Special features
BFD with no lights (trips switch)
Three-pole bolted pressure contact switch provides robust protection for large feeders, reducing arc exposure and extending equipment life; this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved system availability in manufacturing and data center environments. Bottom-feed configuration simplifies wiring during panel fabrication and enables cleaner, more secure terminations, which cuts installation time and minimizes field fault potential. Fusible protection adds a controlled, fast-clearing path for overloads, boosting safety and reducing the risk of collateral damage to downstream gear while maintaining compliance with industry protection schemes. Ground fault with control transformer integration enhances personnel safety and enables rapid fault isolation, supporting regulatory requirements and reducing downtime from nuisance trips. NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 compatibility broadens enclosure options across harsh environments, ensuring reliable operation in washdowns, outdoor, or dusty facilities. Optional features such as Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, and Single Phase Protection offer tailored protection without requiring a full device replacement, delivering long-term cost efficiency. The 120 V control voltage complements 208 V main power, simplifying integration with existing control systems and enabling straightforward retrofit into legacy switchgear. The is designed for industrial switchgear architectures, providing predictable performance under peak loads and facilitating safer, faster maintenance.

FAQs

Ensure the device is mounted in a compatible enclosure (NEMA ratings up to 4 and 12 as supported), with bottom-feed wiring. Use 208 V system power and 120 V control voltage, and verify auxiliaries align with catalog options such as Ground Fault Relay or auxiliary contacts to match your control architecture.
The device is rated for 1200 A, with a system voltage of 208 V and a control voltage of 120 V. It is designed for three-pole operation and is suitable for main feeders in industrial switchgear, data centers, and manufacturing facilities seeking reliable fault protection.
Yes, thanks to UL Listing and compatible NEMA ratings (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12). This enables use in a range of environments, including damp, dusty, or outdoor-rated enclosures when paired with appropriate enclosures and mounting practices.
UL Listed certification is standard, with optional features including Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, and auxiliary contact provisions. These options support enhanced safety, reliability, and fault diagnostics without replacing the entire device.
Expect improved uptime due to precise tripping and reduced nuisance trips, lower maintenance costs from built-in diagnostics, and safer operation through ground-fault protection. The device’s robustness and compatibility with existing control systems also simplify upgrades and retrofit projects, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
