Applications:

Factory sealed enclosures are installed in a
rigid metallic conduit system for surface
mounting adjacent to or remote from
equipment being controlled and are used:

• To prevent arcing of enclosed device

from causing ignition of a specific
hazardous atmosphere or atmospheres
external to the enclosure

• In industrial areas such as chemical

plants, oil and gas refineries, paint and
varnish manufacturing plants, gasoline
bulk loading terminals, grain elevators,
grain processing industries, coal
processing or handling areas, or metal
handling or finishing areas where
atmosphere may contain hazardous
gases and/or dust

• In non-hazardous areas where sturdy,

durable enclosures are required

• In conjunction with magnetic starters or

contactors for remote control of motors

Manual motor starting switch enclosures
are used:

• For manual starting of small AC or DC

motors

• To provide manual starting and stopping

and, in the case of units with heaters,
motor running protection

Features:

Factory sealed devices have many distinct
advantages:

• Reduce installation problems

• Eliminate external seals

• Lower installation costs

• Improve safety

• Mounting lugs and taper tapped hubs

with integral bushings

• Large machine screws for fastening

covers to bodies

• Lockout hole for padlock having

hasp is provided

• Close tolerances in machining of wide,

mating flanges and journalled shafts and
bearings produce flametightness of
enclosure joints

• Dead end (EDS) or through feed (EDSC)

hubs –
