Product Overview
Used Crouse-Hinds EDSC271 with GE CR101 On/Off Control
This assembly combines a Crouse-Hinds EDSC271 explosion proof enclosure, a GE CR101 On/Off control, and an Appleton ECC755RH cord connector with wiring.
Originally paired with a 1/2 HP, 115 VAC motor, this unit reflects the rugged build standards of its manufacturers. Crouse-Hinds, GE, and Appleton each brought decades of expertise in industrial-grade electrical equipment, and this trio still shows the overbuilt reliability that defined their era.
Product Condition
Used, clean condition. Shows typical signs of prior service but remains fully intact. Wiring and cord connector are included as pictured.
Product Overview
The EDSC271 enclosure was designed for hazardous or demanding environments, providing a sealed housing for controls like the GE CR101. The paired Appleton ECC755RH cord connector completes the wiring interface. Together, they form a heavy-duty control point that reflects mid-20th century industrial engineering.
