No. The WLRD-6-20 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with NEC/CEC standards. It is designed to provide protection in standard industrial environments with moisture exposure but should not be used in Classified or Hazardous locations without a device specifically rated for those conditions.
The unit supports a 20A amperage rating at 250 V AC, with a NEMA 6-20R configuration and a 1-3/8 inch opening diameter. It is intended for non-locking blade plugs and copper-free aluminum construction, suitable for moderate to high-load applications in damp environments.
The WLRD-6-20 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and UL wet-location certification, with an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification. These certifications support regulatory compliance, safe operation in moisture-prone environments, and easier approvals for industrial facilities dating from US and Canada markets.
The copper-free aluminum construction minimizes corrosion-related degradation, reducing maintenance intervals and replacement costs. Its rugged design and straightforward installation lower labor costs during upgrades or retrofits, while NEC/CEC compliance helps prevent non-compliance penalties. Overall, the WLRD-6-20 offers lower total cost of ownership in moisture-prone industrial settings.
