Eaton Specification Sheet - DG224NGK
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The DG224NGK employs a two-pole, fusible with neutral configuration rated at 200 A and 240 V, enabling safe isolation of motor loads and control circuits while maintaining a compact footprint. This design reduces wiring complexity and enables straightforward replacement of fuses, shortening downtime during maintenance and enabling faster panel servicing in production lines and HVAC systems. The enclosure uses a NEMA 1 painted steel housing, providing durable protection in standard indoor electrical rooms and equipment closets, which lowers mounting concerns in confined spaces and supports reliable performance in harsh environments. Class H fuses are specified, delivering selective coordination and improved fault clearing for common industrial loads, with the added benefit of predictable fuse life and reduced nuisance tripping when used within intended HP ratings. Compliance-friendly features like NEC barrier and UL Listed certification simplify audits and installation planning, while the fusible-neutral arrangement supports clean grounding schemes and safe disconnection during service.
