FAQs
For installation, verify space within a standard control panel and plan for a 60A, 240V supply. The DH222FCK is a two-pole, two-wire device with a 20 inch depth and a footprint of 9.5 by 8.5 inches, weighing 22 lb. Ensure wiring uses #14-#2 Cu/Al conductors and follows NEC guidelines for barrier spacing and enclosure grounding. Mounting hardware should be compatible with galvanized steel enclosures. This setup minimizes wiring complexity and speeds changeouts during maintenance.
The DH222FCK supports 60A at 240V with horsepower ratings listed as 3 hp for two-pole configurations in certain 1-phase and 3-phase arrangements and 7.5 hp/10 hp for 1 or 3 phase depending on the standard fuse and time delay, up to 250VDC usage. This makes it suitable for small to mid-size motors in conveyors, pumps, and similar loads where reliable switching and protection are essential.
Yes, the DH222FCK uses a NEMA 12/3R enclosure with painted galvanized steel, designed to resist dust, moisture, and routine contamination common in industrial settings. This enclosure choice helps protect internal contacts and wiring, reduces maintenance frequency, and supports dependable operation in environments such as manufacturing floors, wash-down areas, and outdoor installations with moderate exposure.
The device is UL Listed and NEC 230.62 barrier compliant, providing documented safety and installation integrity. While not a CE or SIL listing, these certifications cover essential electrical protection requirements for panel builders and contractors. The enclosure’s NEMA 12/3R rating further supports compliance with environmental protection expectations in typical industrial spaces.
Eaton offers a warranty of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage supports ongoing maintenance planning and reduces risk for OEMs, integrators, and end users. When paired with Eaton’s datasheets and specification resources, it ensures quick reference during commissioning and future upgrades.
