Questions & Answers
Can this be used in conjunction to a generator interlock switch? The goal is to use this device to select either battery or generator as the source of power in the event that the grid goes down. The interlock switch would ensure it’s only active when the
Hello, Unfortunately, we do not offer a safety switch capable of alternating between three different sources. Should you require additional support, kindly reach out to our technical support team by dialing 877-386-2273, and select options 2, 3, and 1, or you may send an email to TRC@Eaton.com.
Is this suitable to switch between loads? I want to install a car charger that i will use once or twice a month on an existing 50amp 240 breaker that powers my electric range. Would like to switch off range/switch on car charger for overnight charging.
Hello, Yes, the DT223URH-N can be used for that application.
What is the model number of this switch? Is it the -N (with neutral) or not?
Hello, The catalog number for that switch will be DT223URH. However, if you need the switch to be non-fusible with a neutral, the catalog number will be DT223URH-N.
Can 2/0 wire be used with this?
Hello Susan, This will accept wire sizes #14 to 1/0. Regards, Eaton
According to Eaton, 14 thru 1/0 wire can be used.
What size wire will the lugs accommodate?
I used #1 for 150amp but will never put more than 100 amp. through it.
Hello, the wire size range is (1) #14 to 1/0. Regards, Eaton
Is this switch service rated
It was Service Entrance rated.
Hello James, this switch is suitable for service entrance rated. Regards, Eaton
Does it isolate the neutral as well? So there is no way for it to back feed any energy out on to the incoming line.
No it does not, you would need a three pole switch to do this. However in most all applications it is not necessary to isolate the neutral/grounded conductor. it would be dangerous to isolate the neutral and not ground it properly as the neutral wire is intentionally attached to the service grounded conductor and then attached to the grounding electrode (ground rod) conductor at the service entrance. I am not condoning your thoughts, but be sure you are well aware that a floating neutral wire (one that is not grounded) can create a unintentional hazard in a electrical system.
No, it does not switch nor isolate neutral. You'll need a 3-pole switch for that. Those exist, but for a bit more money at 100A. However do more research on whether switching neutral is necessary; it might not be on a fixed/installed generator. (it will definitely be on a portable.)
Is this switch rated as a service entrance disconnecting means
Hello, DT223URH-N can be used as service entrance when the neutral and ground are bonded. Regards, Eaton.
No, none fusable, so not designed as a service disconnect.
