Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CB1233T120480GAR7 offers a 1200 A amperage rating with a 2 NO-2 NC contact configuration in a three-pole assembly, enabling large-motor and high-load switching in one switchgear module. This translates to fewer devices in the field, lower wiring complexity, and improved reliability in motor control centers that demand robust fault protection. Application: ideal for centralized power distribution in manufacturing lines and heavy industry, where every amp counts and downtime costs scale with line productivity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Top feed and fusible protection simplify wiring and replaceable fuse planning, reducing installation time and service intervals on crowded panels. Application: suitable for feeder protection in switchgear assemblies supporting 480 V systems with top-entry wiring. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Charge-before-close operation with an electrical trip mechanism minimizes arcing and enhances safety, lowering arc-flash risk during switching operations. Application: critical in MCCs and power distribution cabinets with frequent switching cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ground fault with control power transformer and optional auxiliary provisions provide enhanced fault detection and configurability, supporting compliance and rapid fault isolation. Application: recommended for facilities needing enhanced protection against ground faults in complex three-wire, three-pole configurations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification and NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility (1, 3R, 4, 12) deliver regulatory confidence and rugged performance in varied environments. Application: suitable for industrial environments requiring documented compliance and durable protection against dust, moisture, and incidental exposure.

FAQs

CB1233T120480GAR7 is designed for three-pole, top-feed installations within Eaton-compatible switchgear and panelboards. It supports 1200 A service with 480 V system voltage and 120 V control circuits. Ensure mounting fits standard 16 in depth and 24 in width envelopes, and verify available space for the fusible top-feed arrangement before ordering auxiliary components such as ground fault relays.
Key specs include 1200 A amperage rating, 480 V system voltage, 120 V control voltage, and a 2NO-2NC contact configuration in a three-pole package. These capabilities allow handling high-load motors with reduced component count, faster commissioning, and lower likelihood of panel overcrowding, thereby enhancing uptime and simplifying future expansions.
Yes, the unit carries UL Listed certification and is compatible with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosures, which cover a broad range of indoor and rugged outdoor conditions. This combination supports reliable protection against dust and moisture, meeting common industrial and safety requirements for power distribution equipment.
Expect reduced maintenance frequency due to a robust trip mechanism (charge-before-close) and integrated fault sensing. The top-feed fusible design simplifies wiring and fuse replacement, lowering labor costs during routine service. The 180 lb weight and sizable enclosure imply dedicated mounting, but savings accrue from fewer components and longer intervals between panel revisions.
