EnviroLine stainless enclosure provides corrosion resistance for rugged environments, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance cycles in washdown areas and outdoor installations. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer unplanned shutdowns, especially in high-humidity or chemical exposure zones. NEMA 4X protection and a sealed enclosure keep dust, water, and contaminants out of the switching mechanism, boosting reliability and uptime for production lines that require regular washdowns and weather protection. The 60A, 240V, two-pole with neutral configuration supports common industrial feeders while preserving headroom for future motor loads, enabling scalable protection across evolving line layouts and process upgrades. Class H fusing within a fusible safety switch ensures selective coordination and predictable fault clearance, reducing arc flash exposure during maintenance. Compatibility with standard time-delay fuses enhances inventory management and on-site replacement efficiency while supporting 1P/3P installations. UL Listed certification reinforces compliance readiness for regulated facilities, while extensive enclosure dimensions and window/visible blade design simplify installation checks and routine inspections for technicians.

FAQs
Begin by verifying enclosure suitability (NEMA 4X, EnviroLine stainless) for your panel. Mount the switch securely, connect the two poles and the neutral conductor, and ensure proper alignment with the visible blade window for status checks. Use standard fuses or time-delay types as configured, and follow UL-listed installation guidelines to maintain protection class and electrical clearances.
The DH222NWKW is a 60A, 240V heavy-duty fusible safety switch with a max HP rating that varies by configuration: 3, 7.5 hp, and 10 hp for 1P/3P setups. It supports three-wire connections and a neutral, making it suitable for common industrial feeders while retaining headroom for light motor loads and future upgrades.
Yes. The EnviroLine stainless enclosure with a NEMA 4X rating provides corrosion resistance and protection against washdown conditions. This makes it well-suited for food processing, chemical plants, and other environments where moisture, dust, and exposure risk are higher, while maintaining safe operation and easy inspection access.
The DH222NWKW is UL Listed and designed with a NEMA 4X (Stainless) enclosure and windowed blade for visible status. These features support regulatory compliance, enhance operator safety during maintenance, and simplify audit readiness for facilities that require proven electrical protection in harsh environments.
The corrosion-resistant enclosure reduces maintenance frequency and downtime, while the window and visible blade enable quick status checks, improving fault isolation speed. Coupled with standard fuse compatibility and a one-year warranty, this switch lowers total cost of ownership and supports predictable, long-term return on investment through reduced maintenance time and fewer unexpected outages.
