High-current capability is realized with a 400A amperage rating and three-pole configuration, enabling safe, centralized isolation for large motor loads and heavy-duty circuits. Business impact includes improved fault containment and reduced downtime during maintenance, which translates to higher equipment availability and production throughput in manufacturing environments. This setup supports reliable control system protection and straightforward integration into existing electrical protection schemes for industrial facilities. The fusible with neutral design provides precise fault isolation, protecting downstream devices and enabling selective coordination to minimize collateral outages in critical lines. In practice, technicians benefit from simpler fuse replacement steps and standardized parts during preventive maintenance, reducing service time and inventory complexity on the shop floor. The indoor NEMA 1 enclosure rated assembly is compatible with typical indoor control rooms and panels, delivering robust protection against dust and incidental contact while keeping installation straightforward for electricians. With 240V operation and UL Listed safety, facilities meet rigorous safety standards while maintaining cost-effective protection that aligns with energy-management and safety programs. Compliance-focused features, including NEC barrier requirements, support audit readiness and regulatory adherence across automotive, process, and packaging lines. The unit’s rugged construction—115 lb weight and durable enclosure—ensures long service life in demanding environments, enabling predictable budgeting for replacement cycles and supporting total-cost-of-ownership objectives.

FAQs
The DH325NGK5 uses a three-pole, fusible-with-neutral configuration in a NEMA 1 indoor enclosure. Plan for appropriate mounting clearance, access for fuse replacement, and adherence to NEC barrier requirements (230.62). Ensure the control panel supports 240V systems and that maintenance personnel have the proper PPE and lockout/tagout procedures in place. The UL Listed rating confirms compliance with safety standards, aiding in installation acceptance tests and audits.
The unit is engineered for a 400A amperage rating across three poles with a 240V nominal voltage. Its fusible with neutral configuration provides precise fault isolation, protecting downstream equipment and enabling selective protection. UL Listed certification and NEC barrier compliance support reliable operation within industrial control panels and motor circuits, delivering predictable performance and reduced risk during startup and fault events.
The enclosure is specified as NEMA 1, which is intended for indoor use and provides basic protection against dust and incidental contact. For outdoor or harsher environments, additional enclosure protection or environmental housings would typically be required to meet site-specific weather and ingress requirements. Always verify installation conditions and consult Eaton documentation for enclosure upgrades if needed.
The DH325NGK5 is UL Listed, and it features NEC 230.62 (C) compliant barriers. These certifications confirm conformity with recognized safety and electrical-code requirements, supporting regulatory compliance, safe operation, and easier qualification in safety and insurance audits for industrial facilities.
By delivering reliable 400A 3-pole, 240V isolation with a robust NEMA 1 enclosure and fusible-with-neutral configuration, the DH325NGK5 minimizes unplanned outages and reduces downtime during fuse replacements. This translates to lower maintenance labor time, improved line availability, and predictable maintenance planning, delivering a favorable total-cost-of-ownership profile for motor control centers and industrial panels.
