FAQs
This unit uses a top-feed configuration with a three-pole, three-wire setup and fusible protection. Plan for space in a NEMA 1/3R/4/12 rated enclosure, ensure correct control voltage wiring (120V), and verify the grounding scheme with the ground fault option if selected. Mounting should accommodate access for maintenance and replacement of fuses or auxiliary contacts.
Key specs include a 3000A amperage rating, 480V system voltage, 120V control voltage, and three-pole construction. Confirm the device is UL Listed, the top-feed fuse configuration, and whether the optional ground fault relay or auxiliary provisions are installed to meet your protection strategy.
Yes, it supports ground fault protection via an integrated ground fault feature and control transformer integration. When configured with the optional Ground Fault Relay, it enhances fault detection in feeders and motor circuits, helping to meet safety and reliability targets for sensitive industrial loads.
The device is UL Listed and compatible with NEMA 1, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4, and NEMA 12 enclosures. This combination supports durable operation in diverse environments, from clean rooms to damp or outdoor-rated locations, under standard industrial codes.
By combining a high current rating with reliable SPVR trip and optional diagnostics, it reduces downtime from unintended trips and simplifies maintenance planning. The availability of auxiliary and fault-detection options minimizes unplanned replacements and supports longer intervals between service outages, improving overall ROI in critical power distribution applications.
