Eaton DH465FDKW Heavy-Duty Fusible Safety Switch 12/3R

Enhanced visible blade improves operator safety by providing a quick, unambiguous indication of the circuit path. This reduces misoperation during startup and maintenance, especially in high-pressure control panels and MCCs. Applications include heavy industrial lines where visibility matters for safe isolation. Four-pole, four-wire construction supports high current motor control with a 400A amperage rating. The maximum HP ratings of 250 for 480V/3Ph and 350/50 hp for 600V/3Ph enable direct integration with large motors without additional gear or adaptors. This translates to fewer components and faster commissioning in process lines. The enclosure is rated for NEMA 12 and NEMA 3R, protecting against dust and moisture in indoor and outdoor locations. Painted galvanized steel provides robust durability in demanding environments, reducing corrosion and maintenance costs. This enclosure pairing helps plants achieve uptime targets and simplified compliance with environmental protections. Cartridge fuse provision and fusible without neutral configuration simplify protection strategy. With reachable input/output wiring options and positive fuse protection, engineers can maintain consistent fault clearing and predictable trip curves. This supports safer shutdowns and easier replacement during scheduled outages. Overall, the DH465FDKW integrates with standard Eaton HDSS lineups and is compatible with common control cabinets. Its 64 in length, 25.5 in width, and 13 in height, plus a 123 lb weight, fit large switchgear footprints without surprises. The warranty and UL Listed status further reduce risk and total cost of ownership in busy industrial plants.
