Appleton™ EFD/EFDB and EDS Control Stations and Pilot Lights - PN EFD175NLQ

Appleton‚Ñ¢ EFD/EFDB and EDS Control Stations - Explosionproof Control Stations

The Appleton‚Ñ¢ EFD/EFDB and EDS Series factory sealed control stations are designed for use in hazardous locations where flammable vapors, gases, or combustible dusts are present. These explosionproof and dust-ignitionproof control stations confine arcing within the enclosure, preventing ignition of ignitable atmospheres during motor and equipment control operations. Ideal for electrical distributors and switchgear suppliers, these control stations provide reliable circuit control and selection through a variety of push buttons, selector switches, and pilot lights. They are commonly used in chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries, and other process industries requiring stringent safety standards.
