Eaton Specification Sheet - CB1633T120208RARCT
Single-phase relay with capacitor trip device (SPVR) provides precise timing for fault clearance, reducing nuisance trips and limiting arc energy. This translates to higher equipment availability and safer operation in 120 V control circuits feeding larger feeders within switchgear. The BFD with three lights offers immediate trip indication, accelerating diagnostics and minimizing mean time to repair in demanding plant environments. Top feed fuse configuration simplifies wiring and heat management, enabling faster installations and cleaner panel layouts for large switchgear assemblies. NEMA-rated enclosures (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) and UL Listed certification deliver robust compliance for harsh industrial environments, supporting regulated installations. Optional Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary contact provisions enable flexible protection schemes and easy integration with plant-wide safety and automation systems. Compatibility with Eaton catalog notes and specification sheets enhances procurement efficiency and field support for maintenance teams.

FAQs
When installing the CB1633T120208RARCT in new switchgear, ensure a three-pole, three-wire configuration with top-feed and fusible protection. Confirm control voltage compatibility at 120 V and system voltage at 208 V. Plan for space to accommodate the 16 in x 24 in x 28 in footprint (length x width x height) and provide clear access for inspection. Consider the optional Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary contacts to match your protection scheme, and reference the Eaton specification sheet for installation guidance and torque values.
Key performance specs include a 1600 A amperage rating, 208 V system voltage, 120 V control voltage, and three-pole, three-wire configuration. The device uses a single-phase SPVR with capacitor trip for precise fault clearing and includes a BFD with three normally off lights to indicate trips. It is fusible, UL Listed, and suitable for NEMA environments 1, 3R, 4, and 12, aligning with industrial protection requirements.
Yes. The CB1633T120208RARCT is designed for high-current, three-pole protection in large switchgear such as motor control centers and distribution panels. Its SPVR and capacitor trip device provide reliable single-phase protection, while the top-feed and fusible configuration simplify integration with large feeders. Optional protections, like Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary contacts, help tailor the unit to MCC or large panel applications with enhanced diagnostics and control.
The CB1633T120208RARCT is UL Listed, ensuring compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical protection devices. It also supports a range of rugged enclosures compatible with NEMA ratings 1, 3R, 4, and 12, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Optional features and catalog notes further expand its compliance with specific protection schemes within Eaton’s switching devices catalog.
Maintenance benefits come from clear trip indication via the BFD lights, built-in diagnostics, and a robust top-feed, fusible design that simplifies field wiring. The SPVR and capacitor trip device improve fault clearance reliability, reducing unplanned downtime and prolonging motor and feeder life. Optional ground-fault and auxiliary contacts enable scalable protection schemes, potentially lowering total cost of ownership through easier integration and reduced maintenance overhead.
