Feature → Business Impact → Application: The internal breaker in the 2460B-480 provides overcurrent protection at the point of use, reducing fault propagation and shortening mean time to repair in automation panels, which translates to lower downtime and improved uptime. This is especially valuable in high-availability conveyor systems or process controls where quick fault isolation is critical and panel space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP66-rated brass construction delivers superior resistance to water, dust, and corrosion, increasing service life in wash-down zones and outdoor enclosures, lowering replacement costs and maintenance frequency for marine and outdoor equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Three-wire, two-pole configuration aligns with standard 480 VAC control circuits, enabling straightforward wiring schemes and faster commissioning, while meeting common safety and code expectations in electrical protection and circuit control setups. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact Pauluhn form factor and precise dimensions (7.81 in L, 13.44 in H, 6 in W) ensure seamless integration into standard enclosures, improving installation time and reducing retrofit risk in retrofits or new-build panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Brass material and a 15A, 480 VAC rating provide reliable mechanical and electrical performance, supporting longer service intervals, reduced maintenance costs, and improved system reliability across automation facilities. Industry-context notes: The Pauluhn 246/247 family is a trusted choice in rugged industrial environments, offering compatibility with conventional 15A circuits and demanding durability requirements without compromising ease of access for field technicians.

FAQs
The 2460B-480 uses a three-wire, two-pole configuration rated for 15A at 480 VAC and is designed for Pauluhn-style mounting in standard industrial enclosures. Its IP66 protection supports wash-down environments, and the internal breaker simplifies wiring by providing overcurrent protection at the point of use.
This receptacle carries IP66 ingress protection and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification. It uses brass construction for durability and is designed for 15A, 480 VAC circuits with an internal breaker for enhanced protection and reliability in industrial settings.
Yes. The IP66 rating provides robust water and dust resistance, and the brass body offers corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for wash-down environments, outdoor enclosures, and many marine applications where reliable 480 VAC service is needed in ordinary locations.
The internal breaker protects connected equipment from overcurrent conditions at the receptacle, simplifying wiring and reducing fault propagation. This leads to faster fault isolation, less downtime, and easier maintenance in automated control panels and power-distribution assemblies.
The unit measures 7.81 inches in length, 13.44 inches in height, and 6 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 31.5 pounds. These dimensions fit common Pauluhn-style enclosures and support straightforward mounting, which reduces retrofit risk and accelerates commissioning in new builds.
