FAQs
Install the EFD22106 by housing it in the two-gang enclosure with the bolted/ground joint cover secured to maintain the enclosure's integrity. Mount the single-pole breaker on a suitable support, connect conductors per the 120/240 Vac rating, and verify phase, torque, and clearance per NEC/CEC guidelines. Ensure the assembly remains within approved Class I, Division 1/2 locations to preserve hazardous-area certification.
Key specs include 30 A amperage, 3/4" trade size, 120/240 Vac, and a two-gang enclosure with bolted/ground joint construction. The feraloy iron alloy enclosure provides rugged resistance to impact and temperature cycling, while NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12 confirm suitability for hazardous/classified locations and demanding industrial applications.
Yes. The EFD22106 is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings suitable for exposure to chemicals, dust, and moist environments. Its explosionproof construction, two-gang enclosure, and 120/240 Vac rating make it appropriate for chemical processing rooms, offshore platforms, and other high-risk facilities requiring certified overcurrent protection.
The EFD22106 carries NEC/CEC standards, Hazardous Area ratings (Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III; Class II, Division 1), and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12. These certifications ensure safe operation in hazardous locations, compliance with electrical codes, and compatibility with standard industrial panels, reducing regulatory risk and enabling safer maintenance practices.
Maintenance benefits stem from rugged feraloy enclosure construction, reliable 30 A protection, and a design that minimizes field servicing due to bolted/ground joint integrity. ROI is realized through reduced fault downtime, fewer unplanned trips, and a lower total cost of ownership in hazardous environments, supported by widely available spare parts and proven compatibility with Square D components.
