Digitrip 310 RMS electronic trip provides precise overcurrent protection for downstream equipment. The result is improved coordination and fewer nuisance trips in critical loads. This is particularly valuable in automated manufacturing lines where uptime directly drives productivity. It also supports selective coordination strategies to prevent cascading trips, even as loads vary with production demands. Three-pole NG-frame design supports 1200A service with high fault current ratings. With 85 kAIC at 240V and 50 kAIC at 480V, it can clear high-energy faults quickly, reducing damage potential. This makes it suitable for large machine feeders and panel boards in heavy industry. The rating curves align with motor starting surges and transient loads, supporting reliable operation. Field installation benefits include reduced arc-flash exposure due to rapid fault clearing. Line and load terminations with metric terminals simplify wiring and documentation. 100% rated operation ensures consistent performance under continuous load. The product's compact footprint and defined mounting cues aid OEM panel builders in tight enclosures. Labeling consistency reduces commissioning time and errors, while inline documentation improves serviceability and future upgrades. UL Listed, IEC Rated, and CSA Certified markings support regulatory compliance across North America and beyond. These certifications help with audits and procurement, reducing risk. The Series G platform is known for selective coordination, improving protection without unnecessary trips. OEMs can leverage these certifications to meet procurement requirements and speed up customer audits. Physical dimensions are 6 in (length) × 9 in (height) × 16.5 in (width), and it weighs 48 lb. This data helps with space planning and installation tooling. The 1200A rating suits large power pools while staying within typical panel profiles. The footprint aids shelf placement in warehouses and simplifies kitting for service teams. Auxiliary switch and shunt trip options provide remote signaling and enhanced safety interlocks. This flexibility supports modern control schemes and machine safety standards. The optional accessories enable remote interlock strategies and easier integration with factory security systems and automation networks.

FAQs

NGS312033MCA12S03Z08 is designed for panelboard and switchgear installations using three-pole NG-frame MCCB layouts. It supports line and load terminations with metric terminals, which simplifies wiring diagrams and reduces torque requirements. The device is UL Listed, CSA Certified, and IEC Rated, making it suitable for both North American and international control panels. It meets OEM panel requirements and supports standard installation practices.
Digitrip 310 RMS is an electronic instantaneous trip system that monitors current and issues an accurate trip signal when thresholds are exceeded. This enables tight, selective protection, preventing upstream trips and reducing downtime. For drive systems and robotics applications, it ensures precise protection is maintained without sacrificing throughput and helps manage start-up surges effectively.
Yes. The NGS312033MCA12S03Z08 is rated for 480 Vac operation at 50/60 Hz and provides short-circuit current ratings of 50 kAIC at 480V and 85 kAIC at 240V. This makes it appropriate for large machinery feeders, process equipment, and distribution panels in modern plants that run on standard high-power networks. Its rugged construction also supports continuous duty in demanding environments.
UL Listed, CSA Certified, and IEC Rated markings validate compliance with North American and international electrical standards. These certifications simplify supplier qualification, expedite procurement, and support performance testing during audits. For industrial applications, they provide confidence that the MCCB meets short-circuit, endurance, and environmental requirements under real-world operating conditions. This helps with traceability and regulatory accountability during audits.
Installation benefits include straightforward line/load labeling, compatible metric terminals, and optional auxiliary switch or shunt trip for enhanced control. Eaton provides application notes and service centers to assist with field replacement parts, troubleshooting, and coordination studies.
