FAQs
The DG223URB is built with a NEMA 3R rainproof enclosure and a two-pole, two-wire configuration rated at 100A and 240V. When wiring, ensure proper enclosure sealing, verify mounting clearance, and follow NEC guidelines for wet locations. Use only approved conductors and adhere to the catalog notes regarding neutral kit requirements for service entrances.
Service entrances require a neutral kit per Eaton catalog notes. Without the neutral kit, the DG223URB is not approved for service entrance use. For service-entry configurations, plan to install the appropriate neutral kit and verify all code requirements before final commissioning.
The DG223URB carries UL Listed certification and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance. These certifications support code-compliant installation in regulated facilities and simplify external audits by documenting adherence to recognized electrical standards.
Typical uses include general distribution panels in light-industrial settings, outdoor switchgear housings, and damp indoor locations where reliable on/off control is needed. Its 100A, 240V rating and NEMA 3R enclosure make it suitable for weather-exposed locations while maintaining compatibility with standard wiring practices.
The unit offers a one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) and robust mechanical construction, which reduces unplanned downtime. Regular inspection of enclosure integrity, connection tightening, and confirmation of code-compliant neutrals (when used for service entrances) support longer service life and lower total cost of ownership.
