• Amperage: 60 A
• Voltage: 240 V
• Poles: 3-Pole
• Fusible: Fusible (fuse-protected)

Designed for serious duty, the FDPT3212R serves as a compact, maintainable solution for motor disconnects, panelboards, and branch circuit protection. Its fusible design gives you a tailored protection approach—select the appropriate fuses to match your load profile, enabling precise overcurrent protection without sacrificing accessibility or serviceability.

Why this Westinghouse fusible switch stands out

• Reliable triple-pole isolation: With 3-Pole operation, all hot lines switch together, simplifying lockout/tagout procedures and delivering safer maintenance and servicing.
• Purpose-built for protection and control: The fusible configuration provides integrated overcurrent protection for circuits that require a dedicated, switchable fuse element alongside disconnect capability.
• Compact yet capable: A smaller footprint designed for panelboards and restricted spaces, while still delivering the performance needed for commercial and light-industrial applications.
• Versatile usage scenarios: Ideal for motor disconnects, feeders, and branch-circuit protection where a dedicated, maintainable fused switch is advantageous.
• Brand-backed reliability: Westinghouse brings decades of electrical reliability and a focus on devices that technicians can trust in daily operations.

Practical applications and use cases

• Motor disconnects in conveyors, pumps, or HVAC equipment where a dedicated, fuse-protected switch is preferred for safety and serviceability.
• Panelboard installations needing a compact, controlled access point for overcurrent protection and isolation.
• Branch circuit protection in commercial electrical rooms where reliable, straightforward maintenance is key.

Why choose a fusible switch like the FDPT3212R over other disconnect options? Because it combines a clear, on/off control with intentional, fuse-supported protection, reducing the risk of overcurrent damage while keeping maintenance straightforward. The 60 A rating is well-matched to a wide range of motors and feeders commonly found in industrial and commercial settings, making it a practical upgrade or replacement for aging or less-protected disconnect devices.

Tips for getting the most from your FDPT3212R

• Pair this switch with appropriately sized fuses to achieve your targeted protection level for your specific load.
• Use it in environments where visible, accessible isolation is important for safety and compliance during servicing.
• Regularly inspect fuse elements and contact surfaces to maintain reliable switching performance over time.
• Plan your wiring and panel layout to maximize the efficiency of maintenance work and minimize downtime during fuse changes.

Whether you’re updating a panelboard, integrating a compact motor disconnect, or enriching branch circuit protection, the Westinghouse FDPT3212R delivers dependable, fuse-protected control in a compact, maintainable package. It’s the practical, purpose-built choice for professionals who value safety, reliability, and straightforward service in demanding electrical environments.
