FAQs
This unit uses a top-feed, three-pole configuration designed for straightforward mounting in compatible switchgear enclosures. Plan for a 16 in length, 28 in height, and 24 in width footprint, with a total weight of 180 lb. Ensure the enclosure supports 480 V systems and that wiring complies with local electrical codes and UL requirements. Consider mounting clearance for heat dissipation and future maintenance.
The switch provides a 1200 A amperage rating, 480 V system voltage, and 120 V control voltage, with fusible protection. It is UL Listed and compatible with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosures. Optional features enable Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary contacts, enhancing fault diagnostics while maintaining regulatory compliance for industrial environments.
Yes. The three-pole, three-wire design supports high-load three-phase circuits up to 480 V, making it suitable for large motor feeders, conveyors, and presses. The 1200 A rating ensures robust protection, while the fuse configuration provides reliable fault isolation. For motor startup, ensure coordination with drive protection and appropriate control wiring.
Optional features include Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Auxiliary Contact Provisions, and Kirk provisions. These options enable enhanced fault detection, expanded interlock schemes, and compatibility with plant safety requirements, reducing downtime and improving diagnostic visibility for maintenance teams.
Designed for reliability in high-load environments, the switch reduces unplanned outages and simplifies spare-part planning due to UL safety certification and standard enclosure compatibility. The 1-year Eaton warranty provides support against manufacturing defects, while optional diagnostics features help identify faults earlier, supporting a favorable total cost of ownership in large-scale distributions.
