60 A amperage rating paired with a three-pole design provides precise overcurrent protection for feeders in hazardous areas, and the EG frame supports secure mounting in compact panels, reducing panel footprint and enabling consistent trip coordination with upstream devices. Bolted/ground joint enclosure construction coupled with copper-free aluminum resists corrosion and simplifies field repair in aggressive environments, translating to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned outages. NEC/CEC certification and hazardous-location ratings offer immediate compliance visibility during design reviews and inspections; NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9 ensure suitability for indoor and outdoor installations, including dust, water, and vibration exposure. The dimensions—12.53 in depth, 16.53 in height, 9.75 in width—and 58 lb weight assist engineers with enclosure space planning and routing. Industry-facing advantage: explosionproof protection in chemical processing, oil/gas, and mining environments, paired with correct wiring and enclosure, improves uptime and supports regulatory audits.

FAQs
The EIBB3060 is designed for use with Eaton Crouse-Hinds EIB series enclosures and ships as a complete three-pole unit. It packs into standard hazardous-location enclosures with bolted/ground joint covers, enabling straightforward field wiring and secure mounting. Ensure enclosure interior dimensions accommodate the 12.53 in depth and 16.53 in height, and verify mounting provisions align with the EG frame footprint.
Key specs include a 60 A amperage rating, 600 Vac maximum voltage, and three-pole configuration within the EG circuit breaker frame. The enclosure is bolted/ground joint with copper-free aluminum construction. These attributes support reliable protection for feeders and control circuits in hazardous environments while meeting NEC/CEC requirements.
Yes. The unit carries NEC hazardous ratings that include Class I, Division 1, and Zone 1, along with additional Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings. This makes it appropriate for critical hazardous locations in oil, gas, chemical, and other explosive atmospheres when installed with proper enclosures and wiring standards.
The EIBB3060 carries NEC/CEC standards and NOS-style hazardous-location ratings, plus compatible NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals, support safer electrical design in harsh environments, and streamline inspection processes by demonstrating formal compliance for both design and installation.
The copper-free aluminum enclosure and robust bolted construction reduce corrosion-related maintenance and field repairs, lowering lifecycle costs. Reliable performance at 60 A and 600 Vac minimizes unplanned outages, improving uptime metrics in process plants and refineries, and helping justify total cost of ownership during ROIs reviews and compliance audits.
