Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2033T120480G
High amperage rating and integrated control voltage drive measurable business impact. With a 2000A amperage rating and a 120 V control circuit, operators can deploy centralized protection without additional relays, reducing panel space and wiring complexity while improving faultclearance speed in critical lines such as stamping presses, conveyors, and large motors. This translates to lower energy waste, reduced downtime, and easier maintenance planning within existing 480 V feeders. The application is especially strong in manufacturing and processing facilities where heavy loads demand robust protection and straightforward control logic. Top-feed, three-pole design delivers predictable fault isolation and simplified installation. The top-feed configuration minimizes wiring runs and shortens assembly times in new builds or retrofits, improving project timeline certainty and field service efficiency. This is particularly advantageous for switchgear cabinets with space constraints or where quick replacement is required in critical lines like packaging and bottling lines. Ground fault protection with control power transformer enhances safety and reduces arc-flash risk. Optional ground fault relay capability, plus the ability to detect blown fuses, provides early fault signaling and safer shutdown sequences, supporting compliance with site safety programs and insurance requirements. This feature set is well suited for food and beverage, water treatment, and chemical processing environments where ground fault detection is critical. NEMA-rated rugged enclosure supports diverse environments. UL Listed with ratings including NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12, the switch is engineered for indoor reliability and moderate outdoor exposure, washdown-ready scenarios, and dusty or humid plants. This robustness reduces weather-related failures and service calls, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the lifecycle in electrical rooms and outdoor switchgear footprints. Optional features offer tailored protection for mission-critical facilities. Blown fuse detection, single-phase protection, and Kirk provisions or auxiliary contact provisions provide a scalable path to compliance and extended functionality as site demands evolve, minimizing future upgrade costs and integration hurdles in facilities like data centers or automotive assembly lines. Warranty and install-Ready support enhance confidence. With Eaton’s warranty policy (one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first) and available documentation, engineers can plan preventive maintenance and spares more effectively, accelerating ROI and uptime across the plant floor.

FAQs
CB2033T120480G uses a top-feed, three-pole design and occupies a footprint compatible with 16 in depth, 28 in height, and 24 in width as per its general specifications. It supports 480 V feeders, 2000 A loads, and a 120 V control circuit, making it suitable for many 480 V switchgear configurations. Verify cabinet clearances and wiring paths before mounting.
Key ratings include 2000 A amperage, 480 V system voltage, 480 V max, and 120 V control voltage. The device provides fusible protection and offers options for ground fault relay, blown fuse detection, single-phase protection, auxiliary contacts, and Kirk provisions. These figures guide feeder sizing, motor protection, and coordination with upstream breakers.
Ideal for heavy-load environments such as manufacturing lines, stamping presses, conveyors, and large motor feeders where high current switching and reliable fault isolation are required. The NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12 ratings support both indoor and select outdoor installations, while optional ground fault features improve safety and regulatory compliance in process industries.
This switch is UL Listed and carries multiple NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) for varied environments. Optional features include ground-fault relay, blown fuse detection, single-phase protection, auxiliary provisions, and Kirk provisions, enabling advanced safety compliance and fault-detection capabilities in critical facilities.
By consolidating protection functions into a single high-capacity device with an integrated control transformer, maintenance tasks are streamlined and downtime is reduced. The 180 lb weight and top-feed design ease installation in new or retrofit projects, while UL/NEMA compliance minimizes regulatory risk, yielding a favorable return on investment over the equipment lifecycle.
