Rated 600 Vdc, 50 hp in addition to ratings shown in table.

Warning: Switch is not approved for service entrance.

Field-installable neutral kit is not available. If a neutral is required, order the catalog number shown in the table with “N” suffix.

NEMA 12 enclosures (30–800A) can be field modified to meet NEMA 3R rainproof requirements when a factory-provided drain hole is opened.

Also available in 240 Vac, catalog number DT325UDK.

Double-throw safety switches

applied in emergency power

or generator applications may

require a switched neutral in lieu

of a solid neutral. If the neutral

of the generator is bonded

to a grounding system at the

generator, then a separately

derived system (reference NEC

250-20[D] and Exhibit 250.7) has

been created and a switched

neutral in the double-throw safety

switch is required. The switching

neutral is required to avoid the

potential for backfeeding of the

power that might occur if the

safety switch neutral is also

bonded. If the generator neutral

is brought to the service where

it is bonded and grounded, then

a non-separately derived system

has been created and a solid

neutral must be used in the

double-throw safety switch.

Most double-throw safety

switches in today’s market are

provided with solid neutrals and

are not UL listed for switching

neutral application. The market,

some utilities and local codes

are requiring the ability to break

or switch the neutral on three-

and four-pole double-throw

switches with a UL listing for that

capability. Three-pole switches

are used for single-phase

switching neutral applications,

while four-pole switches are used

for three-phase switching neutral

applications. In many cases, three-

and four-pole double-throw safety

switches are being installed in

the field with the left-most pole

being used as the switching

neutral, but the switch is not

UL listed for that application.

Eaton non-fusible three-pole and

four-pole double-throw safety

switches 30–800A are UL listed

for switching neutral application

with the proper installation of

the applicable switching neutral

bonding kit shown in the

Accessories section of this bro-

chure. Each bonding kit comes

with applicable materials, hard-

ware, instruction sheet and

adhesive-backed wiring schematic.

The bonding kits can only be

used on non-fusible double-throw

safety switches. When a bond-

ing kit is applied to a three-pole

switch, the switch becomes a

single-phase switch with single-

phase horsepower ratings.

A double-throw safety switch

with the appropriate bonding kit

installed is suitable for service

entrance use. Typically, a four-pole

double-throw safety switch is not

suitable for service entrance use;

however, with the appropriate

bonding kit installed, the four-

pole switch is suitable for service

entrance use as noted on the

device publication of the product.

Switching neutral bonding kits

can also be factory installed

by Eaton’s unique Switching

Device Flex Center. See the end

of this brochure for additional

information on the Flex Center.
