Cutler-Hammer DH224FGK - 200A, 240V, 2-Pole, Fused Disconnect Switch

The Cutler-Hammer DH224FGK is a high-performance Fused Disconnect Switch purpose-built for industrial and commercial environments where safe, reliable electrical isolation is non-negotiable. With a robust 200A rating at 240V and a 2-pole design, this device delivers dependable disconnection under load while supporting proper lockout/tagout procedures for worker safety.

Key features that set the DH224FGK apart

• 200A amperage rating—capable of safely interrupting large circuit loads in industrial equipment and service panels.
• 240V operation suitable for standard industrial power distribution setups.
• 2-pole configuration isolates both hot legs simultaneously, ensuring complete circuit de-energization.
• Fused disconnect design provides inherent overcurrent protection paired with a clear, definite disconnect when maintenance or servicing is required.
• Lockout/Tagout compatibility to support safe maintenance procedures and compliance with workplace safety protocols.
• Long-term durability engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments where uptime matters.

Why choose a fused disconnect in your electrical system? A fused disconnect like the DH224FGK combines protective fusing with a directed disconnect point, helping to prevent electrical faults from propagating and enabling a safe, visible isolation when service work is performed. This makes it an ideal choice for facilities that require quick, reliable power shutdowns without compromising protection or workflow continuity.

Ideal applications

• Industrial machinery control panels and motor drives where frequent isolation is needed
• Commercial electrical rooms and service feeders requiring a solid, code-aligned disconnect
• Maintenance workflows that rely on lockout/tagout procedures to safeguard personnel
• Any 200A, 240V circuit that benefits from immediate, protected disconnection under load

Practical considerations and best practices

• Ensure wiring meets the 200A, 240V specifications for safe, compliant installation.
• Use the fused disconnect as part of a structured lockout/tagout program to maximize personnel safety during maintenance.
• Plan for routine inspections of fusing elements and connections to sustain long-term performance.

For facilities seeking a reliable, purpose-built solution to safely isolate power with clear, actionable disconnection, the Cutler-Hammer DH224FGK delivers decisive performance. Its combination of high-current capacity, two-pole isolation, and built-in fuse protection makes it a standout choice for durable, safe electrical distribution in demanding environments.
