Eaton CB2533T120208ARCT Electrical Switch - UL Listed
Part Number: CB2533T120208ARCT
Quick Summary
CB2533T120208ARCT bolted pressure contact switch protects high-current switchgear. Many engineers struggle with nuisance trips and inconsistent protection in rugged environments, and downtime hits productivity and margins. UL Listed certification and broad NEMA ratings—NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12—provide confidence in enclosure compatibility and safety across indoor and outdoor installations. This unit runs on 208 V three-phase systems with a 120 V control voltage, helping align with common plant power architectures. Its fusible protection and top-feed configuration simplify wiring, reduce installation time, and support future upgrades, while optional features such as ground fault relay and blown-fuse detection extend protection without adding complexity. For procurement teams, the combination of high amperage, reliable trip behavior, and Eaton’s warranty translates to lower lifecycle costs and fewer field service events.

Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2533T120208ARCT
High-current three-pole design supports 2500A loads with a top-feed fuse configuration, ensuring fast, accurate protection without requiring multiple devices. This translates to reduced fault damage, less downtime, and simplified wiring for installers. The charge-before-close mechanism coupled with three normally-off lights enhances operator safety and prevents nuisance trips, supporting reliable sequencing in critical processes. UL Listed status and broad NEMA ratings provide immediate compliance and enclosure compatibility for both indoor and outdoor installations, reducing engineering time and accelerating approvals on new builds. Optional Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, and auxiliary provisions offer scalable protection without rearranging existing circuitry, lowering total cost of ownership over the product life. The top-feed configuration and 208 V system compatibility enable straightforward integration into common industrial power architectures, while the 120 V control voltage simplifies control wiring and transformer sizing for panel builders. The robust construction, weight, and footprint are designed for tall switchgear cabinets and retrofit projects, minimizing field modifications and installation risk. Overall, this device delivers dependable protection, easier maintenance, and a lower lifecycle cost profile for demanding facilities.
