FAQs
For retrofit or new builds, mount the DH261FRK-CSA in a compatible control panel or enclosure with a NEMA 3R rating. Ensure proper clearance for the 17 inch depth and maintain adequate ventilation. Use the two-wire, fusible-without-neutral configuration with Class H fuses and verify connections per NEC guidelines to maintain compliance and ensure safe disconnection.
The device is rated at 30 A and 600 V, supporting up to 7.5, 10, or 15 hp for single-phase applications at 480–600 V (TD/600 Vdc as applicable). It uses two wires with #14-#2 Cu/Al conductors and provides a two-pole configuration with fusible without neutral to match motor protection needs while staying within NEC and UL CSA compliance.
Yes. The enclosure is a NEMA 3R painted galvanized steel, designed for indoor or outdoor service where protection from rain, dust, and other elements is required. This makes it ideal for outdoor pump stations, conveyors, and other exposed motor control applications while maintaining safe operability.
The DH261FRK-CSA is UL Listed and CSA Certified, with NEC 230.62 compliant barrier. These certifications facilitate code-compliant installations, simplify supplier approvals, and reduce the risk of non-conformance in regulated environments, helping with audits and long-term maintenance planning.
The enhanced visible blade allows quick status verification without opening the enclosure, reducing diagnostic time and exposure during maintenance. This feature lowers downtime, supports safer routine checks, and helps technicians confirm switch position rapidly, improving overall reliability of motor protection and control sequences.
