Eaton Specification Sheet - CB1633T120208G6
High-current capability translates to reduced system complexity and fewer protective devices in parallel. With a 1600A amperage rating, the CB1633T120208G6 handles large motor feeders and other high-load circuits without sacrificing response time. In practice, this means smaller panel footprints, simplified protection schemes, and improved fault protection for critical loads in manufacturing, mining, and heavy equipment applications. Ground fault with a control power transformer enhances operator safety and fault isolation. The integrated ground fault function helps detect leakage paths and trips the circuit before faults propagate, safeguarding personnel and expensive equipment on automated lines. This capability is especially valuable in process facilities where control power reliability is essential for safe interlocks and safe state transitions. Top feed fuse configuration streamlines installation and reduces cabinet depth constraints. By routing primary connections from the top, installers can simplify terminations in crowded electrical rooms, minimize wiring runs, and maintain clean ladder logic and control schematics. The design also supports easier retrofits in existing CBC switchgear without extensive rewiring. 1 NO - 1 NC contact arrangement and a charge-before-close mechanism deliver controlled switching and reduced arcing during make/break sequences. This combination improves safety margins during interruptions of motor loads and aligns with standard industrial practices for reliable motor control. The device also minimizes contact wear, extending service life in continuous duty applications. NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility and UL 977 certification support regulatory compliance and durable operation in harsh environments. Enclosures rated for NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 protect against dust, moisture, and incidental exposure in plants, yards, or outdoor locations. Together with robust construction and a three-pole design, the switch provides dependable performance across shifts and seasons.

FAQs
The CB1633T120208G6 is designed for high-current CBC switchgear, motor feeder protection, and control circuits in industrial environments. It supports 1600A loads, three-pole operation, and top-feed fusible configurations, making it suitable for manufacturing lines, mining equipment, and process plants where reliable fault protection and safe switching are critical.
Key ratings include amperage 1600A, control voltage 120 V, system voltage 208 V, maximum voltage 480 V, and a three-pole, 1NO-1NC contact configuration with top feed and fusible protection. The device also features a ground fault with a control power transformer for enhanced safety and reliability in control circuits.
Yes, the CB1633T120208G6 carries UL 977 certification. It is compatible with NEMA-rated enclosures including NEMA 1, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 12, allowing operation in dusty, damp, and rugged industrial environments.
The integrated ground fault function detects leakage paths and trips the circuit to prevent fault propagation, protecting personnel and equipment. The control power transformer ensures stable control-circuit power, improving interlock reliability and reducing the risk of unintended equipment start-ups after faults.
Top-feed wiring simplifies terminations in crowded panels, reduces cabinet depth constraints, and facilitates retrofits in existing CBC switchgear. This layout helps maintain tidy control schematics, reduces wiring lengths, and speeds up commissioning without compromising protection performance.
