FAQs
The DH261FRKG-CSA is a two-pole, fusible switch designed for straightforward retrofit into standard control panels. It supports #14-#2 Cu/Al conductors and fits within typical panel mounting footprints, helping minimize wiring changes. When planning installation, verify NEC 230.62 barrier compliance requirements and ensure the NEMA 3R enclosure is suitable for the installation environment, particularly if outdoor or semi-outdoor exposure is anticipated.
The 30A, 600V rating provides a robust disconnect for most medium-load industrial motors and drives, limiting arcing and providing reliable overcurrent protection. This reduces unscheduled downtime and potential motor damage, lowering repair costs and extending asset life. The fusible without neutral configuration simplifies protection schemes and minimizes unnecessary neutral connections, streamlining maintenance.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel, delivering corrosion resistance and weather protection suitable for outdoor or semi-exposed installations. This design reduces enclosure maintenance, supports longer service intervals, and helps ensure reliable operation in environments with humidity, rain exposure, or dust.
The DH261FRKG-CSA is CSA Certified and UL Listed, with NEC 230.62 barrier compliance. These certifications verify that the device meets recognized safety and performance standards, facilitating compliance with regulatory audits and reducing procurement risk. For facilities in regulated industries, these attributes help support safety programs and insurance requirements while simplifying supplier qualification.
Deploying the DH261FRKG-CSA can deliver a favorable ROI through reduced downtime from faster status checks via the enhanced visible blade, improved maintenance efficiency, and direct labor savings from easier installation and conductor compatibility. Its durable NEMA 3R enclosure also minimizes outdoor maintenance costs, while compliance certifications reduce audit-related expenses and procurement risk.
