Appleton™ ACSEW Cast Control Centers are a versatile line of explosion-proof industrial electrical enclosures offering a centralized control solution. Factory assembled and wired to customer specifications, a single ACSEW can house a diverse combination of push buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, and other operational devices. Different size windows can be also added to accommodate meters for the monitoring and controlling of processes.
Appleton ACSEW Cast Control Centers meet National Electric Code (NEC) and Canadian Electric Code (CEC) Class I, Division 1 and 2 requirements for safeguarding assets and workers in locations classified as “hazardous” due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, liquids, or combustible dusts. Petrochemical, gas and oil, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and mining are some of the hazardous locations where the control centers can be safely deployed.
Every aspect of Appleton ACSEW Cast Control Centers emphasizes industrial-grade reliability. To prolong service life, it integrates features such as a durable O-ring neoprene gasket for watertight integrity, a precision-machined flame path between its body and cover, and stainless-steel cover bolts and slotted mounting feet. A shot blast finish is applied as standard to the copper-free aluminum bodies and covers for NEMA 4 rating. However, a gray epoxy powder coat is an option to obtain more stringent NEMA 4X certification, which is often needed in food and beverage processing plants, corrosive saltwater marinas, harsh outdoor locations, and water treatment operations.
