FAQs
EHSS3 is designed for 1-inch trade size service entrances within Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds EHSS family. It integrates with standard service entrance heads and caps used in industrial control panels and distribution boards. The aluminum die-cast construction, set-screw closure, and NEC/CEC compliance make it a reliable replacement option for ordinary locations in commercial and light industrial facilities.
The set screw closure provides a positive retention mechanism that resists loosening due to vibration, impact, or equipment startup. This reduces the risk of exposure and maintains a consistent seal around the service entrance. For field technicians, this translates to fewer re-tightening requirements and lower maintenance costs over the life of the installation.
