Eaton CB2033T120480RAX Pressure Contact Switch - UL Listed
Part Number: CB2033T120480RAX
Quick Summary
The Eaton CB2033T120480RAX pressure contact switch delivers high-capacity fault protection for industrial switchgear and motor control centers. Engineers often struggle with reliable tripping under fault conditions and the risk of nuisance trips, which this device addresses with a capacitor trip (SPVR) and BFD without indicator lights. UL Listed ensures compliance, while its three-pole 480V system rating and NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12 construction support demanding environments. With top-feed configuration and fusible protection, it integrates into existing distributions while offering optional ground-fault relay, auxiliary contacts, and Kirk provisions for scalable protection. This combination translates to improved reliability, reduced downtime, and clearer maintenance planning for power distribution, motor control, and process automation.

Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Feature → Business Impact → Application: High amperage rating of 2000A enables single-device protection for large feeders, reducing the need for multiple smaller switches and simplifying cabinet layouts. This translates to lower installed cost and streamlined maintenance schedules in heavy industrial settings like metal fabrication and automation plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: SPVR capacitor trip device provides precise, rapid fault clearance with controlled close sequences, minimizing mechanical wear and reducing arcing risks. Ideal for critical motor drives and high-inertia loads in packaging lines or printing presses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Top-feed, three-pole, three-wire configuration delivers straightforward wiring even in crowded switchgear bays, improving installation speed and reducing miswiring incidents during panel upgrades. Application: metal shops, processing plants, and large utility feeders. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fusible protection combined with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12 ratings delivers robust enclosure protection for indoor and outdoor installations, enhancing safety and regulatory compliance in harsh environments. Application: outdoor substations and corrosive or humid facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Optional Ground Fault Relay, Auxiliary Contacts, and Kirk Provisions provide extension options for monitoring and integration with building management systems, enabling scalable protection schemes without replacing the core device. Application: large MCCs and energy-management projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification supports compliance workflows and supplier qualification, reducing procurement risk and audits in regulated industries. Application: data centers, chemical plants, and food and beverage facilities. Finally, this switch supports Blown Fuse Detection options and other catalog notes, enabling proactive maintenance and faster root-cause analysis in preventive maintenance programs.

FAQs
CB2033T120480RAX is a three-pole, top-feed device rated for 480V systems and 2000A operation, designed to drop into standard low-voltage distribution panels. Its 16 inch depth, 24 inch width and 28 inch height define a compact footprint for large MCCs, while UL Listed certification confirms compatibility with common electrical codes and safety standards in industrial environments.
Core protections include fusible overload protection, SPVR capacitor trip device, and no ground fault indication by default. Optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Auxiliary Contact Provisions, and Kirk Provisions extend monitoring and control capabilities. These options help tailor the protection scheme to specific process requirements and reduce unscheduled downtime.
Key ratings include amperage 2000A, control voltage 120V, system voltage 480V, and a 3-pole, 3-wire configuration. It carries NEMA ratings for environments from indoor to rugged outdoor installations (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) and uses fusible protection to align with standard coordination practices in switchgear assemblies.
The product is backed by Eaton’s warranty policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular inspection of SPVR relays, fuse integrity, and contact wear is advised. Optional features like Blown Fuse Detection can aid in proactive maintenance and faster fault diagnosis.
