Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2533B120480KG
The CB2533B120480KG provides a high current solution with a 2500 A amperage rating at a 480 V system and a 120 V control circuit, enabling efficient protection for large motor feeders and distribution panels in harsh industrial environments. By consolidating switching and protection into a single three-pole device, it reduces panel complexity, speeds fault isolation, lowers wiring errors during installation, and simplifies future upgrades. This bottom-feed, three-wire configuration is particularly well-suited for facilities that demand fast, reliable tripping, predictable coordination with upstream protective devices, and minimal downtime during routine maintenance. Interlock functionality and fusible protection add critical safety margins during startup and servicing, helping prevent accidental re-energization and streamlining lockout-tagout procedures across multiple bays. The ground fault integration with a control power transformer simplifies fault detection, improves coordination across feeders, and supports quick fault location without extensive disassembly. Designers benefit from fewer components to source, reduced failure points, and a more compact protection footprint that fits standard switchgear envelopes while maintaining compliance. UL Listed certification underpins compliance with essential electrical safety standards, while the unit’s NEMA ratings—1, 3R, 4, and 12—define enclosure protection suitable for dusty, damp, and harsh industrial environments. These certifications translate into robust reliability in manufacturing, mining, and process facilities where uptime is mission-critical, and the documentation supports regulatory audits and quality programs. Catalog notes indicate optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Kirk Provisions, Auxiliary Contact Provisions, and other configurations are available, enabling tailored protection schemes without adding separate modules. This flexibility reduces installation time, accelerates commissioning, and improves spare parts planning by standardizing on a single, versatile protection platform across multiple lines. The result is a safer, more compliant panel that aligns with global electrical codes while delivering consistent performance across a diversified plant footprint. Overall, the CB2533B120480KG delivers reliable, code-compliant protection with straightforward installation in bottom-feed, three-pole configurations that minimize field adjustments after commissioning. Operators gain safer start-up, easier maintenance, and predictable life-cycle costs, improving asset availability, uptime, and total cost of ownership in critical electrical infrastructure. For engineers designing switchgear and motor control centers, this Eaton solution offers a proven balance of performance, safety, and installability that supports fast project execution and long-term reliability.

FAQs
To install, verify panel space and enclosure suitability, connect the three input phases to the switch’s three-pole terminals, bond the enclosure ground, and ensure the control transformer provides 120 V control power rather than drawing from line voltage. Refer to catalog notes for optional Ground Fault Relay and Auxiliary Contact provisions, and confirm compatibility with bottom-feed configurations and Kirk provisions for a seamless integration into existing switchgear.
A 2500 A amperage rating indicates the device can safely interrupt and carry high fault currents typical of large motors and feeders. This rating supports robust protection during startup transients and fault events, reducing fuse changes and downtime. When designing, ensure the upstream protective devices and wiring are sized to match the switch’s interruption capability for coordinated protection.
Yes. The unit’s 480 V system voltage, 2500 A capacity, and fusible protection are well-suited for heavy-use environments found in mining and processing facilities. UL Listed certification and NEMA ratings of 1, 3R, 4, and 12 provide enclosure protection against dust, moisture, and harsh conditions, supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial settings.
This switch is UL Listed, confirming compliance with essential electrical safety standards. It also offers compatible NEMA enclosure ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12), enabling use in a range of environments from clean rooms to outdoor or damp locations. These certifications simplify audits and supplier qualification for regulated industries.
The integrated interlock, fusible protection, and optional ground fault/blown fuse options reduce field components, lowering maintenance complexity. A single, versatile protection platform simplifies spare parts planning, accelerates commissioning, and provides predictable life-cycle costs due to fewer assemblies to service and rebuild over time.
