Eaton DHR5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size Eaton rotary disconnect switch does the DHR5 direct handle fit?
The Eaton R9 Series DHR5 direct handle is built for Eaton rotary disconnect switches rated 100 to 400A. It is an Eaton R9 accessory, so it is matched to Eaton rotary switch mechanisms in that amperage band. A switch outside 100-400A takes a different handle.
2) What is the difference between a direct handle and an extended or flange-mounted handle on a disconnect switch?
A direct handle like the Eaton DHR5 bolts straight onto the switch operating mechanism, so you turn the switch itself with no extension shaft in between. That is the right choice when the switch is mounted where you can reach it directly. If the switch sits inside an enclosure and you need to operate it from the door or through a panel face, you need an extended or flange-mounted handle with a shaft instead, not this one.
3) Can I use the DHR5 as a replacement handle on an existing Eaton disconnect that has a broken handle?
Yes, provided the existing switch is an Eaton rotary disconnect in the 100-400A range and it was originally fitted with a direct-mount handle. The DHR5 is the genuine Eaton R9 accessory for that configuration, so fit and function match the factory part. If the original was operated through a door-mounted shaft, you need the extended handle version, not the DHR5.
4) How much room do I need in the enclosure for the Eaton DHR5 handle?
Allow for a footprint of 1.77 in wide, 2 in long/deep, and 1 in high. That is a compact envelope for a 100-400A rotary switch handle, so it generally works in tight panel and enclosure layouts, but check the depth clearance to the door since the 2 in dimension projects off the mechanism.
5) What color is the Eaton R9 direct handle, and is there a yellow/red service-disconnect version?
The DHR5 handle is black. Black is the standard non-emergency operating color; if your spec calls for a red handle on a yellow plate for a service or emergency disconnect, the DHR5 is not that part and you would need to order the appropriately colored handle for your application.
6) What part number do I order for the Eaton R9 black direct handle?
Order Eaton part number DHR5. That is the R9 Series direct handle in black for rotary disconnect switches rated 100-400A. The handle ships as the operating handle only; the rotary switch body and any shaft or shroud are separate parts.
7) Where is an Eaton R9 direct handle typically used?
Typical spots are rotary disconnect switch assemblies inside motor control and protection panels, industrial and commercial enclosures, and panelboard or switchgear servicing and retrofit work. It is an electrical accessory for manual switch actuation on power distribution equipment, common on both new construction and renovation jobs.
