Eaton Specification Sheet - DH265NRKLP
High amperage capability and robust protection: The 400A, two-pole, 600V rating provides reliable isolation for heavy load circuits such as motor feeders and line-side disconnects, improving equipment protection and reducing fault propagation in production lines. Business impact includes lower downtime and safer, faster fault isolation in demanding plants. Application: main disconnects in motor control centers and high-load feeders, where dependable switching minimizes production interruptions. NEMA 3R enclosure for versatile placement: The rugged exterior supports outdoor and damp indoor locations, extending installation options and reducing the need for separate enclosures. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and easier field retrofits in outdoor equipment racks. Application: outdoor substations, weather-exposed switchgear rooms, and shaded outdoor facilities. Fusible with solid neutral design: A solid neutral path ensures clean fault clearing and stable system grounding, reducing nuisance trips and arc flash risk. Business impact: improved protection coordination and clearer fault pathways, enabling faster service restoration in critical processes. Application: circuits requiring reliable neutral reference for safety and performance. Posi-Lok positive locking: The Posi-Lok feature provides a secure handle interlock, preventing accidental opening or closure during maintenance. This reduces exposure risk and simplifies lockout/tagout procedures, improving worker safety and compliance on the plant floor. Application: routine maintenance, door swaps, and field servicing where secure operation matters. Series K compatibility and UL Listed: The DH265NRKLP aligns with Eaton’s Series K lineup and adheres to UL Listed standards, ensuring standardized installation, commissioning, and ongoing compliance across multi-vendor switchgear environments. Application: retrofits and new builds across industrial facilities seeking consistent performance and documented reliability.
