The DS16FK converts standard safety switches to accept only Class R fuses, providing an added layer of protection against over-fusing by physically preventing the installation of higher-rated or wrong-type fuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the GE DS16FK?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DS16FK is an essential safety upgrade for any facility running GE-style DH or DT series safety switches on 30A or 60A circuits. By converting fuse clips to Class R rejection type, you permanently prevent the installation of fuses with higher interrupt ratings or incorrect sizes — a common cause of equipment damage and arc flash incidents in commercial and industrial electrical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e DS16FK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Class R Fuse Rejection Adapter Kit (Field Installable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Switches:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30A 600V DH (Heavy Duty) and DT (Double Throw) safety switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60A 240V DH and DT safety switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60A DG (General Duty) safety switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuse Type Accepted After Conversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Class R only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Poles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field installable (UL Listed for field installation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\/Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e GE BuyLog™ series safety switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is a Class R Fuse Rejection Kit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Class R fuse rejection kit replaces or modifies the fuse clips inside a safety switch so that only Class R (RK1 or RK5) current-limiting fuses can be physically inserted. Class R fuses offer superior current-limiting performance compared to older Class H fuses. The rejection feature ensures that once upgraded, the switch cannot accidentally accept a non-current-limiting fuse — protecting downstream equipment and reducing arc flash energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading legacy GE safety switches from Class H to Class R fusing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEC code compliance for current-limiting fuse requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor branch circuit protection upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArc flash hazard reduction programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30A and 60A safety switch installations on 240V and 600V systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always de-energize and verify the switch is in the OFF position before installing.
