Eaton CB1233T120480GAX5 Pringle switch - UL Listed

High-current capability supports single-device switching of 1200A at 480V, reducing panel complexity and minimizing heat in crowded enclosures. This translates to fewer main feeders, faster panel wiring, and improved reliability in motor control centers and power distribution arrays found in manufacturing, mining, and processing facilities. The device's 120V control voltage also simplifies integration with standard control circuits and PLC outputs, enabling streamlined control strategies for safety interlocks and starting sequences. 1 NO-1 NC contact configuration provides straightforward interlocking and deterministic trip behavior, allowing precise control sequencing during startup and shutdown. The charge-before-close mechanism enhances arc suppression during operations, and the trip technology is designed for long life under repetitive cycling. Combined with a top-feed, three-wire arrangement, installation remains clean and predictable in most retrofits or new builds. Top feed and fusible protection options simplify wiring and safety design, while providing robust fault protection for critical loads. Optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, and Auxiliary Contact Provisions expand protection schemes without requiring additional cabinets. In practice, these features help meet safety standards and reduce unplanned downtime by catching faults before they cascade. UL Listed certification and NEMA ratings—1, 3R, 4, and 12—support compliant installation in a wide range of environments, from indoor panels to harsh outdoor enclosures. The combination of fusible protection and a rugged construction supports reliable operation in demanding settings, and the footprint accommodates a 16 in length, 24 in width, and 28 in height with a substantial 180 lb weight for robust, industrial-grade performance. Designed for top-feed installation and three-pole, three-wire configurations, this unit fits standard switchgear footprints and simplifies retrofit projects. Eaton’s one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment provides a clear ownership window and predictable service planning.
