Eaton FLB115 WT30 2 - Explosionproof Circuit Breaker

Explosionproof construction within the FLB115 WT30 2 delivers immediate business value by enabling safe operation in the most demanding zones. The unit’s FLB series design meets strict hazardous-location requirements, reducing ignition risk and ensuring reliable shutdown during fault events. In chemical processing, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing, that protective margin translates into fewer emergency interventions and improved personnel safety when panels live in Zone 1 and Zone 2 locations. Thermal-magnetic protection with a 30 A rating and 600 Vac/250 Vdc capability provides precise overload clearing and fast short-circuit interruption. This improves motor and feeder protection, lowers equipment wear, and minimizes productivity interruptions caused by nuisance trips. In practice, panel builders can design with confidence: the two-pole configuration matches common motor-control circuits, while the FDB frame aligns with standard installation footprints. Frame compatibility and mounting simplicity come from the 1-1/4" trade size and threaded enclosure cover. This means easier integration with existing Eaton Crouse-Hinds enclosures and reduced field wiring complexity. Installation teams save time on alignment and hardware stocking because the unit follows familiar dimensions and mounting standards, helping reduce project lead times and commissioning risk in large-scale panel builds. Copper-free aluminum enclosure offers corrosion resistance and lighter weight without sacrificing strength, ideal for exposed outdoor or damp environments. The threaded cover provides a robust seal against dust and moisture, which improves reliability in dusty industrial plants and offshore locations. Combined with non-interchangeable trip, this design prevents accidental module swaps and ensures the protection setting remains constant over service life. Regulatory alignment and dependable performance are enhanced by the NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-area ratings, including Class I/II/III, plus NEMA 3, 4, 7, 9. These certifications simplify approvals, streamline procurement, and support consistent worldwide deployment. In practice, operators gain predictable protection for critical circuits, with easier maintenance planning and better total cost of ownership over the life of the installation.
