Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Feature – 200 A amperage rating translates to robust protection for medium-load feeders and control circuits. Business Impact – Supports reliable operation of motors and equipment without overburdening downstream protection, reducing nuisance trips and downtime. Application – Suitable for general duty safety switching in factories, warehouses, and process lines. Feature – NEMA 1 painted steel enclosure provides indoor protection against dust and incidental moisture. Business Impact – Enhances panel longevity and simplifies mounting in standard industrial environments. Application – Ideal for indoor control panels, MCCs, and switchgear housings. Feature – Two-pole, two-wire configuration with fusible without neutral simplifies wiring and isolation. Business Impact – Streamlines installation, improves safety during maintenance, and minimizes wiring errors. Application – Common in single-phase and balanced three-phase layouts where neutral isn’t required. Feature – Class H fuses deliver reliable overcurrent protection for general duty circuits. Business Impact – Balances protection with cost, supporting predictable maintenance cycles. Application – Fits general protection schemes in motor circuits and feeders. Feature – 240 V voltage rating ensures compatibility with standard low-voltage distribution networks. Business Impact – Reduces mismatch risk with existing electrical infrastructure and simplifies select-and-install decisions. Application – Suitable for most general duty panel applications in industrial facilities. Feature – UL Listed certification and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance provide regulatory assurance. Business Impact – Helps meet procurement and safety standards while accelerating approvals. Application – Preferred in projects requiring formal compliance documentation. Feature – Warranty of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment. Business Impact – Supports risk management and total cost of ownership negotiations. Application – Useful for long-life asset planning and service agreements. Feature – HP rating caveat notes that maximum horsepower applies only with dual-element fuses; three-phase ratings reflect grounded B-phase values. Business Impact – Prevents oversizing or misinterpreting capability, safeguarding equipment and warranty. Application – Critical for engineering специfications during system design and vendor discussions.

FAQs
DG224FGK is a two-pole, two-wire system with fusible without neutral configuration. Install with line and load connections on the appropriate terminals, ensure the Class H fuses are properly seated, and keep the enclosure closed during operation. This layout minimizes wiring complexity while preserving safe isolation and clear fault indication.
Maximum horsepower ratings apply only when dual-element fuses are used. The listed 3-phase HP rating is a grounded B-phase rating. For high-horsepower applications, verify fuse type and configuration with the Eaton specification sheet and ensure compatibility with the specific motor and drive system to avoid mis-sizing.
Yes. The DG224FGK is UL Listed and features a NEC 230.62 compliant barrier, ensuring regulatory alignment for indoor general-duty safety switching. This supports compliance during audits and reduces the time spent on certifications when integrating into control panels.
This general duty safety switch is ideal for control panels, motor control centers, and feeder protection in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries. Its NEMA 1 enclosure and 240 V rating make it suitable for indoor, standard-duty environments where reliable protection and easy maintenance are priorities.
The product carries a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. Routine maintenance focuses on fuse status and enclosure integrity. Plan replacement of Class H fuses per manufacturer guidance and inspect the barrier for sign of wear during periodic panel service.
