Eaton Specification Sheet - CB2534B120480C
High current capability is a core feature, delivering 2500A with a 120 V control voltage. This combination reduces the need for multiple devices in high-load feeders, cutting panel depth and wiring complexity while improving overall safety margins. In practice, engineers deploy CB2534B120480C in switchgear and motor control centers where reliable, single-point control of large motors and feeders is essential. Three-pole, three-wire configuration with bottom fuse feed streamlines installation. The bottom-feed design minimizes wiring length and arc exposure during service, while fusible protection adds an immediate, coordinated isolation mechanism for fault conditions. This supports safer commissioning and easier maintenance planning in harsh industrial environments. Included AFGF relay and matched CTs provide ready-to-wire protection and metering coordination. This packaging reduces procurement complexity and accelerates panel assembly, and the CTs enable accurate sensing for protective relays and control logic. Note that a neutral-neutral CT is not included, so plan accordingly. Main voltage rating of 480 V with 120 V control enables integration into typical industrial power distribution schemes. The UL Listed certification reinforces compliance with safety standards for critical panels, while the rugged enclosure and bolted connections resist vibration and contamination in manufacturing floors. From a maintenance perspective, the unit's modular construction supports straightforward replacement and upgrade paths. Its documented dimensions—17 in depth, 28 in height, 28 in width—and 215 lb weight provide clear space planning and mounting decisions for retrofit projects in existing facilities. Industry context: in modern facilities, consolidating protection devices into a robust bolted switch reduces spare parts, lowers lifecycle costs, and improves diagnostic visibility when paired with CTs and relays. This product aligns with engineers' goals of safety, reliability, and efficiency in high-current applications.

FAQs
For installation, plan around the bottom-feed fuse configuration and three-wire, three-pole layout. Ensure space for the 17 inch depth, 28 inch height, and 28 inch width. Include the AFGF relay and matched CTs provided, and account for CTs that are not included for neutral-neutral circuits. This approach minimizes wiring runs and supports safe, accessible fault isolation during commissioning.
Key specs include an amperage rating of 2500A, control voltage of 120 V, voltage rating of 480 V, three-pole operation, three-wire configuration, and fusible protection. The device uses bottom feed for fuse configuration and ships with an AFGF relay and matched CTs to coordinate protection and monitoring in high-current panels.
Yes. The 2500A rating, 480 V main voltage, and three-pole three-wire arrangement make it well-suited for MCCs and other heavy-duty switchgear applications. The integrated control transformer and relay plus CTs simplify installation and improve protection coordination in motor-driven systems, delivering reliable fault isolation and control in demanding environments.
The CB2534B120480C is UL Listed, providing recognized safety compliance for electrical assemblies in industrial environments. While other certifications such as SIL, CE, or IP ratings are valuable, they are not specified for this product in the provided data; UL Listed status ensures adherence to established safety standards for control devices.
The unit’s modular design and inclusion of a relay and CTs reduce wiring complexity and spare parts, accelerating installation and service. Its robust bolted construction supports long service life in harsh environments, which translates to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime—key factors in improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) for high‑current applications.
