Eaton CB1233T120208AXCT Pringle bolted pressure contact switch - UL Listed
Part Number: CB1233T120208AXCT
Quick Summary
Eaton CB1233T120208AXCT is a bolted pressure contact switch for high‑amperage protection in switchgear and motor control centers. Downtime and costly outages often stem from inadequate protection or miswired protection schemes; this device helps prevent fault energy transfer by delivering reliable trip performance. Key compliance includes UL Listed certification with broad NEMA ratings (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) to support rugged industrial use. This model supports 208V system voltage with a 1200A rating and a top feed, fusible configuration, with optional ground fault relay and auxiliary provisions. These features translate into reduced maintenance, easier regulatory compliance, and improved uptime for electrical distribution panels and switchgear assemblies.
