Eaton Specification Sheet - CB3033T120480KGR5
High-current capability and fusible protection are inherent strengths of this switch, rated to handle 3000A at 480V with a fusible pathway designed for robust fault isolation. This reduces the number of devices required upstream, simplifies protection schemes, and lowers total ownership costs. In motor control centers and large distribution panels, the CB3033T120480KGR5 delivers dependable, single-point protection for critical loads, improving uptime and system safety across demanding manufacturing environments. Interlock with a capacitor trip device (SPVR) and a 1 NO-1 NC contact configuration deliver fast, predictable trips and safer power-down sequences. The capability to perform charge-before-close helps prevent inrush damage and reduces arcing in high-energy circuits, valuable in drive systems and process lines where reliable sequencing protects expensive motors and reduces maintenance cycles. Top feed and ground-fault protection options simplify wiring and improve fault visibility. With a top-feed configuration and a dedicated ground fault relay option, installers can achieve cleaner cable routing and faster fault diagnosis in challenging installations. A control-power transformer arrangement supports stable control circuits, reducing nuisance trips in environments with fluctuating power quality. UL Listed assurance paired with broad enclosure ratings (NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 12) provides installation flexibility from clean rooms to exposed outdoor panels. The combination supports compliance with safety codes while enabling use in harsh environments, including moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Optional accessories and documented provisions—Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Auxiliary Contacts, Kirk provisions—enable modular upgrades and future-proofing. These options simplify integration with PLCs and remote diagnostics, ease panel expansion, and help meet regulatory inspection requirements. In retrofit projects, the ability to add protections without replacing the entire switch reduces downtime and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
When installing CB3033T120480KGR5, plan for its top-feed configuration and fusible protection to optimize wiring routes in large switchgear enclosures. Ensure compatibility with NEMA 1, 3R, 4, and 12 ratings for environmental protection, and verify that the control circuit is fed from a stable 120 V source to minimize nuisance trips. If using optional ground-fault or auxiliary contacts, integrate with PLC or protection relays to maximize diagnostic visibility.
The switch is rated for 3000A at a system voltage of 480V, with a 1NO-1NC contact configuration and a capacitor trip device (SPVR) for reliable fault clearance. This enables single-point protection for large motors and feeders, reducing the need for parallel devices and simplifying protection schemes while improving uptime in heavy-duty industrial processes.
Ideal for motor control centers, switchgear assemblies, and power distribution panels in manufacturing and process industries, especially where high current, fast fault isolation, and robust enclosure protection are required. Its UL Listed status and NEMA-rated compatibility make it adaptable from clean rooms to harsher facilities with moisture or dust exposure.
This device carries UL Listed certification and supports NEMA protection ratings 1, 3R, 4, and 12, enabling safe operation across diverse environments. Optional features like Ground Fault Relay and auxiliary provisions help meet regulatory and safety requirements, while the product's performance characteristics align with industry best practices for high-current switchgear protection.
Expect reduced downtime through faster fault isolation and fewer nuisance trips due to SPVR and ground-fault options. The high-current rating consolidates protection into a single device, lowering part counts and wiring complexity. Over the life of a retrofit or new panel, this translates to lower maintenance costs, simpler diagnostics, and improved equipment availability.
