Eaton EFDC22106 Explosionproof Circuit Breaker - Hazardous

Explosionproof construction using Feraloy iron alloy and a bolted/ground joint enclosure reduces ignition risks in Class I, II, and III environments. This design supports NEC/CEC compliance and helps prevent costly safety incidents during startup and maintenance. It’s well suited for hazardous-area panel installations in oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining facilities where safety and uptime are non-negotiable. With a 30 A amperage rating and a 3/4" trade size, EFDC22106 matches common branch-circuit protections in industrial panels. The two-gang, single-pole through-feed configuration minimizes field wiring time and preserves enclosure integrity, delivering faster installations and lower labor costs. Two-gang enclosures and through-feed wiring provide straightforward retrofit paths for existing systems without major rework, reducing commissioning time and downtime during plant expansions. NEC/CEC standards, along with NEC hazardous ratings (Class I Division 1 & 2, Class II Division 1 & 2, Class III) and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12, give engineers a clear compliance pathway, supporting safe, long-term operation. Dimensions and weight—7.19 in L, 7.13 in H, 5 in W, and 14.42 lb—assist in panel space planning and enclosure selection, while compatibility with standard Eaton/Crouse-Hinds components simplifies stocking and maintenance across facilities.
