Eaton Specification Sheet - DG221URB
The DG221URB is a general duty non-fusible safety switch engineered to provide reliable control and protection in electrical panels. This class of switch helps minimize the risk of accidental energization during maintenance and testing, saving technicians time and reducing rework. The unit's two-pole, two-wire configuration supports simple, predictable wiring and straightforward field termination. For control circuits in commercial and light industrial environments, it offers a robust, code-compliant disconnect that engineers can trust. Its enclosure is a painted galvanized steel NEMA 3R housing designed for rainproof performance in exposed locations. The rugged construction reduces corrosion risk and extends service life in damp or outdoor installations, translating into lower maintenance costs and fewer outages due to enclosure wear. Electrical ratings are aligned with common distribution needs: 30A at 240V, making it suitable for motor start circuits and general control loads. The non-fusible design provides a clear disconnect path without introducing fuse replacement tasks into routine operations, while UL Listed adds formal safety authorization for spec compliance. Compliance and safety features include NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier, supporting safe panel separation and easier inspections. The catalog notes the neutral-kit caveat for service entrances, guiding installers to apply this unit only in appropriate configurations. Installation and compatibility emphasize standard footprint compatibility with typical control panels and enclosures, with dimensions of 6.88 in depth, 10.81 in height, and 6.38 in width, and a 6 lb weight to enable easy handling and retrofit. From a business perspective, the DG221URB offers solid ROI through reliable protection, reduced maintenance, and straightforward procurement, backed by a one-year warranty (or eighteen months from shipment) for project risk mitigation.
