Eaton DH325FRK Heavy Duty Safety Switch 400A

Product Description

The EATON DH325FRK is a heavy duty safety switch designed for reliable disconnection of electrical circuits in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Safety switches of this type serve as a manual means of isolating power to motors, HVAC equipment, compressors, and other load-side devices. The DH325FRK provides a robust, lockable disconnect point that meets NEC requirements for service entrance and branch circuit isolation. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of switch where a code-compliant, visible-blade disconnect is required. At 118 pounds, this is a heavy enclosure suited for permanent, fixed installation.

Heavy duty safety switches in this class are used in residential service entrances, commercial mechanical rooms, and industrial facilities wherever a durable, lockable disconnect is required by code or engineering specification. This switch is appropriate for applications involving motors, HVAC compressors, pump panels, and similar motor-load equipment. Its enclosure and construction make it suitable for environments where a robust disconnect solution is necessary.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local electrical codes. De-energize and verify absence of voltage on all conductors before beginning installation. The enclosure weight of 118 pounds requires adequate mounting support and typically a two-person lift for safe positioning. Conduit entries, bonding, and grounding must be completed per NEC Article 230 or the applicable branch circuit article for the installation type.
