Crouse-Hinds DSD933 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Crouse-Hinds DSD933 a complete switch, or do I still need an enclosure body?
The DSD933 is a cover and device sub-assembly, meaning it is the snap switch and its cover together, not a finished enclosure. It mounts onto a hazardous-location device body of the matching Crouse-Hinds line, so plan on a body and the conduit hubs for the run as separate line items. Electrically the assembly itself is complete: single-pole, 20A, 120/277 Vac.
2) Can the DSD933 explosion-proof snap switch be used in a Class I Division 1 area?
Yes. The DSD933 carries a Class I, Division 1 hazardous rating, so it is suited to areas where flammable gas or vapor is present under normal operating conditions, such as process areas in petrochemical, chemical, and solvent-handling facilities. It is built to NEC/CEC standards for North American installations. If your area is classified Division 2 only, this switch still applies, since a Division 1 device is acceptable in a Division 2 location.
3) Will a 20A explosion-proof snap switch handle my 277V lighting circuit?
Yes, within its ratings: 20A at 120/277 Vac, which covers a standard 277V branch lighting circuit as well as 120V control and receptacle circuits. It is a single-pole device, so it switches one ungrounded conductor. For a 480V load, or for switching both legs of a 208/240V circuit, this is the wrong device and you need a two-pole or higher-voltage rated unit.
4) Do I need an explosion-proof switch like this, or is a standard weatherproof switch acceptable?
That is decided by the area classification, not by preference. In a location classified Class I, Division 1, the switch has to be rated for it, because a standard snap switch arcs at the contacts and that arc is the ignition source the classification exists to contain. The DSD933 is rated Class I, Division 1 and built to NEC/CEC requirements. Outside a classified area, a general-purpose or weatherproof switch is the correct and far simpler choice, and the heavy iron-alloy assembly buys you nothing.
5) Can this Crouse-Hinds explosion-proof switch be mounted outdoors?
NEMA 3 is the enclosure rating, so the assembly is built for outdoor service against rain, windblown dust, and external ice formation. That covers exterior process areas, tank farms, and loading racks. NEMA 3 is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so if the location gets pressure-washed regularly, specify a device rated for direct water jets instead.
6) How much room do I need to allow for the DSD933 switch assembly?
Allow for a footprint of 6.7 inches high, 4.6 inches wide, and 5.3 inches deep. The depth is what usually catches people out on a crowded rack or inside a guardrail, since the operating lever and cover sit well off the mounting surface. Weight is 2.5 lb, light enough to hang on a strut or a conduit-supported body without extra bracing.
7) Is the DSD933 switch body corrosion resistant enough for a coastal or chemical plant?
Feraloy iron alloy is the construction material, an iron alloy Crouse-Hinds uses on hazardous-location fittings for its strength and corrosion resistance, and it takes the plant's protective finish system. Combined with the NEMA 3 rating it is intended for exposed industrial service. In severely corrosive process areas, plants often standardize on the aluminum-bodied equivalents instead, so match whatever the rest of your conduit system is built from to avoid dissimilar metal problems at the hubs.
