FAQs
For best results, mount the CB1233T120208ARCT in a vertical or horizontal enclosure suitable for NEMA 1, 3R, 4, or 12 environments. Use top-feed wiring with a three-wire configuration and ensure fusible protection per system design. Verify clearances for three-pole operation and install the control transformer if used with the BFD lighting indicators.
The switch is rated for 1200A, with a 208V system voltage and a 120V control voltage. It features three poles, three wires, and fusible protection. It supports top-feed configuration and carries UL Listed certification, with NEMA ratings including 1, 3R, 4, and 12 to suit various indoor and outdoor electrical environments.
Yes, the NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) provide versatility for standard indoor industrial spaces and more demanding environments where protective enclosures are needed. When selecting for process facilities or outdoor installations, ensure enclosure integrity and cooling are matched to the current rating and that any optional features, such as ground fault or auxiliary contacts, are specified.
CB1233T120208ARCT carries UL Listed certification, indicating compliance with electrical safety standards. It is also specified for several NEMA enclosure ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12), which informs appropriate use cases and environmental suitability for reliable, compliant operation in industrial settings.
The model supports optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Kirk Provisions, and Auxiliary Contact Provisions, enabling tailored protection schemes and upgrades without replacing the entire assembly. Routine checks should include verifying trip lights, testing the control transformer (if installed), and confirming continuity on auxiliary circuits during preventive maintenance.
