Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2033B120480GAR
Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
The CB2033B120480GAR is designed for 480 V systems with a 2000 A amperage rating and 120 V control voltage, delivering high-capacity protection while maintaining a compact footprint in industrial panels. This feature translates to tangible business impact: fewer devices needed to protect large feeders and improved fault isolation, which shortens downtime and lowers total installed cost. In practice, this switch supports bottom feed configuration and three-pole, three-wire operation, making it ideal for three-phase power distribution in rugged environments. The fusible protection and ground-fault options enhance safety and reliability, reducing the risk of costly outages and equipment damage in demanding settings. Installation and compatibility are streamlined by Eaton’s documented specifications and accessory provisions, including auxiliary contact and Kirk provisions for future expansion. Real-world applications include motor feeders and switchgear assemblies in manufacturing plants and processing facilities, where robust protection and serviceability drive operational efficiency.

FAQs
CB2033B120480GAR is designed for rugged industrial environments and supports NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 enclosures. Its bottom-feed, three-pole configuration simplifies cabinet integration, while the fusible protection option accommodates standard switchgear installations. When selecting an enclosure, verify clearance for 16 in depth, 24 in width, and 32 in height to ensure proper wiring and service access.
The device provides a 2000 A amperage rating with a 480 V system voltage and a 120 V control circuit. This combination supports heavy feeder protection in three-phase power distribution, enabling reliable operation of large motors and equipment. The voltage ratings align with common industrial distribution standards, reducing the need for multiple protection devices in a single panel.
Yes. The catalog notes indicate optional ground fault relay and related protections, including ground fault with a control power transformer. This feature enhances safety by detecting leakage and abnormal ground currents, enabling faster trip responses and minimizing equipment damage in earth-grounded installations.
CB2033B120480GAR carries UL Listed certification, validating compliance with recognized safety standards. Warranty terms follow Eaton policy SP25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This provides assurance on performance and serviceability for mission-critical power distribution applications.
Ideal for heavy-duty motor feeders and switchgear in manufacturing, processing, and material handling facilities, CB2033B120480GAR excels where large current protection at 480 V is required. Its three-pole design, bottom-feed configuration, and fusible protection enable reliable control of high-demand circuits while meeting industry standards for safety and maintenance.
