Eaton DH321FWK316 Fusible Safety Switch - 4X

316 stainless steel construction and a NEMA 4X enclosure provide exceptional corrosion resistance in washdown and outdoor environments. This translates to extended service life, reduced maintenance frequency, and fewer unplanned outages for critical lines. Ideal for food processing, beverage, chemical processing, and other harsh industrial settings, the DH321FWK316 protects personnel and equipment while preserving electrical integrity. The fuse class provision is Class H and the unit is fusible without neutral, improving overload protection without complicating control wiring. This design reduces nuisance trips and simplifies field wiring, helping maintenance teams complete installations faster and with fewer errors. Suitable for three-phase motor circuits in manufacturing lines and packaging lines where uptime matters. With a three-pole, three-wire configuration, the switch provides straightforward wiring and dependable three-phase control. The 240V rating and a 30A amperage rating align with common motor starter requirements, delivering predictable performance and facilitating compliance with electrical codes. This makes it a practical drop-in replacement for aging protective switches in retrofit projects. HP ratings up to 7.5/5 hp (1/3PH at Std/TD, 250 Vdc) allow efficient motor management across a range of loads, while the enclosure maintains safe access to fuses and wiring. The UL Listed certification adds confidence in safety and reliability, and NEC 230.62 compliance supports barrier protection in commercial and industrial installations. Rugged construction is paired with practical installation dimensions: 20 in depth, 9.5 in width, 8.5 in height, and a 21 lb weight, enabling compact integration in crowded electrical rooms. The unit ships with a strong warranty and Eaton support, helping minimize lifecycle costs and streamline maintenance programs.
