Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Three-pole design with neutral provides clear, reliable disconnection for four-wire loads, improving safety and minimizing arc-flash exposure. This configuration is ideal for motor circuits in conveyors, presses, and packaging lines, supporting quick service without compromising protection. Enhanced visible blades enable fast status checks during maintenance, reducing downtime and improving lockout-tagout safety for technicians working on energized equipment. The painted galvanized steel enclosure with NEMA 12/3R rating delivers durable protection in a range of indoor environments, and field modification to NEMA 3R rainproof is possible by opening a factory drain hole to suit outdoor service. The unit supports #14-2 AWG Cu/Al conductors and a 30 A rating with 600 V maximum, accommodating 7.5–20 hp motors and 4-wire connections while keeping wiring efforts efficient and compliant. UL 98 and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance reinforce safety and regulatory alignment, contributing to lower total cost of ownership through extended equipment life and predictable maintenance windows.

FAQs
DH361NDKW2 is a three-pole, four-wire fusible safety switch with a neutral. It accepts #14-2 AWG Cu/Al conductors and supports 30 A circuits up to 600 V. For 2-pole installations, it can be configured by using the outside poles of a 3-pole unit, and it can be field modified to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements with the appropriate drain hole modification.
The unit provides HP ratings of 7.5, 10/15, and 20 hp for 1/3-phase operation at 480–600 V, with a maximum voltage rating of 600 V and a 30 A electrical rating. This makes it suitable for light-to-moderate driven loads such as conveyors, presses, and other industrial equipment.
The enclosure is rated for indoor use with NEMA 12 and can be field modified toward rainproof NEMA 3R operation. When converted for outdoor service, a drain-hole modification enables the rainproof capability, expanding installation flexibility without sacrificing protection.
This switch is UL 98 listed and NEC 230.62 barrier compliant. It carries a 600 V rating and supports required safety and wiring standards for industrial electrical installations, helping you meet code requirements while maintaining safe and reliable operation.
