolted/ground joint and gasketed cover simplify sealing in harsh environments, while copper-free aluminum reduces weight and corrosion, cutting installation time and maintenance effort. This translates to lower total installed cost and easier upgrades. Electrical performance aligns with broad industrial needs: 600 Vac rating, 10–70 A operating range, and a defined 30 A trip setting for this model. Three-pole configuration supports balanced three-phase protection in typical motor and feeder circuits. Compliance and certifications are built in: NEC/CEC standard, hazardous-location ratings Class I/II/III, and NEMA types 3,3R,4,7,9,12. This combination reduces engineering effort and ensures alignment with customer specs. Compatibility and install advantages are reinforced by available accessories and documentation: SP3D model packages, installation instructions IF1616/IF1149/IF1150, catalog pages, and specification sheets.
