FAQs
Plan for a top-feed configuration and allocate clearance for a 16 in L x 24 in W x 28 in H enclosure. Confirm 480V system voltage and 120V control voltage compatibility, then wire per the three-wire, fusible protection scheme. Use the optional auxiliary contact provisions and ground fault features if your safety scheme requires additional signaling and fault detection.
The switch supports 1200A amperage and 480 V system voltage with a 120 V control circuit. It offers fusible protection and is UL Listed, with NEMA ratings of 1, 3R, 4, and 12. This makes it suitable for robust control panels and harsh environments while providing reliable trip and protection functionality.
Yes. The catalog notes indicate optional ground fault relay availability and a ground fault with control transformer configuration, enabling coordinated protection and safer shutdown in systems where ground fault events must be detected rapidly.
CB1233T120480GAX6 is UL Listed, a key certification that supports compliance with industry safety standards. This helps validate risky fault conditions, allows use in certified installations, and reduces the need for additional third-party verification in audits and inspections.
The product notes indicate optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Auxiliary Contact Provisions, Kirk Provisions, and Auxiliary Provisions are available.
