Eaton Specification Sheet - CB1233T120208KG
High-current capability delivers 1200A rating, enabling safe switching of heavy motor loads. This reduces the need for device stacking and minimizes arc exposure, cutting maintenance cycles and downtime in power distribution panels. Application: ideal for MCCs and switchgear in manufacturing lines, water treatment, and process industries where reliability matters. Three-pole top-feed design simplifies wiring and improves fault isolation. Business impact: fewer wiring errors, faster installation, and easier commissioning. Application: fits top-feed protection schemes in new builds or retrofits across plant facilities. Interlock and protective features ensure safe operation during closing sequences. Impact: reduces the risk of inadvertent de-energization and enhances operator safety. Application: critical in safety-compliant switchgear deployments in industrial automation. Ground fault relay options and auxiliary contact provisions provide flexible protection schemes. Impact: supports single-phase protection, fault detection, and remote signaling without replacing major hardware. Application: useful in facilities with strict protection requirements and integration with plant-wide control systems. Rugged enclosure ratings and fusible protection match demanding environments. Impact: UL Listed certification and NEMA 1/3R/4/12 compatibility enable indoor and outdoor installations with predictable performance. Application: suitable for harsh factory floors, outdoors, and wash-down areas where protection matters. Compatibility and installation advantages through standard dimensions (16 in length, 28 in height, 24 in width) and 180 lb frame weight contribute to straightforward retrofits and serviceability.

FAQs
When retrofitting or deploying in new MCCs, plan for top-feed wiring and 208V system integration, ensuring conductor sizing matches the 1200A rating and that the 120V control power transformer is properly phased. Include optional ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts if your protection scheme requires remote signaling or single-phase protection. Allow space for interlocks and adequate ventilation to sustain performance in harsh environments.
The switch provides a 1200A amperage rating with fusible protection and three-pole topology to safely interrupt large motor currents. Protection options include fusible elements, ground fault relay, and auxiliary contacts, enabling robust fault detection, sequencing, and interlock control. This configuration reduces nuisance trips and improves fault clearing times in demanding manufacturing or process facilities.
Yes, the CB1233T120208KG is designed for 208V distributions with a three-pole, three-wire arrangement. It supports NEMA 1, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 12 enclosures, enabling indoor and outdoor installations and compatibility with rugged environments. UL Listed certification further reinforces compliance for safety and reliability in regulated industries.
The interlock, ground fault options, and straightforward top-feed wiring reduce installation complexity and commissioning time, lowering initial costs. The robust construction minimizes contact wear under heavy loads, extending service intervals and reducing replacement expenses. Overall, the system delivers lower lifecycle costs with predictable performance over time in harsh industrial settings.
