Eaton DH361FGK - 30A, 600V, 3-Pole, Fused Disconnect Switch

The Eaton DH361FGK is a 30A, 600V, 3-Pole Fused Disconnect Switch engineered for demanding industrial and commercial environments where dependable electrical isolation matters. This robust solution delivers a decisive, safe disconnection of all phases, helping technicians perform maintenance without compromising safety.

Why this model stands out

• Comprehensive three-phase isolation: With a true 3-pole design, all live conductors can be disconnected simultaneously, reducing arc exposure and ensuring clear de-energization during servicing.
• Built-in overcurrent protection: The fused disconnect configuration provides local protection for feeders and motor circuits, helping limit fault energy and protect downstream equipment.
• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) readiness: Designed to integrate smoothly with standard LOTO procedures, making maintenance safer and helping facilities meet safety compliance requirements.
• Durable, long-term reliability: A rugged construction geared for steady performance in busy environments, delivering dependable isolation year after year.
• Ease of integration: The compact footprint and standardized three-pole layout simplify panel retrofits and new installations in switchgear and control panels.

Practical uses and scenarios

• Motor control centers and service panels in manufacturing facilities where quick and safe shutdowns are essential for maintenance and changeovers.
• Feeder disconnects for large motors, pumps, conveyors, and processing equipment that require reliable isolation under load.
• Commercial and industrial electrical rooms where clear, certified isolation supports safe work and downtime planning.

Performance and outcomes you can expect

• Reliable, predictable disconnection under load, minimizing downtime and reducing risk during routine maintenance or emergency shutdowns.
• Enhanced safety for personnel performing servicing, thanks to straightforward, lockable isolation points for each phase.
• Simplified compliance with safety programs and lockout/tagout policies through a switch that supports standard protective procedures.
