Square D DU222RB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Square D DU 60A non-fusible safety switch work as an outdoor AC disconnect?
Yes. The Square D DU general duty switch carries a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, which covers outdoor and wet-location mounting, and it is sized for typical air conditioning, lighting, and appliance loads at 60A, 240V AC. It also has a bolt-on hub provision so you can land your conduit at the top without field-fabricating a fitting.
2) Do I order the 2-pole or 3-pole version of the Square D DU 60 amp disconnect?
Pole count follows your circuit. The 2-pole DU222RB covers single-phase 240V work, the usual choice for a residential AC condenser or appliance circuit. The 3-pole DU322RB is for three-phase loads. Every other rating, 60A, 240V AC, Type R, NEMA 3R, non-fusible, is the same on both.
3) Is the Square D DU safety switch fusible, and does it give me overcurrent protection?
It is non-fusible. The DU is a single-throw disconnect only, it opens and closes the circuit and gives you a lockable means of disconnect, but there is no fuse protection inside. Your overcurrent protection has to come from the upstream breaker or a separate fusible disconnect. If the inspector or the drawing calls for fused disconnection at the equipment, you need a fusible switch instead, such as the ABB TG-Series general duty fusible safety switch.
4) Can I use the Square D DU 60A disconnect as a motor disconnect, and how big a motor?
Yes, within its horsepower rating: 15 hp at 240V AC 60 Hz on three-phase and 10 hp at 240V AC 60 Hz on single-phase. Above those, or on a 480V or 600V system, this switch is out of range, the DU is a 240V device only.
5) Can the Square D DU222RB be used as a generator transfer switch?
No, and this is a common mix-up. The DU222RB is a single-throw, non-fusible disconnect: it makes or breaks one set of conductors. A manual transfer between two sources requires a double-throw switch, such as the Eaton DT-223UGK heavy-duty double-throw non-fused switch in painted steel with a NEMA 1 enclosure. Keep in mind that NEMA 1 is for indoor mounting, while the DU222RB carries NEMA 3R for outdoor locations.
6) What is the difference between the Square D DU safety switch and the ABB TG-Series Spec-Setter?
Both are general duty safety switches. The Square D DU is a non-fusible single-throw disconnect rated 60A at 240V AC with lug terminations and a choice of 2-pole or 3-pole construction, so the circuit's overcurrent protection has to come from upstream. The ABB TG-Series Spec-Setter is a general duty fusible switch, meaning fuses are carried inside the switch itself. Choose the DU where a breaker already protects the circuit and you only need a local disconnecting means; choose a fusible general duty switch where the disconnect is expected to hold the fuses.
7) If I need a non-fusible disconnect larger than 60A, what should I use instead of the Square D DU?
The Square D DU general duty switch tops out at 60A, 240V AC. For a much larger non-fusible disconnect, the Eaton DH366URK is a K Series non-fusible safety switch rated 600A in a NEMA 3R enclosure, so it also suits outdoor and wet-location mounting like the DU's NEMA 3R construction. Use the DU for lighting, air conditioning and appliance circuits and motors up to 15 hp three-phase at 240V; step to the 600A K Series switch for service-size or large feeder disconnects.
8) Is the Square D DU switch rated for a 480V or 600V circuit?
No. The Square D DU general duty switch is rated 240V AC, so it is limited to 240V systems. For a 600V class circuit the ABB TC-72367 Spec-Setter is a heavy-duty fusible switch rated 3-pole 600V AC in a NEMA 1 enclosure, and the ABB THN3365A is a 400A 3-pole 600V heavy-duty switch. Note that both of those are different builds from the DU: the TC-72367 is fusible, and NEMA 1 is an indoor enclosure, where the DU's NEMA 3R rating permits outdoor and wet-location use.
9) What wire size will the lugs on the Square D DU 60A switch take?
Lugs accept AWG 14 through AWG 3 copper or AWG 12 through AWG 3 aluminum. Torque them to 35 lbf.in for AWG 14 through AWG 10 and 45 lbf.in for AWG 8. That range covers a 60A feeder in either metal, so a 6 AWG copper or 4 AWG aluminum run lands directly with no pin terminals or reducers.
10) When should I specify a heavy-duty safety switch instead of the Square D DU general duty switch?
The Square D DU is a general duty switch built for residential and light commercial circuits at 60A, 240V AC, with a quick make, quick break mechanism and NEMA 3R protection. Heavy-duty switches are the choice for industrial service and higher system voltages: the ABB THN3365A is a 400A 3-pole 600V heavy-duty switch, and the ABB TC-72367 Spec-Setter is a 3-pole 600V AC heavy-duty fusible switch. If the drawing calls for a 600V class or heavy-duty device, the DU does not meet it; for 240V lighting, HVAC and appliance disconnects it is the matching duty class.
11) I need an outdoor AC disconnect. Which of these switches can be mounted outside?
The Square D DU carries a NEMA 3R degree of protection, which supports outdoor and wet-location installation, and its Type R configuration includes a bolt-on hub provision for the conduit connection. The Eaton DH366URK K Series non-fusible switch is also a NEMA 3R enclosure. By contrast, the ABB TC-72367 and the Eaton DT-223UGK are both NEMA 1 enclosures, which are intended for indoor mounting.
12) What does Type R mean on the Square D DU disconnect?
Type R is the enclosure configuration, the rainproof NEMA 3R style box with a bolt-on hub provision for the conduit entry. Practically, it means you can mount it outdoors and bolt a rain-tight hub to the top rather than cutting and sealing your own opening.
