Feature → Business Impact → Application: 600 A amperage rating translates to robust protection for large motors and loads, reducing fuse-related outages and extending equipment life in heavy industrial lines. This supports uptime guarantees for manufacturing lines and minimizes costly downtime in continuous-process environments. Feature → Application: HP rating max of 200 hp (3PH with standard fuse/time delay) enables direct control of mid-size to large motors without external contactors, simplifying panel design and reducing cabinet space in machine controls. Feature → Application: 240 V operation paired with two-pole, two-wire configuration provides straightforward integration into standard industrial power distribution schemes, accelerating installation in new builds or upgrades. Feature → Application: Cartridge fuse configuration offers quick, local fuse replacement and predictable fault clearing, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing service time on the shop floor. Feature → Application: NEMA 4X enclosure and 304 stainless steel construction deliver corrosion resistance and outdoor-ready durability, expanding usable life in harsh environments like washdown zones or coastal facilities. Feature → Application: UL Listed and NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier certify regulatory alignment and personnel safety, helping ensure compliant installations for critical process lines. Feature → Application: Heavy-duty safety switch with Fusible without neutral and two-pole design ensures reliable isolation for dual-leg circuits, supporting safer machine siting and easier wiring checks in control panels.

FAQs
The DH226FRKV is designed for standard industrial panel integration with a two-pole, cartridge-fuse configuration at 240V. Its NEMA 4X enclosure and 304 stainless steel construction suit outdoor or washdown areas. Ensure mounting clearances for the 64.5 inch depth and access for fuse replacement, keeping routine maintenance routines accessible to minimize downtime.
Yes. The unit lists a max HP rating of 200 HP for three-phase applications with standard fuse/time delay, at 240V. This makes it suitable for mid-to-large motor protection within industrial facilities, reducing the need for additional switching gear and simplifying motor control schemes.
The DH226FRKV carries UL Listed certification and NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barrier, which supports code-compliant installations. It also features a NEMA 4X corrosion-resistant enclosure, suitable for challenging environments, and a rugged 304 stainless steel enclosure that extends service life in demanding plants.
With cartridge fuse provisioning, a 600A rating, and a robust NEMA 4X enclosure, maintenance crews experience faster fuse changes and fewer corrosion-related failures. The 200 hp capability at 240V reduces the need for multiple protective devices, lowering total cost of ownership and improving equipment availability over time.
The device occupies a substantial panel footprint with a product length/depth of 64.5 inches, height of 13 inches, and width of 26 inches, and a 200 lb weight. Plan for reinforced mounting surfaces and clear alignment with adjacent equipment, ensuring adequate working space for fuse replacement and service access.
