FAQs
The DH222FDKW is a two-pole, two-wire switch designed for 240 V operation in industrial control panels. Plan for a NEMA 1 painted-steel enclosure, leave space for the window and visible blade, and ensure appropriate fuse selection (Class H) to match the system load and timing requirements. Mounting should follow standard panel practices to maintain accessibility for maintenance and testing.
This model provides a 60A amperage rating with a 240V nominal voltage and a maximum 600V rating for certain configurations. It supports motors and loads with up to the documented HP ranges for 1-3 phase service and uses fusible (without neutral) protection. The device is UL Listed and is suitable for heavy commercial and industrial applications requiring robust isolation.
Yes. It features a NEMA 1 enclosure with painted steel construction, a window for visible blade verification, and UL Listed safety certification. While rated for indoor use, its rugged build and clear status indicators suit busy plant floors where quick status checks and reliable protection are essential for uptime and safety.
Fuse configuration is Fusible without neutral with Class H fuse provision, enabling standard or time-delay fusing suitable for motor and process loads. This supports coordination with upstream protection, reduces nuisance trips, and simplifies replacement by using common fuse types, thus lowering maintenance costs and improving system reliability.
The DH222FDKW measures 16.5 in in depth, 8.31 in in height, and 9.12 in in width, with an approximate weight of 16 lb. When planning panel layouts, ensure adequate clearance around the enclosure for service access, wiring, and backup space for the fuse replacement and inspection procedures.
