Eaton DG226FGK General duty safety switch - UL Listed
Part Number: DG226FGK
Quick Summary
Eaton DG226FGK general-duty cartridge fuse safety switch provides reliable circuit protection for commercial and industrial panels. Installers often contend with space constraints and the challenge of coordinating fuse elements with neutrals, which can delay startups. UL Listed, NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier, and a NEMA 1 painted steel enclosure simplify installation and regulatory compliance. With a 600 A rating at 240 V and a two-pole, fusible-without-neutral configuration, it scales to demanding protection schemes while keeping maintenance straightforward. Designed for motor control centers and general distribution panels, this unit balances safety, performance, and total cost of ownership.

Eaton Specification Sheet - DG226FGK
600A amperage rating delivers robust fault protection for heavy feeders, reducing nuisance trips and extending equipment life. This enables reliable service in general distribution panels and industrial motor feeders, supporting design margins for future expansion. Fusible without neutral two-pole configuration supports compact installations and minimizes wiring complexity. Class H fuses provide clear short-circuit protection with interchangeable fuse elements, reducing inventory variety and downtime. The NEMA 1 enclosure in painted steel offers durable protection against dust and minor impacts in indoor environments, simplifying mounting in standard electrical rooms. UL Listing and NEC barrier-compliant design ensure regulatory alignment and safer panel boundaries, speeding audits and approvals. Compatibility with existing Eaton accessories is enhanced, though solid neutral bars are not included and must be ordered separately; maximum horsepower ratings apply only when dual-element fuses are used. The included protections and enclosure design contribute to lower long-term operating costs and easier maintenance planning.
