Footnotes

  1. Rating applies to AC only. The UL Listed short circuit current rating for non-fusible switches is based on the switch being used in conjunction with the corresponding fuse type. Evaluation of non-fusible switches in conjunction with molded case circuit breakers has not been performed.
  2. Any brand of circuit breaker or fuse not exceeding the ampere rating of the switch may be used ahead of a non-fusible safety switch when there is up to 10 kA short circuit current available.
  3. The DTU361 and DTU361RB are also suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than
    (A) 18 kA, 600 Vac maximum when using Type FH circuit breaker rated 30 A maximum or
    (B) 14 kA, 600 Vac maximum when using Type FA circuit breaker rated 30 A maximum.
