High-current protection is built around a 1200A rating and 480V system support, enabling robust control of large motors and feeders, reducing fault-current spikes and downtime. This capability translates to faster fault isolation and safer operation in industrial environments. Top-feed fuse configuration and fusible protection provide precise interrupting performance during faults. Safer disconnections prevent collateral damage and simplify coordination with upstream protective devices, reducing maintenance costs and improving MTBF in switchgear assemblies. Three-pole, three-wire construction aligns with common 480V distribution schemes for straightforward wiring, simplifying installation and enabling reliable phase balance; this accelerates commissioning and reduces field wiring errors in motor control centers. UL Listed certification and broad NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) give engineers confidence across indoor and outdoor enclosures, easing compliance and expanding enclosure compatibility. Optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Kirk Provisions, and Auxiliary Contacts allow a tailored protection strategy, aiding diagnostic reporting and remote monitoring, which lowers service costs and improves plant reliability. With dimensions of 16 in length, 28 in height, and 24 in width (180 lb), the unit fits standard enclosures and supports installation with a handle designed for 6 ft 6 in clearance.
