Eaton Specification Sheet - QBXS2505022UL
Stainless steel 304 construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance in demanding environments, extending enclosure life and reducing replacement costs for chemical plants and offshore installations. The robust material choice supports long-term reliability, enabling maintenance teams to schedule inspections around process-driven downtimes rather than frequent part replacements. Large interior dimensions (19.68 in x 19.68 in x 8.66 in) offer ample space for modern controls, drives, and I/O modules, simplifying layout and reducing panel fabrication time during installations or upgrades. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection deliver dependable ingress protection against dust, water, and washdown exposure, minimizing field failures and downtime in harsh environments. Hazardous-location ratings (Class I, Zone 2; Class II, Division 1/2) ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, enabling safe integration of electrical assemblies in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. At 22.22 lb, the enclosure is manageable for installation, transport, and service contractors, supporting efficient project timelines. The QBX design aligns with common mounting patterns and accessory compatibility, aiding retrofits and future expansions without costly enclosures swaps.
