FAQs
For top-feed installations, ensure enclosure compatibility with the unit's three-pole footprint and fusible protection. Verify control voltage compatibility at 120 V and system voltage capability up to 480 V. Use appropriate control power transformers if required and confirm availability of optional features such as ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts to match your PLC or protection relay scheme.
The switch is rated for 2500A with a 480 V system voltage and a 120 V control voltage. It features 1NO-1NC contacts and a three-pole configuration, supporting fusible protection. These specs enable designers to plan for high-current distribution, coordinate with protective relays, and ensure adequate clearance and wiring sizing in switchgear assemblies.
Yes, when installed in appropriate NEMA-rated enclosures (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) that match the environmental conditions, the switch can be used in industrial facilities exposing equipment to dust, moisture, or moderate weather. For outdoor exposure beyond enclosure protection, consult Eaton for configuration options or additional protective accessories.
The product carries UL Listed certification, which supports safety compliance in many regions and helps satisfy installation standards for industrial power distribution. Its compatibility with NEMA-rated enclosures further supports compliance by ensuring appropriate protection in a range of harsh environments and installation scenarios.
Plan routine inspections of the fusible path, contact condition, and wiring integrity. Verify the presence and function of optional features like ground fault relay and auxiliary contacts. Consider schedule-based testing of the control circuit (120 V side) and ensure spare fuses or protective accessories are readily available to minimize downtime during maintenance windows.
