Eaton Specification Sheet - CB1233T120208PC6
High current and voltage ratings enable robust single‑phase motor protection for large loads, with a 1200A amperage rating and 208V system voltage supporting demanding industrial applications. This feature reduces nuisance trips and improves overall equipment uptime, directly impacting production availability in motor control centers and panel assemblies. The top feed fuse configuration and capacitor trip device (Taylor) deliver fast, reliable protection coordination, minimizing arc flash risk and downstream damage while simplifying commissioning for plant engineers working on complex control schemes. Compatibility with optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Kirk provisions, and Auxiliary Contact Provisions enhances protection coverage and control integration, delivering safer, more observable fault diagnostics in manufacturing environments. The NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) provide rugged enclosure compatibility for indoor, outdoor, and harsh environments, reducing enclosure-specific design constraints and accelerating installation. Ergonomic design features—such as a handle suitable for 6'6" reach—ease maintenance and turnover during scheduled downtime, reducing labor hours and improving maintenance efficiency. Overall, the CB1233T120208PC6 aligns with uptime targets and safety standards while offering scalable protection and straightforward upgrade paths within the Eaton portfolio.

FAQs
CB1233T120208PC6 is designed for top-feed, three-pole installations and accommodates common industrial enclosures rated for NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12. Its fusible design and option for ground fault protection simplify retrofits in existing Eaton panels or new builds, reducing enclosure modification needs and supporting straightforward wiring and control integration.
The device combines a capacitor trip mechanism and a top-feed fuse configuration to deliver fast, reliable protection for single-phase loads. With 1200A current rating and 208V system voltage, it limits fault duration, minimizes collateral damage, and supports safe coordination with downstream protection devices in motor control centers.
Yes. The unit lists NEMA ratings 1, 3R, 4, and 12, indicating suitability for indoors, outdoors, dusty, and damp conditions. This translates to fewer enclosure-specific design constraints, faster installation, and reduced need for additional protective housings in many industrial settings.
When using the capacitor trip device, ensure correct wiring to the control circuit and verify coordination with upstream protective devices. Optional auxiliary contacts and Kirk provisions enable status monitoring and remote signaling, which simplifies integration with BMS/SCADA and improves fault visibility during maintenance and inspections.
The CB1233T120208PC6 offers robust protection, reducing unplanned downtime and extending motor life, which lowers maintenance and replacement costs. With UL Listed certification and Eaton warranty terms, customers benefit from compliance certainty and access to spares, documentation, and technical support for long-term reliability and asset protection.
