Eaton DH421FDK Heavy Duty Fusible Safety Switch - UL Listed

Enclosure and rugged construction provide dependable protection: Painted galvanized steel housing rated for NEMA 12 and NEMA 3R service keeps dust, moisture, and incidental droplets away from critical controls. This means fewer field incidents and longer life for switches and wiring. Ideal for control panels in manufacturing, packaging, and material-handling lines where environmental exposure matters. Fusible design with Class H protection and a four-pole, four-wire configuration simplifies motor protection and coordinated protection schemes. With a 30A rating and a broad voltage range up to 600V, it aligns with common motor starter architectures and reduces the need for separate fusing. In practice, users can select appropriate fuse links while maintaining simple panel layouts. Compatibility and installability are enhanced by the enterprise-grade footprint and field-modifiable options: it ships in a 25.5 in long, 13.25 in wide, 9 in tall enclosure with a 40 lb weight, ready for secure mounting. The catalog notes highlight a field modification path to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements when outdoor or damp locations demand it. This minimizes change orders and keeps projects on schedule. Performance is defined by clear motor ratings: HP up to 3 (standard) and 7.5/5 HP in compatible 1-3 phase setups, enabling a broad range of light-to-moderate industrial loads. UL Listing confirms compliance with safety standards and supports procurement compliance across regulated purchasing. The combination of 240V operation and 600V max accommodates typical plant electrical systems while delivering predictable trip behavior. Maintenance efficiency is achieved through a robust warranty and common spare parts approach: one-year warranty from installation or 18 months from shipment, plus widely available replacement fuses and components. The four-pole, fusible without neutral design reduces wiring complexity during service.
