Overview
The Eaton DH362FDK is a heavy-duty fusible safety switch engineered for industrial motor circuits, service entrances, and equipment disconnect applications. Rated for 60 amperes at 600 VAC, this 3-pole, 3-wire safety switch features a painted galvanized steel enclosure in NEMA 12/3R configuration and incorporates Class H fuse provision. The visible double-break rotary blade mechanism provides two independent contact points for reliable opening and closing under full load.
