FAQs
The DH265NGK supports two-pole, three-wire circuits with fusible links sized for copper conductors up to 2/0–300 kcmil and aluminum conductors up to 1/0–750 kcmil, depending on the specific fuse configuration. Always verify the exact fuse sizing in the datasheet for your installation to ensure code compliance and safe current capacity.
Key ratings are 400 A continuous amperage, 600 V voltage rating, 50 HP maximum at 250 Vdc, two-pole operation, and a fusible with neutral configuration. These ratings support protection for large feeders and motor circuits in industrial environments.
The DH265NGK is rated for indoor use with a NEMA 1 painted steel enclosure. This combination provides solid protection against dust and incidental contact, making it suitable for control panels, electrical rooms, and other indoor industrial spaces.
The DH265NGK is UL Listed and complies with NEC 230.62(C) barrier requirements. While CE and SIL certifications are not listed in the provided data, these validations support regulatory compliance and safety in many North American industrial facilities.
Warranty is Eaton’s policy 25-000, offering one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For maintenance, follow the datasheet guidance on fuse replacement, inspection intervals, and safe lockout/tagout procedures to maximize uptime and safety.
