FAQs
Install the four-pole, fusible switch with no neutral connection as specified. Ensure the enclosure is mounted in a clean, dry location and that Phase A, B, C are correctly wired to the three live terminals while the fourth conductor completes the four-wire circuit. Verify 600 V rating and fuse class (Class H) before energizing.
Yes. The switch is rated for up to 600 V and supports motor loads up to 40–50 HP at 480/600 V (1/3 phase). This makes it suitable for a range of industrial drives and pumps, while maintaining safe, protected startup and shut-off sequences.
The DH462FDK is UL Listed and housed in a NEMA 12, NEMA 3R painted galvanized steel enclosure. This combination provides dependable electrical safety certification along with protection against dust, moisture, and corrosion in many industrial environments.
Its NEMA 12/3R enclosure, Class H fuse provision, and fusible-without-neutral design minimize exposure during maintenance, while UL Listing assures compliance. The unit’s 40 lb weight and 25.5 x 13.25 x 9 in footprint simplify installation and fuse replacement in confined spaces.
By reducing nuisance trips, enabling faster fuse changes, and improving system reliability, this switch lowers downtime costs and extends equipment life. The robust enclosure and compliance features also minimize audit findings and maintenance overhead over the product’s lifecycle.
