Eaton DH161URKN - 30A, 600V, Non-Fusible Disconnect Switch

The Eaton DH161URKN is a purpose-built non-fusible disconnect switch designed to deliver safe, reliable electrical isolation in demanding industrial and commercial environments. With a rugged NEMA 3R enclosure, this disconnect switches stays protected against weather and harsh conditions, making it suitable for both indoor panels and outdoor installations where dependable performance matters.

Non-fusible design for straightforward, dependable disconnection The DH161URKN provides a clean, mechanical disconnect when the handle is moved to OFF. Its non-fusible construction means there are no fusing elements to wear or fail over time, reducing maintenance concerns and ensuring predictable operation when it’s time to isolate power during servicing or emergencies. This also makes lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures simpler and more reliable in busy maintenance environments.
