Eaton Specification Sheet - EVIBX3501
Explosionproof construction and hazardous-location certification reduce risk and ensure regulatory compliance, translating to safer operations and lower insurance costs in oil and gas, chemical, and mining environments. The robust design enables predictable performance under volatile conditions, supporting uptime and workforce safety in live process areas. In practice, contractors can deploy EVIBX3501 in retrofit or new-build projects with confidence that code requirements are met and service intervals can be extended. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection guard against moisture, dust, and corrosion, delivering lower maintenance cycles and fewer field failures in washdown zones, offshore platforms, or outdoor industrial sites. The copper-free aluminum guard and base resist corrosion in aggressive atmospheres, improving durability where humidity and chemicals are prevalent. With a Mogul base, PS-40 lamp compatibility, and 277 Vac operation, installation is straightforward and compatible with existing electrical infrastructures, reducing project risk and commissioning time. Factory sealing and a heat- and impact-resistant glass globe further minimize breakage and service calls, enabling reliable lumen output across temperature ranges and simplifying inventory management for maintenance teams.

FAQs
EVIBX3501 is designed for wall mounting in Class I Division 1 / Zone 1 environments, with a 1" trade size and Mogul base. Installers should ensure proper enclosure rating, secure mounting to withstand vibration, and confirm power supply is 277 Vac. The unit is factory sealed and water/dust protected (IP66, NEMA 4X), reducing field entry and maintenance needs.
EVIBX3501 carries NEC/CEC compliance, Class I Division 1 / Zone 1, Class II / Class III ratings, NEMA 4X, and IP66 protection. These certifications matter because they confirm suitability for hazardous locations, provide safety guarantees for personnel, and support compliance with industry codes in oil/gas, chemical processing, and mining facilities.
Yes, EVIBX3501 operates at 277 Vac and is rated for 500 W incandescent load. It uses a Mogul base (E39) and supports PS-40 maximum lamp size, enabling straightforward integration with existing electrical infrastructure and retrofit projects without specialized transformers.
The factory-sealed design minimizes ingress of moisture and dust, reducing corrosion risk and field failures. Combined with copper-free aluminum components and a heat-resistant glass globe, the fixture delivers longer service life, fewer maintenance visits, and lower total cost of ownership in challenging environments.
ROI comes from reduced maintenance cycles due to rugged sealing and corrosion resistance, lower replacement rates in harsh atmospheres, and reliable performance in Class I/Zone 1 areas. While initial cost may be higher than standard fixtures, lifecycle savings from extended service life and fewer downtime incidents can be substantial in petrochemical and mining operations.
