Eaton Specification Sheet - DG221NGBLORED
DG221NGBLORED uses a rugged, two-pole configuration with fusible neutral to deliver fast, reliable circuit isolation in 120/240 V control circuits, housed in a NEMA 1 painted steel enclosure. This feature directly translates to reduced downtime and safer maintenance, particularly in busy commercial and light industrial panels. The 30 A amperage rating aligned with Class H fuses provides selective coordination and faster fault clearance, improving overall system reliability while staying within Eaton’s fuse family ecosystem for compatibility and spare parts availability. The lock-on provision and painted-red enclosure simplify identification and secure operation during servicing, enhancing personnel safety and compliance with lockout/tagout procedures. Its compact footprint and standardized dimensions—11.29 in depth, 6.88 in height, and 7.25 in width—facilitate straightforward panel integration and predictable installation planning. Enhanced by UL Listed status and NEC barrier compliance, it reduces project risk and long-term maintenance costs. The enclosure’s NEMA 1 rating ensures reliable indoor performance, while fusible-with-neutral wiring supports safe switching of both lines in a three-wire system. This makes it a practical, scalable solution for new builds and retrofits alike, offering straightforward stocking, servicing, and uptime benefits for facilities managers and electrical contractors.

FAQs
Install the DG221NGBLORED as a two-pole, fusible-with-neutral switch inside an indoor panel with a NEMA 1 enclosure. Mount the unit securely, connect the two hot legs and neutral per the 120/240 V rating, and use the built-in lock-on provision to secure the switch during service. Verify compatibility with Class H fuses and ensure proper wiring of the neutral for safe operation. Finally, follow local codes for enclosure barriers and perform a Lockout/Tagout procedure prior to energizing.
The DG221NGBLORED is designed specifically for fusible with neutral configurations and supports Class H fuses, enabling selective coordination and reliable fault clearing. Its wiring and terminal layout accommodate the neutral conductor alongside the two poles, simplifying integration into existing control circuits. This compatibility reduces redesign costs and ensures consistent protection in panel assemblies without compromising safety or code compliance.
Yes. The unit is UL Listed and configured to meet NEC 230.62 barrier requirements, providing a compliant isolation barrier within neutral-containing circuits. The NEMA 1 enclosure adds indoor protection, while the lock-on feature supports safe maintenance practices. This combination helps reduce inspection issues and supports reliable, code-compliant installations in commercial and light industrial environments.
The enclosure dimensions are 11.29 inches in depth, 6.88 inches in height, and 7.25 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 6 pounds. When planning panel space, allow for adequate front accessibility and clearances for safe operation and lock-on maintenance. Verify mounting holes and clearance around the NEMA 1 enclosure to ensure proper ventilation and code-compliant installation.
