Feature: Three-pole, 800 A, 600 V rating provides robust isolation for large-motor and high-current loads. Business impact: It reduces the need for multiple devices and simplifies protective coordination in machine tools, conveyors, and process equipment, boosting line uptime and lowering wiring complexity. Application: Suitable for switchgear cabinets and industrial panels where a dependable disconnect is essential to protect personnel and equipment. Feature: Non-fusible design simplifies maintenance and minimizes fault pathways. Business impact: With no internal fuses to replace, maintenance cycles are shorter and service windows tighter, accelerating repair times after tripping events. Application: Preferred in applications where quick isolation is needed for safe servicing of motors and control circuits in manufacturing cells. Feature: NEMA 12 enclosure and NEC 230.62 barrier compliance. Business impact: Indoor protection against dust and light splashes ensures long-term reliability and safer clearance around live parts, aiding auditors during inspections. Application: Ideal for factory floors, panel rooms, and other controlled environments where barriers and enclosure integrity are mandated. Feature: Enhanced visible blade and three-pole construction. Business impact: Operators can verify blade position at a glance, reducing misalignment and speeding door-open checks during maintenance. Application: Critical in high-availability lines, robotics systems, and packaging lines where rapid, confident disconnection is required. Feature: UL Listed and compatibility with safety components. Business impact: Strong regulatory alignment and easier integration with existing control architectures by standardizing on common disconnect hardware. Application: Works with Eaton safety systems and third-party control panels, delivering predictable performance in new installs and retrofits. Compatibility and installation advantages: The DH368NDKW’s three-pole footprint supports straightforward mounting in standard switchgear footprints, and the offered dimensions align with common panel layouts. Its weight and size are manageable for mid-range heavy-duty installations, facilitating safe lifting and secure bolting during panel assembly while preserving durability in industrial environments.
