Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2033T120480AXCT
Three-pole design with a 2000A amperage rating provides robust protection for large feeders, reducing the risk of equipment damage during faults. In practice, that translates to shorter fault-clearing times and less wear on motor circuits in high-demand environments. The electrical trip with charge-before-close mechanism minimizes inrush and facilitates safe, controlled reselection after a fault, improving overall system reliability in bottling lines and continuous-process plants. Top feed fuse configuration simplifies wiring in panelboards, enabling faster installation and easier field service while reducing commissioning time for new lines. Optional ground fault relay, blown fuse detection, single-phase protection, auxiliary contacts, and Kirk provisions enable tailored protection schemes, improving safety compliance and monitoring across critical processes. With a 16 in depth, 24 in width, and 28 in height enclosure weighing 180 lb, this unit integrates into compact, high-capacity switchgear and supports rugged industrial environments. The included warranty (one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment) aligns with Eaton’s service policy, providing confidence for long-term operation.

FAQs
The CB2033T120480AXCT is designed for top-feed, three-pole installations and is compatible with NEMA-rated enclosures for harsh environments (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12). It supports 2000A service with a 120V control circuit and 480V system voltage, making it suitable for large motor feeders in industrial facilities and processing lines.
The electrical trip with charge-before-close mechanism ensures controlled reselection after a fault, reducing inrush and mechanical stress on feeders. This improves reliability for motors starting under load, minimizes nuisance trips, and extends component life in heavy-duty applications such as conveyors, mixers, and large fans.
Yes. The catalog notes indicate optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, and Single Phase Protection. Auxiliary Contact Provisions and Kirk Provisions are also available to tailor protection schemes. These options help meet safety standards, enable monitoring, and improve fault diagnosis in critical processes.
The product carries Eaton’s policy: one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from the date of shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty is designed to cover manufacturing defects and provide support for field installs, with documentation to assist maintenance planning and ROI calculations.
By delivering rapid, reliable fault isolation and reducing nuisance trips, the CB2033T120480AXCT lowers unplanned downtime and maintenance costs in high-duty environments. Its compatibility with top-feed configurations and optional protection accessories lets maintenance teams optimize preventive strategies, simplify spare parts inventories, and extend motor life, delivering measurable downstream savings in production uptime and safety compliance.
