Special features
Breather and drain
Explosionproof construction is a core feature of the EIB series, engineered to resist ignition sources and contain faults in Class I Division 1 environments, Zone 1 locations, and similarly hazardous areas. This design reduces ignition risk, minimizes unplanned downtime, and supports strict regulatory compliance across chemical plants, refineries, mining operations, and other high-hazard facilities where safety is non-negotiable. EG frame with bolted/ground joint enclosure simplifies mounting, enhances enclosure integrity under vibration, and ensures tight seals in dusty or corrosive atmospheres. The result is faster installation, fewer field adjustments, and easier serviceability in panel boards and switchgear without sacrificing protection performance. Copper-free aluminum enclosure reduces weight by substantial margins and offers improved corrosion resistance in outdoor, damp, or chemical-rich environments. That translates to lower installation and maintenance costs, longer service life, and better overall lifecycle cost for projects with frequent inspections or remote locations. Breather and drain features actively manage moisture and pressure differentials inside the enclosure, improving trip reliability and reducing nuisance trips in humid, dusty, or changing ambient conditions. This capability supports continuous operation of motors and feeders in challenging climates while facilitating predictive maintenance planning. 70 A amperage rating with a three-pole configuration delivers balanced protection for distribution circuits, while 600 Vac supports wide motor and equipment interfaces. Coupled with compatibility with Eaton’s EIB explosionproof family and standard EG frame footprints, it reduces parts diversity, accelerates procurement, and simplifies field assembly for reliable, scalable protection.
