AE Bolted Circuit Breaker Enclosures:

Explosionproof, Dust-Ignitionproof, Watertight

Application
• Explosionproof Circuit Breaker
enclosures are used where hazardous
materials are handled or stored. These
units are used for overload and short
circuit protection, control of lighting
and power circuits.
Features
• Sand cast copper-free aluminum.
• Precision machined flame path
between box and cover.
• Bolt on stainless steel slotted mount-
ing feet.
• Stainless steel hinges are standard.
• Stainless steel, captive Quad-Lead
cover bolts are standard (disengaged
in 1-1/2 turns).
• Ground lug package and installation
instructions for termination of ground
wire enclosed.
• External operating handle with stops
for limiting handle travel.
• External stainless steel breaker
operating handle on 400AF and
above.
• Breaker and operator shafts are
stainless steel.
• Breaker operators can be locked in
the “On” or “Off” position (up to 3 pad-
locks).
• External flange maximizes internal
space.
• Standard outlets top and bottom for
line and load wiring.
• Plugged 1/2” outlets top and bottom
for breather and drain. Standard Materials Standard Materials
