Eaton Specification Sheet - CB3033T120480G6
Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CB3033T120480G6 is a three-pole bolted pressure contact switch rated for 3000A at 480V, delivering robust high-current protection with a proven charge-before-close mechanism. This translates to reduced arc-flash risk and shorter interruption times in motor start-ups and fault events, improving plant uptime in heavy-industrial environments and enabling safer, more predictable power distribution. In practice, the device integrates with top-feed configurations and fusible protection schemes, streamlining wiring and fault discrimination in switchgear assemblies used in refineries, metals processing, and large manufacturing lines. The UL Listed certification reinforces regulatory compliance while simplifying procurement audits and supplier qualification.Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ground fault with control power transformer support and optional auxiliary features allow early fault detection and coordinated protection across feeder circuits. This reduces nuisance trips and extends equipment life by ensuring only genuine faults trigger shutdowns, which is critical for critical loads in continuous-process environments such as chemical plants or food and beverage processing facilities. The three-pole design and 3-wire configuration offer straightforward integration with existing control schemes and extensive warranty coverage, helping maintenance teams achieve predictable service windows and lower operating costs over the equipment lifecycle. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA-rated enclosure compatibility (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) ensures dependable performance in harsh environments, supporting compliant installations in harsh production floors, outdoor-rated electrical rooms, and damp facilities without compromising safety or accessibility. These characteristics collectively enable faster commissioning, simplified spare-part strategies, and improved total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution systems.
