Eaton EIBA3015 Explosionproof Circuit Breaker - Hazardous
Part Number: EIBA3015
Quick Summary
EIBA3015 is an explosionproof circuit breaker designed to protect feeders and control panels in hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle to balance robust protection, easy installation, and reliable operation in tough industrial environments. This Eaton unit carries NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification for hazardous areas, along with the NEMA ratings for multiple enclosure types, underscoring its versatility. With a 15 A rating and 600 Vac capacity in an EG frame, it integrates with bolted/ground joint enclosures and copper-free aluminum construction to reduce weight and corrosion. The result is safer electrical distribution, lower maintenance costs, and quicker project approval for OEMs, panel builders, and maintenance teams seeking durable, code-compliant protection.

Explosionproof design for hazardous locations reduces risk and supports safer equipment operation in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and mining sites. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EIBA3015 provides explosionproof integrity and UL/NEC/CEC compliance, which translates to faster field approvals, lower insurance exposure, and reduced incident downtime in hazardous environments. In practice, the 15 A, 600 Vac, three-pole EG frame delivers reliable protection for feeders and control circuits in demanding process areas, enabling tighter control of critical loads and safer panel assemblies. Copper-free aluminum enclosure minimizes corrosion and weight, easing installation and maintenance in tough plant floors. Bolted/ground joint enclosure construction simplifies retrofits and field servicing, while NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, and 9 extend deployment across outdoor cabinets and rugged indoor spaces. These features collectively improve lifecycle cost, uptime, and regulatory confidence for integrators and end users. Long-term, this means fewer spare parts and faster changeouts during plant upgrades while maintaining safety compliance.

FAQs
Yes. The EIBA3015 is designed as a three-pole, 600 Vac circuit breaker in the EG frame, intended for bolted/ground joint enclosure configurations. It comes with an enclosure that accommodates the circuit breaker within hazardous-location assemblies, simplifying integration with Eaton Crouse-Hinds enclosures and standard mounting footprints.
The EIBA3015 complies with NEC/CEC standards and is UL-listed for hazardous locations. It is suitable for Class I, Division 1/2 and Zone 1/2 environments, with additional NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9. These certifications mean it meets critical safety and regulatory requirements for electrical protection in challenging industrial settings.
Ideal for oil and gas facilities, chemical processing, mining, and other facilities requiring explosionproof protection. Its three-pole design, 600 Vac rating, and EG frame are well-suited for main feeders, motor circuits, and process control enclosures in hazardous locations where reliable interrupting performance is essential.
The breaker fits within an enclosure with dimensions approximately 10.47 in (length) x 12.47 in (height) x 7.65 in (width) and weighs about 39 lb. Copper-free aluminum enclosure and bolted/ground joint cover simplify installation and reduce corrosion risk, while the 15 A rating aligns with common control circuit protection needs in harsh environments.
The rugged, explosionproof design coupled with NEC/CEC compliance reduces commissioning time and risk of non-compliance penalties. The copper-free aluminum enclosure lowers maintenance due to corrosion resistance, while NEMA-rated protection and UL listings enable longer service intervals, fewer unscheduled outages, and improved total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.
