FAQs
Yes. The CB1233T120480AX6 is designed for top-feed, three-pole installations in 480V systems, delivering reliable protection for 3‑phase motor feeders. Its fusible configuration and charge-before-close mechanism support coordinated breaking and safe sequential switching in standard switchgear bays. For best results, confirm enclosure dimensions (16 in depth, 28 in height, 24 in width) fit your panel and consult the Eaton catalog for mounting clearances.
The device is rated for 1200A continuous current with a 480V system voltage and 120V control voltage. It provides three-pole protection with a fusible topology and a top-feed configuration, suitable for high‑load industrial applications. These ratings enable protection of large motors and feeders while allowing integration with standard control circuits in compliant equipment.
This switch is well-suited for industrial power distribution, switchgear protection, and motor feeder protection in sectors such as manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and process automation. Its NEMA compatibility (1, 3R, 4, 12) supports both indoor and semi-enclosed environments, making it a robust choice for harsh factory floor conditions and automated lines requiring dependable fault protection.
The CB1233T120480AX6 is UL Listed, ensuring compliance with safety standards for electrical devices. It also offers enclosure and environmental compatibility via NEMA ratings 1, 3R, 4, and 12. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals, support safe operation in diverse environments, and align with plant-wide safety programs and procurement policies that prioritize certified, reliable protection equipment.
Expect improved uptime from precise trip coordination, reduced nuisance trips, and easier fault diagnostics thanks to optional ground fault and blown fuse detection features. Routine checks should verify wiring integrity, enclosure seals, and accessory options (auxiliary contacts, Kirk provisions). The higher reliability and extended asset life typically translate to lower total cost of ownership and a favorable return on investment in critical manufacturing and processing applications.
