Eaton Specification Sheet - DH362FRKA1600
60A, 600V rating enables efficient switching of demanding motors and feeders, protecting downstream equipment from overload. This rating also helps coordinate with upstream protection to minimize nuisance trips during startup. The envelope fits standard switchgear footprints, and the three-pole layout simplifies wiring and control circuits. In practice, engineers appreciate predictable performance under peak loads in manufacturing lines. Three-pole, three-wire configuration with fusible without neutral simplifies wiring and fault isolation. This design reduces neutral conductor complexity and supports precise coordination with downstream protection, helping engineers achieve faster service interventions and easier diagnostics. NEMA 3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel provide weather resistance for outdoor and harsh indoor environments. This rugged construction lowers corrosion risk, extends service life in industrial plants, and supports long-term reliability in outdoor substations. Class H fuses offer dependable overcurrent protection, while the 60A rating is matched to motor starters and feeders to optimize protection coordination. Built-in 15A GFI receptacle adds maintenance convenience and safety checks during commissioning and servicing. UL Listed certification simplifies compliance audits, while catalog number DH362FRKA1600 supports straightforward procurement and stocking. The unit’s compatibility with standard panels and Eaton's support ecosystem helps reduce total cost of ownership and ease of replacement when needed.

FAQs
DH362FRKA1600 is designed for standard three-pole, three-wire circuits with fusible without neutral. Ensure the mounting location provides a NEMA 3R-rated enclosure or equivalent protection, and verify compatible downstream protective devices. Use Class H fuses as specified and plan for the integrated 15A GFI receptacle for maintenance tasks. This approach helps maintain coordination with upstream protection while simplifying wiring and serviceability.
The 60A at 600V rating supports protection of demanding motors and feeders, enabling appropriate interrupting capacity and reliable fault isolation. Class H fuses are chosen for fast-acting protection aligned with typical industrial protection schemes, reducing the risk of nuisance trips and enabling safer, more predictable startup and operation in mixed-load environments.
Yes. The unit features a NEMA 3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel, delivering weather resistance for outdoor installations and damp indoor locations. This construction helps resist corrosion, keeps electrical connections secure in challenging environments, and supports reliable operation in facilities with outdoor switchgear, loading docks, or exposed plant areas.
UL Listed certification confirms adherence to recognized safety standards, supporting regulatory compliance, procurement approvals, and safer product integration. While the data set highlights UL Listed, the NEMA 3R enclosure and rugged build further assist compliance with industry requirements for outdoor and harsh environments, reducing audit findings and speeding project approvals.
The included 15A GFI receptacle simplifies periodic testing and maintenance, while Class H fuses provide reliable overcurrent protection with predictable replacement behavior. The UL Listed rating and rugged galvanized steel enclosure contribute to longer service intervals and reduced downtime, translating to lower lifecycle costs and a favorable return on investment for facilities with high switching demands.
