FAQs
Installation involves mounting the three-pole switch with top-feed wiring to the line and load terminals, then configuring the 2NO-2NC contacts for the required control logic. Verify system voltage (480V) and control voltage (120V), ensure enclosure compatibility (UL-listed unit with standard NEMA ratings), and connect the ground fault option if required. Follow Eaton's datasheet guidance and manufacturer installation notes to minimize commissioning time and ensure safe, code-compliant operation.
Key specs include 2000A amperage rating, 120V control voltage, 480V system voltage, and 2NO-2NC contact configuration in a three-pole arrangement. Fusible protection and top-feed design support fast, reliable trips and protective coordination across phases. The UL Listed rating confirms safety compliance, enabling predictable performance in demanding industrial environments such as switchgear housings and motor control centers.
Yes. The CB2033T120480GAR7 is designed for three-phase power distribution with three-pole operation and a fusible protection scheme. Its 2000A rating and 480V system compatibility suit heavy manufacturing, processing plants, and data centers. Optional features like ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts allow customization to meet site-specific protection schemes and panel-building standards.
The unit is UL Listed, indicating conformity with recognized safety standards for electrical equipment. This certification supports regulatory audits, simplifies procurement for compliant panels, and helps ensure safe commissioning in industrial facilities. The product also lists compatible NEMA ratings, aiding enclosure selection and field validation during installation and maintenance.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to a robust modular design and clear wiring schemas; optional components such as ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts can be added to extend protection without complete panel redesigns. Long-term value comes from improved protection coordination, reduced downtime, and easier upgrades in growing facilities, delivering lower lifecycle costs and higher equipment availability.
