DH361FGK - 30 Amp Safety Switch

Eaton DH361FGK Heavy‑Duty Fusible Panel Switch

Keep your electrical panels safe, reliable, and code‑compliant with the Eaton DH361FGK heavy‑duty fusible panel switch. Designed for indoor applications, this three‑pole Switch delivers dependable performance in demanding commercial or industrial settings. Rated for 30 amps and up to 600 volts AC (with 250 volts DC capability), it provides robust protection and stable operation wherever a fusible safety switch is needed. With a steel NEMA‑1 enclosure, visible blades, and support for copper or aluminum conductors, the DH361FGK is built to last and engineered to protect both personnel and equipment.

Key Features & Benefits

• 30 A, three‑pole fusible design: provides solid overload and fault protection for three‑phase circuits; ideal for reliably breaking load under fault conditions.
• 600 VAC / 250 VDC rated: Offers flexibility in use, suitable for higher voltage AC systems and certain DC applications.
• Visible blade (quick‑make / quick‑break) mechanism: helps ensure safe, clear disconnects; easier to verify open/closed status, which improves safety.
• NEMA‑1 Painted Steel Enclosure: protects internal components from dust and incidental contact while being cost‑effective and suitable for sheltered indoor environments.
• Compatible with #14‑#2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors: Offers flexibility in wiring, making installation easier.
• Horsepower ratings are sufficient for heavy loads: Supports motors and similar loads up to specified hp levels (see specs), making it reliable for many industrial applications.
• Safety certifications (UL Listed, etc.): Gives assurance that it meets safety standards, is recognized for inspections, and regulatory compliance.

Where It Works Best

• Industrial & commercial indoor switch‑boards where three‑phase power distribution is required.
• Pump, motor, or compressor circuits needing a fusible safety switch with a visible blade for disconnecting power for maintenance.
• Retail, warehouse, or institutional buildings where voltage demands reach up to 600 VAC, but environmental exposure is limited (indoors).
• Replacement or upgrade of safety switches to meet code compliance, worker safety, and inspections.
• Electrical rooms or panels with steel structures, needing rugged but straightforward protection without high environmental sealing needs.
