Square D H60XBD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Square D H60XBD enclosure be used in a Class I Division 1 hazardous area?
The H60XBD is a cast aluminum enclosure rated NEMA 7/9, which is the hazardous-location rating for explosion-proof service. It is UL Listed and carries CSA. NEMA 7 covers Class I (gas and vapor) locations and NEMA 9 covers Class II (combustible dust) locations, so it is intended for hazardous areas rather than general purpose use. Confirm the specific class, division, and gas group on your drawing matches the switch assembly you are installing.
2) What amperage switches fit the PowerPacT B NEMA 7/9 enclosure?
It is built as a deadfront housing for PowerPacT B molded case automatic switches rated 15A to 60A, in 2 or 3 pole. A frame larger than 60A will not go in it. It is offered for circuit breakers or with factory installed automatic switches, so specify which way you want it supplied.
3) How much wall space do I need for the Square D H60XBD enclosure?
Plan for a surface mounted box measuring 15.56 in height, 9.65 in width, and 7.24 in depth. The 7.24 in depth is the one that catches people out on a hazardous-location install, since rigid conduit runs and seal-off fittings have to clear the projection off the wall.
4) Why cast aluminum instead of a painted steel enclosure?
Explosion-proof housings are cast rather than formed sheet metal because the walls and the machined cover joint have to contain an internal ignition. The H60XBD uses a cast aluminum body for that reason, which is also why you cannot substitute a NEMA 1 or 3R steel box in the same location even if the switch inside is identical.
5) Does the H60XBD come with the automatic switch installed?
Both ways are offered. The enclosure is available for circuit breakers or with a factory installed automatic switch, so when you order you need to state whether you want the bare NEMA 7/9 housing or a complete assembly. Confirm the pole count, 2 or 3, at the same time.
6) What is the difference between the Square D H60XBD, the Eaton ECC Series, and the Eaton MVXENC Series enclosures?
All three are electrical equipment enclosures, but each is scoped differently. The Square D H60XBD is a cast aluminum NEMA 7/9 deadfront enclosure for PowerPacT B molded case automatic switches rated 15A to 60A, surface mount, UL Listed and CSA. The Eaton ECC Series is a UL Listed circuit breaker enclosure matched to the CCV frame type. The Eaton MVXENC Series is an industrial electrical enclosure. In practice the H60XBD is specified by the PowerPacT B device and the hazardous-location rating, the ECC by the CCV breaker frame, and the MVXENC as general industrial housing.
7) Will a 15A PowerPacT B switch work in this enclosure, or is it only for the larger frames?
Anything from 15A through 60A in the PowerPacT B automatic switch range is covered, so a 15A device is within range. The enclosure size does not change across that band, which makes it practical to standardize one housing across several circuits in a plant.
8) Does the Square D H60XBD meet Canadian requirements as well as US?
It is UL Listed and carries CSA, so it is acceptable on both sides of the border for the NEMA 7/9 application it is rated for. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if your procurement has trade or documentation requirements.
