The explosion proof switch is constructed of malleable Aluminum and is offered in feed-through or dead-end configurations, with 1/2" NPT or 3/4" NPT hubs. The EPS-TPS-16A is an explosion proof switch designed for applications in combustible work environments. Capable of handling loads up to 16 amps, this 2-pole unit is rated at 600V AC. Thermal overload protection is provided by a Class 10 Ambient-Compensated Thermal Overload Relay. This feature enables temporary overload at startup, with a Class 10 rating providing up to 10 seconds of overload condition before tripping the circuit. Ambient compensation reduces the possibility of false tripping, by taking the ambient temperature into consideration.
