800A amperage rating supports large motors and heavy‑duty feeders, reducing the need for multiple protective devices and simplifying panel design. By consolidating protection in a single switch, maintenance tasks become faster and fault clearing more predictable, translating into measurable uptime gains in manufacturing lines and process plants. This capability is especially valuable for conveyors, pumps, and metalforming equipment that demand robust, predictable isolation. Three‑pole, four‑wire configuration provides clean 3‑phase power control with a dedicated neutral path, enabling correct motor starting sequences and safe, reliable shutdowns. The fusible-with-neutral design supports selective protection and precise coordination with downstream devices, reducing fault exposure and improving worker safety during maintenance operations. In practice, engineers can align protection with existing feeder schemes without compromising performance. Stainless steel 304 enclosure delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and weathering capability with a NEMA 4X rating, ideal for outdoor, washdown, and chemically aggressive environments. This robustness reduces enclosure maintenance and helps meet harsh‑environment requirements in food processing, chemical, and heavy manufacturing facilities. The tough construction supports long service life, lowering lifecycle costs and inventory needs. Fuse class provision CLASS L ensures built‑in fusing with predictable response during overloads, simplifying protection coordination and reducing arc flash risk during servicing. The integrated fusible with neutral design minimizes panel space consumption and wiring complexity, while meeting stringent safety standards. This arrangement supports easier retrofits and smoother compliance with plant electrical protection schemes. With dimensions of 14.25 in depth, 25.38 in width, and 71.75 in height and a weight of 213 lb, the DH327NWK is sizeable but manageable with standard lifting equipment and installation practices. Wire access and mounting options align with common electrical enclosure standards, facilitating faster commissioning. Its UL Listed status further reinforces compliance, enabling procurement in regulated environments.
