Quick Summary

Eaton pringle bolted pressure contact switch protects high-current power distribution in industrial motor control centers. Maintenance teams often struggle with reliable fault sensing and trip coordination; this unit features ground fault options and a charge-before-close mechanism. UL Listed certification accompanies broad NEMA protection (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12), plus robust top-feed, three-pole performance. This combination delivers reliable, scalable protection for switchgear and MCCs, with notes on 2000A capacity, 480V system, and 120V control voltage to minimize integration risk. Projected total cost of ownership improves through optional ground fault relay, blown fuse detection, and single-phase protection. This helps engineers meet safety and uptime goals in demanding environments.

Special features
BFD with three normally off lights (does not trip)
The 2000A amperage rating delivers heavy feeder protection in a single device, reducing the need for multiple components and simplifying protection coordination. This translates to faster commissioning and lower total installed cost for large switchgear assemblies used in MCCs and power distribution panels. Top feed and fusible configuration streamline installation and enhance fault-clearing reliability in enclosed environments. In practice, top-fed designs minimize wiring complexity and improve serviceability during maintenance or upgrades. Ground fault options and auxiliary provisions offer targeted safety enhancements, with optional Ground Fault Relay and Blown Fuse Detection reducing nuisance trips and downtime. This is especially valuable in critical systems where single-phase protection and kirk provisions are beneficial for code compliance and future expansion. NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility supports indoor and outdoor installations in harsh environments, while 120V control with 480V system voltage enables straightforward integration with existing control schemes. Engineers gain predictable performance across voltages without sacrificing protection. BFD with three normally-off lights provides visible status indicators for commissioning and fault diagnostics without unintended trips, improving operator awareness. The unit's robust, bolted-contact mechanism contributes to long service life and lower maintenance costs in demanding facilities. UL Listed certification and Eaton's warranty policy add confidence for procurement teams, with a one-year warranty from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first.
