FAQs
The CB1233B120208PC is designed for bottom-feed, three-pole, three-wire installations in industrial switchgear and control panels. It supports 208V systems with a 120V control circuit and fusible protection, and its NEMA-compatible enclosure ratings enable use in varied indoor environments. Optional grounding and auxiliary provisions simplify retrofits and PLC integration.
The unit incorporates a single-phase capacitor trip device (Taylor), which provides faster and more reliable trip performance for single-phase faults. This reduces nuisance trips and minimizes fault energy transfer to protected equipment, improving overall motor protection and extending equipment life in demanding industrial settings.
Yes. It is explicitly rated for 208V system voltage with a 120V control circuit and a 1200A amperage rating, making it suitable for heavy-duty motor protection in machine rooms, production lines, and switchgear assemblies that operate at industrial 208V power networks.
This switch carries UL Listed certification for electrical safety. It also supports multiple NEMA enclosure ratings including NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12, enabling installation across various environments. Optional provisions for ground fault, blown fuse detection, and auxiliary contacts further enhance regulatory compliance and safety integration.
Consolidating protection into a single bolted pressure contact switch reduces device count, wiring, and spare-part needs, lowering maintenance cost and downtime. The capacitor trip device improves fault clearance reliability, while UL/NEMA compliance reduces procurement risk. The result is enhanced system availability and a clear return on investment through reduced downtime and faster maintenance cycles.
