Quick Summary

Eaton DH326NWK316 heavy duty fusible safety switch delivers dependable power protection for demanding industrial applications. In corrosive or wash-down environments, downtime from corrosion or faulty enclosures is costly—this unit uses 316 stainless steel and a NEMA 4X enclosure to resist deterioration. UL Listed, NEC 230.62 barrier compliant, and the corrosion-resistant enclosure meet critical safety and regulatory requirements. The three-pole, four-wire design at 240 V with a neutral supports flexible wiring for control circuits while delivering up to 600 A. For procurement teams, the combination of rugged construction and a one-year warranty reduces lifecycle costs and spare-part needs. Engineers value reliable protection for motors up to 200 hp on three-phase lines in standard or TD configurations.

The 316 stainless steel enclosure provides excellent corrosion resistance, greatly extending service life in challenging environments and reducing maintenance intervals, a key business benefit for continuous production lines. The NEMA 4X rating supports reliable operation in wash-down and outdoor installations, enabling flexible site placement and faster commissioning of new lines. With a 600 A amperage rating and compatibility with high-horsepower motors (up to 200 hp in three-phase configurations), this switch handles large loads without sacrificing protection or safety. The three-pole, four-wire design with a neutral simplifies wiring schemes and control-circuit integration, lowering installation costs and reducing risk of miswiring. Class H fuse provision and fusible-with-neutral configuration deliver targeted fault isolation and straightforward fuse replacement during maintenance. UL Listed and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance ensure regulatory alignment and safer field operation, while the robust 14.25 in depth, 63 in height, and 24 in width enclosure supports secure mounting in standard electrical rooms. Warranty and weight considerations further reduce lifecycle costs, supporting long-term capital planning and spare-part planning for mission-critical facilities.

It accommodates large conductors up to 600 kcmil copper/aluminum and #1/0–#2–600 kcmil terms, enabling seamless integration with common industrial panelboards. Its neutral and fuse configuration simplify wiring diagrams, reducing rework and enabling faster panel upgrades.
The enclosure is 316 stainless steel with a NEMA 4X rating, providing superior corrosion resistance and sealing against dust, water, and chemicals. This makes it ideal for wash-down areas, chemical processing, and outdoor installations, where standard steel enclosures would suffer from premature degradation and downtime.
This model is UL Listed and complies with NEC 230.62 barrier requirements, ensuring electrical safety and code compliance in commercial and industrial facilities. The corrosion-resistant stainless-steel enclosure enhances reliability in environments where regulatory and safety standards drive preventive maintenance and inspections.
The switch is rated for up to 600 A and supports motors up to 200 hp for standard three-phase configurations, with a secondary range around 75 hp in TD configurations. This makes it suitable for high-power starter applications, process lines, and large conveyor drives while maintaining robust protection.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or an 18-month window from shipment, whichever occurs first. In addition to the warranty, you gain access to Eaton’s technical support and catalog resources, including datasheets and specification sheets, to assist with installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
