Eaton CB2533B120208GAX Pressure contact switch - UL Listed

High-current protection is the core capability of the CB2533B120208GAX. With a 2500A rating and 208V system voltage, it protects large motors and feeders directly within switchgear and MCCs. The result is a smaller, cleaner panel layout, fewer field-termination errors, and lower installation costs over the life of the equipment, translating into measurable uptime gains in continuous-process facilities. Bottom-feed three-pole construction and fusible protection streamline installation and coordination. The bottom feed reduces wiring complexity in tight spaces, while fusible protection supports selective coordination with upstream devices. This setup is especially beneficial in retrofits and new builds where space, safety, and protection hierarchy are critical for reliable plant operation. Charge-before-close trip mechanism enhances safety and reliability during switching events. It minimizes contact wear and arcing by ensuring the switch is fully charged before closing, reducing surge stress on feeders and motors. This behavior is advantageous for high-inertia loads and OEM equipment where dependable start/stop sequences impact production efficiency. Ground fault protection options and auxiliary provisions extend diagnostics and maintenance visibility. Optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, and Auxiliary Contacts enable proactive monitoring, faster fault isolation, and easier interlock schemes in critical applications such as data centers, food processing, and continuous process lines. Rugged, UL Listed construction with broad NEMA enclosure compatibility supports durable operation in challenging environments. The unit’s dimensions and weight inform cabinet design, while optional features and Kirk provisions enable scalable protection with future upgrades. Together, these factors help facilities meet compliance targets, reduce downtime, and improve overall lifecycle cost of ownership for industrial automation.
