Eaton DH465FDK heavy duty fusible safety switch - UL Listed

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The DH465FDK provides a 400 A amperage rating, enabling you to consolidate switching and protection in large feeders, reducing the number of devices required and improving in-panel footprint efficiency for process lines. This translates to lower wiring complexity and faster commissioning in new builds or expansions for industrial automation projects. Application-wise, it supports up to 600 V and 250/350 hp ratings at 480/600 V three-phase, giving you headroom for high-powered motor control centers in packaging, metals, or water treatment facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Four-pole, four-wire configuration delivers a clean, isolated disconnect that minimizes cross-talk and improves fault clearing, enhancing safety and ease of maintenance in complex motor drives. This is ideal for multi-motor applications where reliable isolation is essential for maintenance windows and safety procedures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 12/3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel construction provide rugged protection against dust, moisture, and debris, reducing maintenance cycles and corrosion-related downtime in harsh factory floors. Field modification to NEMA 3R rainproof capability enables outdoor or semi-outdoor installations without a separate enclosure, lowering total installed cost and enabling outdoor motor control applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Class H fuse provision ensures compatible fuse protection with predictable impedance and fault currents, supporting compliance with electrical protection strategies and reducing nuisance trips in systems requiring precise coordination. This is particularly valuable for high-inertia loads like conveyors or pumps in food and beverage lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit’s dimensioning (57 in depth, 11 in height, 27 in width) and a total weight of 123 lb inform installation planning, shipping, and crane or handling requirements, minimizing unexpected site delays during plant upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification reinforces customer confidence and supplier qualification, enabling smoother procurement and audit trails in regulated facilities. This supports compliance-driven procurement in sectors such as data centers, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The factory-ready design with field modify capability supports rapid customization for unique plant layouts, reducing engineering time and enabling faster project execution. This is especially relevant for retrofits where panel tolerances vary and safety interlocks must be preserved. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit’s documented HP ratings and voltage range align with common industrial motors, helping maintenance teams plan energy management strategies and reduce total cost of ownership by avoiding oversizing or undersizing disconnects. This is beneficial for industries relying on reliable motor protection and uptime metrics.
