Quick Summary

CB1633B120208GRA bolted pressure switch provides high-current protection for industrial switchgear. Engineers often struggle with coordinating ground fault protection, capacitor-based trips, and reliable operation in large power systems. This UL Listed unit supports rugged environments with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosure compatibility, simplifying compliance and installation. Designed for 208 V systems with a 1600 A rating and 120 V control voltage, it also offers optional ground fault relay and auxiliary provisions to fit evolving control schemes. By integrating protection, fault detection, and expansion options in one assembly, it reduces panel footprint, lowers lifecycle costs, and accelerates commissioning for large-scale facilities.

Special features
Single-phase voltage relay with capacitor trip device (SPVR), BFD with three normally on lights (does not trip)
Feature — Bolted pressure contact switch with capacitor trip device (SPVR). This configuration provides a controlled, charge-before-close trip sequence that minimizes nuisance trips and improves motor protection, translating to lower downtime and longer equipment life. Application in large motor feeders and critical switchgear ensures reliable protection where every second of uptime counts. The business impact is clear: safer start-ups, fewer unplanned outages, and improved maintenance planning. Feature — Three-pole, fusible, bottom-feed design. This arrangement supports robust protection for high-current systems while simplifying wiring layouts and maintenance access inside compact switchgear. The application emphasis is on large distribution panels and retrofit projects where space and serviceability matter. Benefit: streamlined installation, reduced wiring complexity, and dependable operation under heavy load conditions. Feature — Ground fault protection options with control power transformer. Optional ground fault relay and auxiliary provisions enable enhanced fault detection and coordination with upstream protection schemes. Business impact includes improved personnel safety and faster fault localization, essential in data centers and critical manufacturing lines. Feature — NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility and UL Listing. With ratings for NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12, the unit suits indoor and outdoor environments while meeting strict electrical safety standards. This reduces the need for additional enclosures and accelerates project timelines. Application benefits include regulatory compliance and long-term reliability in harsh environments. Feature — Optional accessories and provisions (Kirk provisions, auxiliary contacts, blown fuse detection). These options support seamless integration into existing control architectures, enabling easier control-system interfacing and future-proofing. The real-world value is faster commissioning, scalable protection, and lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
