FAQs
When installing the DH223FGK in a 240V system, verify the enclosure is mounted indoors in a clean, dry environment compatible with NEMA 1 protection. Use the two-pole, two-wire configuration and select the appropriate Class H fuse with the desired time-delay characteristic. Ensure clear labeling, proper torque on connection terminals, and adherence to NEC 230.62 (C) barrier requirements for safe, compliant operations.
The DH223FGK is designed as fusible without neutral with Class H fuse provision. This configuration provides effective overcurrent protection for motor drives and control circuits, offering time-delay options for motor inrush and startup surges. It simplifies protection coordination within 100 A circuits while keeping wiring straightforward for installers and electricians.
Yes. The DH223FGK supports 1- and 3-phase configurations, with HP ratings and fuse timing that adapt to single-phase and three-phase motor drives. The device’s 240V rating and two-pole design make it compatible with typical industrial motor applications while maintaining robust protection and fast isolation during faults.
The DH223FGK carries UL Listed certification and NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier, ensuring it meets electrical safety and code requirements for indoor protection. This combination supports code-compliant installations in factory floors, warehouses, and machine rooms, reducing the risk during regulatory inspections and warranty claims.
Expected benefits include reduced unplanned downtime due to reliable isolation, faster fault isolation, and simpler spares management with a single compact unit. The 100 A rating supports common drives, while the UL listed and NEC compliant design minimizes compliance risk. Overall, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved line uptime.
