Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CB1633B120480A95 employs a pringle bolted pressure contact switch design that delivers robust mechanical integrity and rapid electrical trip, reducing outage duration and wear on circuit interrupters when protecting large three-pole circuits in 480 V systems. This translates to improved uptime for critical manufacturing lines and safer, more predictable protection coordination in switchgear assemblies. Application: suitable for heavy-duty power distribution where 1600 A capacity and a bottom feed configuration are required, such as mining, metals processing, and large OEM installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit offers 1 NO-1 NC contact configuration with fusible protection, enabling precise control and selective tripping to minimize disruption during maintenance or fuse events. Application: ideal for industries prioritizing fault isolation and minimized arc-flash exposure in high-current environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Control voltage rated at 120 V supports compatible control circuits and reduces wiring complexity, while the 480 V system rating ensures seamless integration with common industrial power rails. Application: fits standard plant electrical rooms and panel boards requiring reliable three-pole operation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Optional ground fault relay, blown fuse detection, single-phase protection, Kirk provisions, and auxiliary contact provisions provide flexible protection schemes, improving uptime and diagnostic capability. Application: beneficial for facilities pursuing enhanced safety compliance and easier maintenance diagnostics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Bottom feed and bottom fuse configuration simplify installation in existing panels and retrofit projects, reducing labor and field modifications. Application: supports retrofit of aging switchgear where cable routing and footprint constraints are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification and NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) give documented safety and environmental resistance, easing regulatory approvals and procurement vetting. Application: suitable for harsh industrial environments, outdoors in protected enclosures, and inside rugged electrical rooms.

FAQs

This model supports bottom feed and bottom fuse configuration, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike. Ensure panel clearance and cable routing align with the three-pole 1600 A rating, and verify control circuit compatibility at 120 V for reliable trip coordination.
The switch provides 1600 A amperage, 480 V system voltage, and 120 V control voltage with a 1 NO-1 NC contact set. It offers fusible protection, optional ground fault relay, blown fuse detection, and single-phase protection to enhance fault isolation and system safety.
UL Listed with NEMA ratings 1, 3R, 4, and 12, this switch is designed for varied industrial environments. Pair it with compatible enclosures that meet the same NEMA ratings to maintain protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical impact in plants and outdoor locations.
Optional features include Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Kirk Provisions, and Auxiliary Contact Provisions. These options improve fault detection, selective tripping, and diagnostic capabilities, reducing unplanned downtime.
Warranty follows Eaton policy 25-000: one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For ROI, prioritize periodic inspections of contacts, fuse status, and control circuits; maintain clean, dry enclosures; and verify UL-listed integrity to minimize unscheduled downtime.
