Eaton DH362FWKW features a NEMA 4X enclosure constructed from 304 stainless steel, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh washdown and outdoor environments. This rugged build minimizes maintenance cycles and reduces replacement costs for facilities where harsh liquids, dust, and temperature fluctuations challenge reliability. In industrial facilities where space and reliability matter, the enclosure supports long service life and predictable performance under heavy motor loads. The device provides a 60 A amperage rating across three poles, supporting motor protection for up to 50 hp at 480–600 V. With a 600 V voltage rating, it safely disconnects high-demand loads while meeting stringent protection and shutdown requirements. Three-wire configuration and fusible design enable straightforward wiring, reliable fault isolation, and clean coordination with upstream protective devices. Fuse class provision uses Class H fuses, offering selective protection and predictable coordination with downstream motors to minimize damage from faults. Enhanced visible blades improve diagnostic visibility during maintenance, fast fault verification, and reduced inspection time. Together, these features reduce nuisance trips and shorten fault-isolation times, boosting overall plant uptime and process availability. Catalog notes confirm suitability for service entrances when a neutral or ground lug kit is installed, enabling flexible topologies without enclosure changes. This compatibility supports both new installations and retrofits, saving installation time and minimizing field modification costs. Engineers can standardize configurations across multiple lines, simplifying procurement, maintenance planning, and spare parts stocking. UL Listed certification reinforces compliance with global electrical standards and customer quality assurance requirements for critical safety equipment. The unit’s compact 19 inch depth, 9 inch width, and 9 inch height align with common cabinet footprints while accommodating practical wiring routes. With a 22 lb weight and robust stainless enclosure, installation handling remains manageable and service intervals are predictable for maintenance teams.
