Eaton Crouse-Hinds NST1018F NST disconnect switch - NEMA 12/3/4X

Feature → Business Impact → ApplicationFuse protection is built into NST1018F W60361, providing immediate fault isolation and reducing arc flash risk. This translates to lower incident costs and safer maintenance windows for in-plant motor control centers, feeders, and switchgear assemblies. In industrial settings, it supports quick fault identification and minimized downtime during seasonal maintenance.Krydon fiberglass-reinforced polyester enclosure offers excellent weather and chemical resistance while remaining non-conductive. The enclosure reduces grounding complexity and enables safer, more straightforward installation in outdoor, wash-down, or chemically aggressive environments. Ideal for paint lines, pharmaceutical controls, and food-and-beverage processing lines where enclosure integrity matters.NEMA ratings of 12, 3, and 4X plus suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations provide robust protection against dust, moisture, and corrosion. This minimizes secondary enclosure needs and simplifies compliance during audits, while enabling panel designers to optimize space and wiring layouts in control cabinets and MCCs.UL certification with NEC/CEC compliance supports procurement and project approvals. This reduces risk during vendor selection and accelerates design-in for new builds and retrofits, aligning with corporate safety programs and maintenance strategies.Compact footprint and standard dimensions—11.41 in L, 19.41 in H, 15.47 in W, 32.94 lb weight—enable predictable fit in existing panels. This eases retrofits, panel upgrades, and spare parts planning for distributed motor control centers, improving overall project timelines.
