FAQs
For hazardous locations, mount the FLB264 WT225 3 in a compliant enclosure with proper enclosure grounding and conduit fittings. Confirm the threaded cover is tightened to spec, use copper-free aluminum components where specified, and ensure the device is integrated into a panel rated for Class I, Division 1/2 and Class II, Division 1/2 environments. Follow NEC/CEC guidelines and UL/CSA references for installation in hazardous areas.
Yes. The FLB264 WT225 3 is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations and aligns with NEC/CEC standards. It supports Class I, Division 1/2, Class II, Division 1/2, and Class III environments, making it appropriate for many oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining applications that require robust protection in hazardous spaces.
Key specifications include a 225 A amperage rating, 600 Vac voltage rating, three-pole configuration, thermal-magnetic trip, JDB frame type, and 2-1/2 inch trade size. The enclosure is copper-free aluminum and the unit ships with an enclosure that integrates the circuit breaker for panel installations in industrial systems.
You can access the FLB Series catalog page for overview and scope, installation instructions IF 1016, the Eaton specification sheet for FLB264 WT225 3, and Canadian certification details. These documents support design validation, safe installation, and compliance verification across North American hazardous-location projects.
The non-interchangeable trip feature provides consistent protection characteristics, aiding predictable maintenance and reducing field calibration needs. The copper-free aluminum enclosure lowers weight and corrosion risk, contributing to longer service life and lower maintenance costs in demanding environments. Coupled with NEC/CEC compliance, this translates to improved uptime and regulatory peace of mind.
