600A amperage rating at 240V enables this switch to handle heavy load applications without overheating. The rating supports reliable motor control and reduces the risk of nuisance tripping in demanding lines. Applications include high-demand equipment halls, conveyors, and fan drives in manufacturing environments. NEMA 4X stainless enclosure provides exceptional corrosion resistance and robust ingress protection. The result is lower maintenance frequency and longer service life in washdown areas and outdoor installations. This makes it suitable for food and beverage, chemical processing, and outdoor panel installations, with compatibility for mounting kits and optional accessories. Fuse configuration is fusible with neutral and uses Class H fuses to ensure fast, safe disconnection under fault conditions. The business impact is safer fault isolation, reduced arc energy, and improved compliance with NFPA 70E and NEC requirements. Suitable for main disconnects feeding control circuits in industrial plants, enabling safer startup and faster troubleshooting. Two-pole, three-wire design aligns with standard three-phase wiring, enabling straightforward wiring and plug-and-play compatibility with existing panels. This simplifies installation, reduces commissioning time, and minimizes wiring errors in MCCs and power distribution panels, while supporting retrofit projects with common mounting footprints. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with recognized safety standards, while ratings of 75 hp at 240V Std. 3Ph and 200 hp at 240V TD 3Ph define clear motor protection boundaries. These ratings support safer, code-compliant operation for a wide range of industrial motors. Dimensions provide easy planning: 12.84 in depth, 63 in height, 23 in width, in a stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure; weight is listed as 0.01 lb, reflecting compact packaging and straightforward mounting in various panel doors. Warranty follows Eaton policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, giving buyers confidence in long-term performance and support.
