FAQs
For installation, ensure correct top-feed orientation and secure mounting to a rigid frame or panel backplane. Verify three-pole, three-wire wiring with the included CTs and relay, and provide clearances for heat dissipation and maintenance access. Use appropriate safety procedures, lockout/tagout, and confirm compatibility with existing Eaton protection devices to ensure proper coordination.
The switch is rated for 1200A continuous amperage with a main voltage of 480V and a control voltage of 120V. It is fusible and includes an AFGF relay with matched current transformers. These specifications support high‑current feeder protection and reliable fault isolation in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. CB1233T120480C is designed to work within Eaton protection architectures, leveraging matched CTs and the included AFGF relay for coordinated protection. Compatibility with existing switchgear and control panels simplifies retrofits and minimizes re-wiring, while maintaining consistent protection coordination across the system.
This switch is ideal for high-current feeders and motor circuits in industrial plants, control centers, and switchgear assemblies. Its top-feed design and three-pole configuration make it well-suited for space-constrained enclosures and for integration into panels requiring rugged, fusible protection with reliable fault clearing.
The integrated relay and matched CTs streamline commissioning and reduce field wiring, lowering installation time and ongoing maintenance costs. UL Listed certification supports regulatory audits, while the robust 1200A/480V rating minimizes downtime due to protective device failures, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the plant lifecycle.
