B-LINE 70-7997 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What safety switches does the B-Line 70-7997 switching base fit?
The 70-7997 base is made for 60A, three-pole, 250V fusible safety switches. Match all three of those on your existing switch before ordering: a two-pole switch, a 100A frame, or a non-fusible unit is a different base.
2) Is the 70-7997 base rated for 240V circuits?
Yes, it carries a 240V rating at 60A and three poles, which covers standard 240V three-phase or single-phase feeders within that amp rating. It is intended for switches rated to 250V, so do not use it on a 480V disconnect.
3) Can I use this base to repair an existing Eaton disconnect instead of replacing the whole unit?
That is exactly what it is for. If the enclosure is sound and the switching mechanism has failed, the 70-7997 base drops into a 60A three-pole 250V fusible heavy duty switch and saves pulling and re-terminating a whole disconnect. Confirm the amp rating, pole count and voltage stamped on your existing switch's nameplate first.
4) Is this a heavy duty or general duty safety switch base?
Heavy duty. That matters if you are maintaining an industrial or commercial disconnect, because heavy duty and general duty switches use different bases and the internals are not interchangeable between the two classes.
5) Do I get the fuses, cover, or handle with the 70-7997?
No. This is the switching base only, the mechanism assembly that mounts inside the enclosure. Fuses, the enclosure, cover and operating handle are separate items and are not part of this part number.
6) Where do I find the full specifications for Eaton part 70-7997?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the 70-7997, linked from the product description. It covers the base's electrical and mechanical detail beyond the 60A, three-pole, 240V ratings given in the product specs.
7) How heavy is the B-Line 70-7997 switching base for shipping and handling?
Listed at 1 lb, so it is a one-hand part for a service van and no lift equipment is needed on site.
