Feature → Business Impact → Application: Explosionproof construction within the JD frame provides intrinsic safety in hazardous locations, reducing risk of ignition and non-operational downtime. This translates to safer plant operations and streamlined permit approvals for oil, gas, and chemical facilities. Application: hazardous-location power distribution panels requiring dependable three-pole protection at 600 Vac, with a 150 A trip setting for negotiated control of fault currents. Feature → Enclosure and mounting flexibility → Business Impact: Bolted/ground joint/gasketed enclosure supports secure seals and easier retrofits in harsh environments, enabling longer maintenance intervals and lower exposure to ingress. Application: retrofits or new builds in moisture, dust, and chemical exposure zones. Feature → Copper-free aluminum enclosure → Business Impact: Lighter weight and corrosion resistance reduce shipping costs and lifecycle corrosion-related maintenance, delivering more predictable operating costs. Application: portable or fixed installations across manufacturing floors or outdoor substations. Feature → Broad certification set → Business Impact: NEC/CEC compliance with Class I, Division 1 & 2 and Class II, Division 1 & 2, Class III and NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9, 12 ensures regulatory alignment and protects against non-compliance penalties. Application: equipment audits and harmonized safety programs. Feature → 70–250 A, 3-pole, 600 Vac rating → Business Impact: Wide amperage range supports scalable protection for feeders and motors, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying spare-part inventories. Application: distribution feeders for motor control centers and process lines. The content reflects real-world installations where explosionproof protection, reliable trip performance, and documented support translate into measurable uptime improvements and cost containment for industrial developers and operators.

FAQs

Yes. The WT150JD36 uses the JD frame type, three-pole configuration, and a 600 Vac rating, designed to fit Eaton Crouse-Hinds EBMB explosionproof assemblies. It integrates with standard enclosure designs and mounting patterns used in hazardous-location installations, simplifying panel upgrading or new builds.
The breaker is rated under NEC/CEC standards with hazard classifications including Class I Division 1 & 2 and Class II Division 1 & 2, plus Class III. NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9, and 12 further define its enclosure performance against dust, moisture, and corrosive exposure.
Key specs include a 600 Vac voltage rating, 70–250 A amperage range, three-pole configuration, and a 150 A trip setting. The enclosure is copper-free aluminum, ensuring durability while keeping weight more manageable for installation and maintenance.
The bolted/ground joint/gasketed enclosure provides robust sealing against ingress, reducing maintenance shutdowns due to weather or dust. Copper-free aluminum resists corrosion, extending service life, and the three-pole design simplifies wiring and fault isolation during servicing.
Official resources include SP3D design packages, EBMB explosionproof catalogs, UL certification reports, installation sheets IF 1150 series, and a dedicated specification sheet. These documents support accurate installation, compliance verification, and future upgrades or expansions.
