Eaton Specification Sheet - DH223NGKLP
The DH223NGKLP delivers 100A, two-pole disconnecting capability for 240V circuits, combining a fusible switch with a solid neutral to ensure coordinated protection and predictable fault response. This feature translates to reduced arc-flash risk and quicker fault isolation, minimizing downtime in critical manufacturing lines. The Series K platform provides robust mechanicals and a proven form factor, while Posi-Lok enhances operator confidence with a positive, tamper-resistant latch during cycling. In practical terms, this means faster commissioning, easier field wiring, and fewer rework cycles when integrating with motor starters, control relays, and programmable logic controllers. The NEMA 1 enclosure supports indoor installation, enabling straightforward retrofits in existing panels without compromising safety or space. Overall, the product reduces total cost of ownership by improving reliability, simplifying maintenance, and supporting scalable control architectures in industrial environments.

FAQs
For installation, mount the DH223NGKLP in an indoor environment within a NEMA 1 enclosure and prepare for a two-pole, 240V disconnect. Connect the fusible with solid neutral per Eaton wiring diagrams, secure the Posi-Lok latch, and verify tight terminal torque. Ensure control circuit compatibility with your PLC or motor starter and observe proper clearance for safe operation.
DH223NGKLP is designed to integrate with Eaton Series K protection devices. Use the fusible with solid neutral configuration for coordinated protection, and wire per the catalog: 100A rating, 2-pole, 240V, and NEMA 1 indoor enclosure. Keep control wiring separated from power conductors, and utilize the Posi-Lok latch to secure the operating handle during maintenance or test cycles.
This safety switch carries UL Listed certification, confirming compliance with essential electrical safety standards for industrial disconnects. The product is rated for indoor NEMA 1 environments, which supports general service usage. While not specified for SIL, CE, or IP ratings in the data, UL Listing provides a strong basis for safety requirements and regulatory alignment in many industrial applications.
Manufacturing lines, material handling systems, and packaging plants commonly use the DH223NGKLP as the main disconnect in power distribution panels. Its 100A rating, 240V operation, fusible with solid neutral, and rugged Series K construction make it suitable for standalone protection or as part of a broader electrical protection scheme in industrial automation environments.
users can expect reduced downtime due to fast fault isolation and reliable actuation from the Posi-Lok mechanism. The durable NEMA 1 enclosure supports long service life in indoor environments, and the fusible with solid neutral configuration minimizes wiring errors during maintenance. Overall, the solution delivers predictable performance, lowers replacement rates, and improves commissioning efficiency, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
