1600A amperage rating paired with a 480V system voltage enables direct protection for large motors and feeders, reducing the need for multiple upstream devices and enabling more compact, cost-efficient panel designs. This translates to lower installation costs and improved fault isolation, especially in high-demand production lines where uptime matters. Top-feed, fusible configuration with no ground fault reduces nuisance trips and arc-flash exposure, improving overall safety and reliability in demanding environments like automotive, chemical, and metals processing. The 2 NO-2 NC contact configuration offers flexible control circuits for interlocks, alarms, and remote signaling, supporting scalable automation strategies while keeping wiring simple and testable. The charge-before-close mechanism enhances sequence control, minimizing false trips and extending equipment life, which drives measurable reductions in maintenance and replacement costs. NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 compatibility ensures operation in a wide range of enclosures and environments, from clean rooms to outdoors when protected. Optional features such as Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, and Auxiliary Contact Provisions can be added without replacing the switch, enabling tailored protection schemes as plant requirements evolve. Physical dimensions and weight—16 in length, 28 in height, 24 in width, and 180 lb—facilitate accurate space planning and mounting in established electrical rooms or switchgear bays.

FAQs

The CB1633T1204807 is designed for three-pole, top-feed switchgear with a fusible configuration. It supports 2NO-2NC control circuits and a charge-before-close mechanism, enabling straightforward interlocks and safe commissioning. Ensure enclosure ratings meet NEMA 1, 3R, 4, or 12, and verify clearances for the 16 x 28 x 24 inch footprint and 180 lb weight during mounting and service access.
Key specs include amperage rating of 1600A, system voltage of 480V, and control voltage of 120V. The switch is fusible and rated for NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosures. It uses a 2 NO-2 NC contact configuration with a top-feed arrangement. Confirm compatibility with your motor feeders and check that your panel supports a top-feed, three-pole protection strategy.
Yes. The unit is UL Listed and supports NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosure types, making it suitable for both indoor and rugged environments. When selecting, ensure the enclosure environment aligns with these ratings and consider optional features like Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary provisions to meet additional monitoring and interlocking requirements.
The model’s high-current protection reduces the need for multiple protective devices, lowering install complexity and ongoing maintenance. Optional features like Blown Fuse Detection and Ground Fault Relay help detect faults early, reducing downtime and extending asset life. The charge-before-close mechanism minimizes arc events, contributing to lower maintenance costs and improved safety for operators.
