FAQs
Begin by confirming the panel readiness for a two-pole, 200A fusible switch and verify conductor sizes up to #6-250 kcmil Cu/Al. Mount the enclosure on a stable surface, connect two wires as specified, install Class H fuses, and ensure the NEC 230.62 barrier is present. Follow lockout/tagout procedures during installation and test operation before commissioning.
The unit is rated for 200A with HP ratings listed as 15, 25 hp and 15, 60 hp for 1 and 3-phase configurations at 240 V, depending on fuse type and time-delay characteristics. This makes it suitable for medium to large motor loads in production lines while maintaining robust protection.
Yes. The DH224FGKV uses a NEMA 3R enclosure and is designed for outdoor and protected indoor applications. The painted galvanized steel enclosure provides corrosion resistance, while the NEMA 3R rating supports weather and environmental sealing for reliable operation in challenging sites.
This safety switch is UL Listed and designed to meet NEC 230.62 barrier requirements, supporting safe installation in code-compliant electrical assemblies. Its rugged enclosure and protective features align with typical industrial standards for panels and motor control circuits, offering assurance during audits and safety inspections.
The DH224FGKV reduces downtime through reliable interruption of motor circuits, lowers wiring complexity with a fusible without neutral configuration, and minimizes maintenance costs with a durable NEMA 3R enclosure. Over the lifecycle, this translates to fewer emergency repairs, simpler spares management, and improved overall equipment reliability.
