Feature → Business Impact → Application: The three‑pole design with neutral provides complete power isolation for three‑phase systems, reducing arc flash exposure and enhancing maintenance safety in motor feeders and process lines. This is paired with a Class H fuse provision that optimizes protection against short circuits, lowering downstream equipment damage and unplanned downtime in heavy machinery applications. The painted galvanized steel enclosure delivers rugged durability in demanding environments, supporting reliable operation in manufacturing floors and outdoor-rated spaces when configured for NEMA 3R rain protection. Enhanced visible blades enable quick status checks during routine servicing, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing troubleshooting time in control panels. The NEMA 12/3R enclosure rating, 23 in depth, and compact footprint simplify retrofits into existing cabinets, minimizing changes to wiring layouts and expedites commissioning. Compatibility with #14‑2 AWG wiring and a 60 A rating supports scalable power distribution for varying motor loads, while field adjustment to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements (via factory drain hole access) expands outdoor installation options. Overall, the solution reduces lifecycle costs through durable construction, straightforward installation, and dependable protection for industrial processes.

FAQs
DH362NDKW2 fits standard enclosures with a 23 inch depth and footprint of 12.5 by 10.5 inches, supporting #14‑2 AWG wiring. It is a three‑pole switch with neutral and a NEMA 12/3R enclosure, making retrofit into existing panels straightforward. For outdoor or rain-prone locations, you can field modify to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements by opening a factory drain hole as noted in catalog notes.
The 60A amperage rating accommodates typical motor feeders and control circuits, while the 600V rating supports high‑voltage industrial applications. This combination minimizes the need for oversizing, reduces wiring and protection device complexity, and helps achieve safer lockout/tagout and reliable fault isolation for motors up to the listed HP range (20, 25/30, 50 hp at 1/3PH @480/600V).
Yes. The DH362NDKW2 carries UL 98 certification for safety and protection, and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance is specified to ensure safe, code‑conforming installation in power distribution and control panels. This combination reduces compliance risk during audits and supports safer, more reliable electrical installations in industrial settings.
The enclosure is rated for NEMA 12 and NEMA 3R configurations, which supports indoor and some outdoor environments when installed in appropriate locations. The catalog notes indicate it can be field modified to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements by opening a drain hole provided by the factory, enabling controlled weather protection in exposed areas.
Upgrade benefits include reduced downtime from robust protection against short circuits, safer maintenance via enhanced visible blades and a durable painted galvanized steel enclosure, and lower long‑term costs due to fewer service interruptions. Its compatibility with standard wiring and field retrofit options also shorten installation time, delivering faster time‑to‑value in plant modernization projects.
