Corrosion-resistant enclosure and NEMA 4X rating reduce maintenance costs and extend service life in outdoor or washdown environments, delivering lower total cost of ownership and safer operation for critical lines. Business impact: longer equipment uptime, fewer corrosion-related failures, and simplified compliance audits. Application: metal stamping, packaging lines, and process automation where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern. Two-pole design with fusible without neutral and Class H fuse provides precise overcurrent protection, enabling quick, safe disconnection during faults and reducing wiring complexity. Application: motor drives, conveyors, and machine controls in demanding facilities. UL Listed and NEC 230.62 compliant barriers support safer panel assemblies, easing installation and inspection cycles. Application: industrial control panels and service entrances that require verifiable safety standards. HP ratings up to 7.5, 10, and 15 hp for 1PH at 480–600 V TD/600 Vdc support common industrial motors, reducing the need for multiple safety devices. Application: single-phase motor loads on high-voltage lines. Dimensions and weight—10.22 in depth, 7.73 in width, 19.08 in height, 19 lb—facilitate straightforward mounting in compact control enclosures. Application: panel builders prioritizing space efficiency. Warranty coverage (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) ensures ongoing performance and service support. Application: asset management teams seeking predictable maintenance planning and vendor support.
