Special features
BFD with no lights (trips switch)
High-current capability of 3000A provides a single point of protection for large feeders, reducing sizing complexity and enabling fewer devices in parallel. This translates to faster fault isolation and lower heat in switchgear during peak demand, improving overall system reliability and reducing maintenance costs. Application: main feeders in motor control centers and distribution panels, where reliability and uptime are mission-critical. Top feed fuse configuration simplifies wiring and enhances fault sensitivity when paired with ground fault options. The Ground fault with control power transformer integration reduces nuisance trips and improves personnel safety, ensuring safer commissioning and operating environments. Application: new installations or upgrades in heavily loaded facilities requiring precise fault detection. Electrical trip with charge-before-close provides safe sequencing and arc suppression, minimizing contact wear and extending component life under frequent switching. This reduces replacement cycles and improves lifecycle costs in demanding applications such as heavy machinery feeds and manufacturing lines. NEMA ratings of I, 3R, 4, 12 offer rugged enclosure compatibility in damp or dusty environments and support outdoor or harsh indoor locations while maintaining protection performance. This complements the UL Listed certification for robust regulatory compliance and traceable performance in regulated markets. Optional features including Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Auxiliary Contacts, and Kirk Provisions enhance monitoring, diagnostics, and control flexibility. These capabilities translate to proactive maintenance, faster fault diagnostics, and a measurable reduction in unplanned downtime.

FAQs

When installing CB3033T120208GAX, ensure a proper top-feed connection and three-pole, three-wire configuration to align with the device’s three-pole design. Verify enclosure compatibility with the NEMA ratings (1, 3R, 4, 12) and plan for optional ground fault relay or auxiliary contact provisions if remote monitoring or control is required. Follow UL Listed guidelines for safe mounting and wiring.
The switch is rated for up to 3000A with a system voltage of 208V and a control voltage of 120V. It supports fusible protection and is compatible with NEMA enclosures rated for industrial environments. Ensure coordination with upstream protection devices and verify that the wiring, connector sizes, and bus configurations meet the 3000A rating.
Industries with high-current motor control centers, large feeders, and demanding switchgear environments benefit from the CB3033T120208GAX. Applications include heavy manufacturing, process plants, and energy-intensive facilities where reliable tripping, fault protection, and enclosure compatibility (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) are critical for uptime and safety.
The CB3033T120208GAX carries UL Listed certification, confirming compliance with safety standards for industrial protection devices. It also supports NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility (1, 3R, 4, 12), aiding regulatory alignment and safe operation in various environments. Optional features like Ground Fault Relay may further align with site-specific protection requirements.
The switch’s high current rating, robust enclosure compatibility, and optional fault-detection features reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance frequency. Fast, reliable tripping minimizes arc exposure and wear, extending component life. The total cost of ownership improves through fewer replacements, easier diagnostics, and better system reliability over the asset lifecycle.
