FAQs
Begin by verifying cabinet and enclosure compatibility (NEMA 3R) and ensuring the circuit is de‑energized. Mount the DG224FRK per Eaton’s installation guidelines, connect the two hot wires to the two-pole terminals, and install Class H fuses without neutral as noted. Close the enclosure, and test the disconnect under load to confirm proper operation. Always reference NEC 230.62(C) barrier requirements for code compliance.
The DG224FRK is rated for 200 A and 240 V, with a two‑pole, two‑wire configuration and fusible without neutral. It uses Class H fuses and is UL Listed. The enclosure is NEMA 3R, painted galvanized steel, suitable for indoor or outdoors in appropriate climates. These specs support reliable protection for motor feeders and general purpose power circuits in industrial settings.
Yes, the DG224FRK uses a NEMA 3R enclosure with a painted galvanized steel body, designed for outdoor or exposed indoor environments. While the enclosure provides weather resistance, verify site conditions and follow NEC guidance on barriers and wiring practices. Ensure correct fuse type and ratings are used to maintain protection during harsh conditions.
The DG224FRK is UL Listed, providing recognized safety assurance. It also adheres to NEC 230.62(C) for compliant barrier separation and uses a NEMA 3R enclosure suitable for tougher environments. Catalog notes indicate maximum HP ratings apply when dual element fuses are used, and ratings reflect a grounded B phase for 3‑phase configurations.
The DG224FRK reduces downtime through rapid fuse replacement and a robust enclosure that withstands industrial conditions, lowering repair frequency. With a 200 A, 240 V rating and UL-listed protection, it minimizes risk and audit overhead. Optional dual-element fuse configurations can unlock higher HP ratings, optimizing motor-driven processes and total cost of ownership.
