Eaton DH362NRKA1600 Auxiliary Power Switch - UL Listed
Part Number: DH362NRKA1600
Quick Summary
The Eaton auxiliary power switch provides control of auxiliary circuits in industrial power distribution for control panels and emergency systems. Engineers often struggle with nuisance power loss, inadvertent tripping, and difficulty achieving compliant isolation in harsh environments. UL Listed certification supports safety compliance, while the NEMA 3R enclosure and 600 V rating enable reliable operation outdoors and in dirty or wet locations. Designed for heavy-duty control panels and motor drives, this solution integrates smoothly with three-pole four-wire wiring and offers dependable protection with minimal downtime. For procurement teams, the rugged enclosure, fusible-with-neutral configuration, and UL listing translate to faster approvals and reduced warranty risk.

FAQs
Installation should account for a three-pole, four-wire wiring scheme with a neutral, placed in a NEMA 3R enclosure suitable for outdoor or harsh environments. Ensure secure mounting within the panel space, allow for adequate clearance for heat dissipation, and verify compatibility with 600 V systems and UL Listed components. Weight is approximately 20 lb, facilitating handling during panel assembly.
The DH362NRKA1600 provides a 60 A amperage rating and a maximum 50 hp protection capacity for 1/3-phase motors at 480–600 V. It features a three-pole, four-wire configuration with fusible protection that includes a neutral path, and a 600 V voltage rating. This combination supports safe startup, precise fault isolation, and compliance with standard industrial drives.
Yes. The enclosure is NEMA 3R and the housing is painted galvanized steel, designed for outdoor use and dusty or wet environments. This makes it a reliable choice for exterior switchgear, outdoor MCCs, and equipment rooms exposed to the elements, while maintaining electrical integrity and protection.
The product carries UL Listed certification, confirming safety compliance for use in regulated electrical installations. The NEMA 3R enclosure rating further supports suitability for harsh environments. Together, these standards simplify customer approvals, help meet regulatory requirements, and reduce risk when integrating into industrial control systems.
The robust three-pole fusible with neutral design, UL Listing, and durable NEMA 3R enclosure reduce unplanned outages and maintenance costs by delivering reliable isolation and protection for downstream equipment. The integrated 15 A GFI receptacle adds convenient testing, while the 600 V rating and 60 A capacity support longer motor life and fewer replacement parts in demanding facilities.
