EnviroLine stainless enclosure provides excellent corrosion resistance and washdown compatibility, enabling longer service life in harsh environments and reducing maintenance costs for food processing, chemical plants, and outdoor installations. NEMA 4X enclosure rating enhances protection against dust, water, and impacts, improving system uptime and safety in demanding facilities. The two-pole, three-wire configuration with fusible with neutral ensures reliable disconnection for 240 V circuits, supporting precise protective coordination and motor protection in heavy- duty drives. Class H fuse provision offers predictable operating characteristics and time-delay protection for large motors, reducing nuisance trips and allowing smoother startup sequences. The window and visible blade of the HDSS design deliver quick visual verification without opening the enclosure, cutting inspection time and improving operator safety. With 400 A continuous rating and HP ratings up to 50 hp at 240 V three-phase, this switch is suited for sizable control panels and motor control centers while maintaining a compact footprint at 11.2 in depth, 22.66 in width, and 57.47 in height, weighing 133 lb. This combination supports easier installation and better lifecycle planning, helping buyers meet UL Listed standards and procurement targets while delivering measurable reductions in maintenance downtime and total cost of ownership.
