Eaton DPB222R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 60A Eaton DPB222R disconnect handle a 5 ton condenser on a 240V circuit?
The DPB222R is a 60A, 240V molded case disconnect rated 10 hp at 240 V, which covers essentially any residential or light commercial split system condenser. What decides it is the nameplate on the unit, not the tonnage: check the MCA and MOCP on the condenser data plate. If the MOCP is 60A or less, this switch is sized for it. Above 60A you need a larger disconnect.
2) Can the Eaton DPB222R air conditioning disconnect be mounted outdoors next to the condenser?
Yes. The enclosure is NEMA 3R in galvanized steel, which is the rating for outdoor rain and sleet exposure, and it is finished in ANSI 61 grey. That is exactly the mounting position code expects for an AC disconnect: on the exterior wall within sight of the outdoor unit.
3) Is the DPB222R a fused or non-fused disconnect?
It is a molded case switch, not a fusible pullout. There are no fuses to buy or stock with it, and no fuse clips inside. Overcurrent protection stays at the breaker in the panel, so size that breaker to the condenser's MOCP. The switch itself carries a 10 kAIC interrupt rating.
4) Is 10 kAIC enough interrupting rating for an AC disconnect?
For the vast majority of residential and light commercial services, yes. The DPB222R is rated 10 kAIC, which matches the standard rating on residential branch breakers. Where an engineer has done a short circuit study and the available fault current at the disconnect exceeds 10 kA, this switch is not the right device and you need a higher AIC unit.
5) What is the replacement switch part number for an Eaton DPB222R disconnect?
If the switch itself fails and the enclosure is sound, the replacement molded case switch is Eaton BR260NA. That lets you swap the guts without pulling the box off the wall or redoing the conduit.
6) Can I use an AC disconnect like the DPB222R on a heat pump or a rooftop unit, not just a straight cool condenser?
Yes. A 60A 240V non-fused disconnect serves any single phase 240V outdoor unit within its rating: heat pumps, rooftop package units, and mini split condensers all use the same service disconnect. The one thing to confirm is voltage. If the equipment is 208/240 three phase or 480V, this 240V switch is the wrong device.
7) Does a molded case AC disconnect switch make sense instead of a pullout disconnect?
A pullout is cheaper and has no moving mechanism, but service techs have to find and reinsert the block, and the pull can walk away. A molded case switch like the DPB222R has a real operating handle that stays with the box, so a tech can kill and restore power one handed, and the position is visible from the ground. Where a property manager is standardizing across many units and wants the same predictable shutoff at every pad, the switch version is the one to spec.
