Eaton Specification Sheet - CB1233T120480PAXC
The 1200 A amperage rating provides direct protection for high-load feeders, reducing the need for multiple devices and enabling simpler panel designs. In practice, this translates to faster commissioning and lower capital expenditure for main power distribution. The 120 V control voltage paired with a 480 V system voltage ensures seamless integration with common control circuits and power networks, minimizing wiring errors and improving reliability in industrial environments. The three-pole, top-feed, fusible configuration simplifies wiring topology and fault isolation, supporting safer maintenance and quicker fault clearance in demanding applications like motor control centers. Optional features such as Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Kirk Provisions, and Auxiliary Contacts provide flexible protection schemes, enhancing safety, reducing unplanned downtime, and improving regulatory compliance. The inclusion of a capacitor trip device (Taylor) helps prevent nuisance releases and premature tripping, supporting tighter process control and longer equipment life. Overall, the CB1233T120480PAXC aligns with industry practices for rugged, dependable protection in harsh environments, delivering measurable lifecycle savings while remaining compatible with standard Eaton accessory suites and field-wiring practices.
