Eaton Corporation DPB222RP 60A Ac Disconnect Nema 3R

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION DPB222RP is a 60-amp, 2-pole air conditioner disconnect switch rated for 240 volts. It is built as a molded case switch enclosed in a NEMA 3R rainproof housing, making it suitable for outdoor installation at residential and light commercial condensing units. Licensed electricians install this disconnect as the locally accessible means of disconnecting power to the air conditioning unit, as required by the National Electrical Code. The NEMA 3R enclosure protects internal components against rain, sleet, and external ice formation.

This disconnect is used in residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a fused or non-fused outdoor disconnect is required adjacent to the condensing unit or heat pump. It is rated at 60 amps and 240 volts, covering the majority of standard split-system air conditioners and heat pumps installed in single-family and small multi-family settings. The molded case switch design provides a compact, reliable disconnect mechanism without requiring separate fuse blocks.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 440 requirements for disconnecting means on air conditioning equipment. De-energize the circuit at the main panel before wiring the disconnect. The disconnect must be mounted within sight of the condensing unit and accessible to service personnel.
