FAQs

Installing the CB1233B120208PAXC involves securing the bolted contact switch within a panelboard or MCC per Eaton’s installation guidelines. Ensure bottom-feed configuration aligns with your feeder layout, wire three conductors correctly, and attach the capacitor trip device as specified. The unit supports optional ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts, simplifying future protection upgrades without major rewiring. Verify enclosure rating alignment with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, or 12 as required by your environment, and confirm UL Listed compliance before energizing the circuit.
Key ratings include a 1200 A amperage rating, system voltage of 208 V, and control voltage of 120 V. It is a three-pole, three-wire, fusible device with a capacitor trip feature for single-phase protection and a bottom feed configuration. The switch is designed for reliable protection of large feeders in industrial panels, with optional features such as a ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts to expand protection schemes.
This switch is well-suited for heavy-duty electrical distribution in manufacturing, processing plants, and energy-intensive facilities. It supports panelboards and motor control centers needing robust single-phase protection, especially where large feeders require fusible protection and capacitor trip for reliable fault clearance. Its UL Listed certification and compatibility with NEMA-rated enclosures make it a versatile choice for rugged, mission-critical environments.
The CB1233B120208PAXC carries UL Listed certification, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical equipment. While the data highlights UL Listed status, users should consult the datasheet for any additional certifications or regional compliance requirements. The device’s NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility further supports safe operation in appropriate environments, aligning with most industrial safety programs and installation codes.
Maximize ROI by adhering to Eaton’s warranty terms (1 year from installation or 18 months from shipment) and performing routine inspection of connectors, fuse configurations, and auxiliary contacts. Schedule periodic functional tests of the capacitor trip device and ensure bottom-feed wiring remains secure. The unit’s modular options—ground fault relay and auxiliary provisions—enable scalable upgrades without full panel rebuilds, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
