FAQs
RDF800L-3 is rated for 800A, making it suitable for high-current applications in switchgear and motor control centers. Its fused design provides protection against overcurrent events, helping to safeguard downstream equipment. When integrating, confirm enclosure space, mounting pattern, and fuse availability to maintain optimal performance and serviceability.
The RDF800L-3 features a 800A amperage rating and voltage capability of 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. This dual-voltage rating supports mixed AC/DC distribution environments. It also uses a fused disconnect design to limit fault energy, contributing to safer isolation during maintenance and outages.
Yes. With its 800A rating, front-handle operation, and compact footprint, RDF800L-3 is well-suited for motor control centers (MCCs) and switchgear where reliable isolation and safe maintenance are priorities. The unit’s dimensions and weight facilitate installation in standard enclosures, while fused protection minimizes fault propagation.
The data confirms RoHS compliance, which supports hazardous-material reduction in manufacturing and disposal. However, explicit CE, SIL, or IP certifications are not listed in the provided data; verify regional regulatory requirements for your installation and consult the manufacturer for up-to-date certification details before procurement.
Plan for front-access operation and fuse replacement as part of routine maintenance. The unit weighs about 39.2 lb and measures 14.5 in x 12.5 in x 1 in, requiring appropriate mounting hardware and enclosure space. Verify wiring connections, enclosure ratings, and fuse type availability to ensure safe, compliant operation and minimal downtime.
