1200 A amperage rating and 600 V capability enable true main power isolation for large motors and feeders. This high-capacity specification reduces the number of components required and simplifies protection strategy, lowering install time and spare parts inventory. Ideal for heavy-load panels in stamping presses, plastic and metal fabrication lines, and large conveyors that demand reliable isolation. Three-pole, three-wire configuration with fusible without neutral and Class L fuse provision simplify wiring and align with standard industrial practices. The result is faster commissioning, improved fault clarity, and safer energy isolation during maintenance windows. This design supports standard protection schemes while accommodating popular fuse types used across industries. NEMA 3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel deliver weather-resistant protection for indoor and moderately outdoor environments. Enhanced visible blades improve operator confidence and reduce inspection time during routine checks. The enclosure’s mechanical robustness translates to longer service life in harsh environments. Heavy-duty footprint and the 72 in length, 21 in height, and 48 in width with an approximate 455 lb weight underscore its fixed-mount suitability in centralized power distribution. The HDSS catalog notes reinforce its use in demanding systems, supporting reliable operation with minimal field adjustments. Installation benefits include stable mounting and predictable electrical clearance. UL Listed certification, NEC barrier compliance, and compliance with industrial safety standards help meet regulatory requirements and customer audits. This combination of certifications supports risk mitigation and easier vendor qualification. When paired with Eaton accessories and HDSS families, maintenance teams can streamline spares and service planning.

FAQs
The DH368FRKV is designed for main power isolation in three-pole, three-wire circuits up to 1200 A at 600 V. It fits large panels, motor control centers, and feeder enclosures in manufacturing, processing, and heavy equipment environments. Its NEMA 3R enclosure supports indoor and protected outdoor installations, while UL Listing confirms compliance with safety norms.
Enhanced visible blades provide quick, at-a-glance confirmation of switch position during routine inspections, reducing lockout tagout time and minimizing switch-related downtime. This feature supports safer energization verification, speeds fault finding, and improves overall maintenance efficiency in busy production lines where visibility matters.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 3R enclosure manufactured from painted galvanized steel, delivering weather-resistant performance for outdoor and semi-exposed installations. This rugged construction reduces corrosion risk, extends service life in harsh environments, and aligns with safety practices for outdoor power distribution in industrial facilities.
This safety switch is UL Listed, and it complies with NEC barrier requirements, ensuring safety and reliability for code-driven projects. The NEMA 3R enclosure rating provides environmental protection, while the HDSS reference supports its integration with Eaton’s maintenance and protection ecosystem. These certifications simplify procurement, audits, and regulatory approvals.
By delivering high-current isolation (1200 A), robust enclosure protection (NEMA 3R), and maintenance-friendly features (enhanced blades, clear fault indication), the DH368FRKV reduces unscheduled downtime and accelerates maintenance cycles. Its durable construction lowers spare-part needs and extends service life in demanding production environments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
