Eaton Specification Sheet - DG222UGB
60A, 240V, two-pole, non-fusible design delivers precise protection against overloads while staying simple to wire. This reduces downtime and simplifies preventive maintenance across the plant. Use it in general-duty control panels, motor starters, and machine enclosures where fast commissioning and dependable operation matter. Enclosure is a NEMA 1, painted-steel cabinet that guards against dust and incidental exposure in indoor environments. The consequence is longer service life for panels and fewer field service calls, especially in dusty manufacturing floors, while maintaining compatibility with standard indoor installations. UL Listed certification and NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier support code compliance and safety audits, helping panel builders and integrators meet regulatory requirements with confidence. For service-entrance configurations, catalog notes indicate that a neutral kit must be installed, ensuring proper neutral grounding and compliant wiring paths. The unit’s compact dimensions and 9 lb weight simplify retrofits and new installations in space-constrained panels, reducing logistics and inventory burden while preserving reliability. Warranty coverage of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment provides predictable post-purchase support and a clear roadmap for maintenance planning.

FAQs
Ensure indoor mounting within a NEMA 1 enclosure footprint and verify two-pole, two-wire wiring. Note the catalog instruction: service-entrance installations require a neutral kit. Plan for compatible mounting hardware and adequate bottom/top clearance for heat dissipation. This reduces rework and accelerates commissioning in new builds or retrofits.
Yes, the DG222UGB is UL Listed. It also features a NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier, contributing to code compliance in service equipment and general-duty switching applications. The enclosure is rated NEMA 1 for indoor environments, providing dust protection and mechanical integrity in typical industrial spaces.
Service-entrance use requires installation of a neutral kit per catalog notes. Without the neutral kit, the switch is not approved for service entrance applications. For panel upgrades or new builds, verify wiring paths and neutral requirements to ensure compliance and safe operation.
The DG222UGB is rated at 60A and 240V, configured as a two-pole, two-wire, non-fusible switch. It provides dependable general-duty switching for indoor control panels and machine enclosures, with a straightforward wiring scheme designed to minimize installation complexity and potential fault paths.
