Enclosure and durability: The painted galvanized steel NEMA 3R enclosure provides weather resistance and outdoor suitability, reducing environmental corrosion concerns and maintenance costs. Business impact is lower total cost of ownership and uptime protection in exposed locations; ideal for outdoor panels or wet workshop environments. Application insight: great for outdoor machinery and facility power-distribution boxes where reliability matters more than aesthetics. Fuse configuration and protection: Fusible with neutral and Class H fuse provision deliver rapid fault clearing while maintaining proper neutral reference. Benefit: enhanced personnel and equipment safety, with reduced arc flash exposure and improved electrical reliability during fault events. Suitable for 240 V three‑phase motor circuits up to 7.5 hp standard, 15/15 hp or 30/20 hp depending on configuration and load; supports compliant motor starting. Electrical specifications and wiring: Three-pole, four-wire design with wire capacity #14-1/0 AWG Cu/Al enables flexible conductor options and straightforward field wiring. Impact: simplifies installation, reduces wiring errors, and accelerates commissioning for panels and distributed drives. Physical footprint and accessibility: Product length/depth of 22.5 in, height 9 in, width 12.75 in, and a 20 lb weight deliver a compact footprint that fits tight spaces while remaining serviceable. Application: ideal for retrofit projects or limited-bay electrical rooms where space is at a premium.

It accepts #14-1/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors and supports fusible with neutral configurations, making it suitable for standard 3P distribution and motor‑control circuits. Ensure enclosure clearance and panel ratings meet NEMA 3R requirements for the installation environment.
It is rated for 100A with horsepower ratings of up to 7.5 hp on standard configurations, and 15/15 hp or 30/20 hp for specific drive setups (1P3PH @Std/TD/250 Vdc). This makes it appropriate for medium‑sized motor loads and selective starter circuits in industrial plants.
Yes. The product uses a NEMA 3R enclosure with painted galvanized steel, designed to withstand moisture, dust, and incidental rain exposure when installed in appropriate service conditions, aiding reliability in outdoor or semi‑ outdoor panels.
The DH323NRK is UL Listed, which supports compliance with many safety and installation codes. Use this alongside local electrical codes and panel standards when planning protection schemes, and reference the NEMA 3R rating to validate enclosure suitability.
Eaton provides a one‑year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, per policy 25‑000. For maintenance, inspect fuse status, enclosure integrity, and wiring connections during periodic PM cycles to sustain protection performance and minimize unscheduled downtime.
