Bolted pressure contact construction delivers high-current reliability with minimal contact wear, reducing maintenance cycles and unexpected failures in demanding environments. This leads to longer service life and fewer field interventions in critical control panels. 1200A at 208V capacity supports heavy-power loads within switchgear and MCCs, enabling you to consolidate circuits and simplify inventory while improving overall energy management and safety. The bottom-feed configuration streamlines wiring termination, lowers panel depth requirements, and enhances wiring organization, which translates to faster commissioning and reduced risk during modernization projects. Three-pole, three-wire architecture ensures balanced phase control and reliable interlocking across the control system, reducing miswiring and enabling safer, more predictable operation. UL Listed certification provides a clear compliance signal for electrical safety, easing procurement audits and installation approvals. ArcRed/GF Relay-CT integration helps manage arc energy, improving protection in high-energy switching events. The heavy 180 lb form factor and 16 × 28 × 24 in footprint reflect a robust build intended for durable, long-life installations in harsh industrial settings.

FAQs
Plan for the 16 in depth by 24 in width and 28 in height footprint, with a 180 lb weight to support secure mounting. Use bottom-feed wiring terminations to align with your panel layout, ensuring UL Listed compliance. Verify clearances for safe access to the three-pole, three-wire connections and provide proper bus bar and terminal torque per Eaton guidelines.
The unit is rated for 1200A at 208V, configured as a three-pole, three-wire switch with bottom feed and bottom fuse configuration. It carries UL Listed certification and uses bolted pressure contact technology for reliable high-current switching in industrial panels.
Yes. The 1200A at 208V rating, three-pole, bottom-feed design, and UL Listing make it appropriate for MCCs and heavy-control panels. Its robust construction supports consistent actuation under load and simplifies integration with MCC bus systems and OEM enclosures, reducing potential bottlenecks during panel upgrades.
The SCB1234B120208C is UL Listed, which provides a formal safety certification for electrical components. This helps streamline procurement and installation approvals in many regions and aligns with standard industry safety practices. Always verify any region-specific requirements beyond UL Listing for your application.
Adopting this switch can lower downtime due to its high-current reliability and reduced maintenance frequency. The bottom-feed, simplified wiring design accelerates installation and commissioning, while UL Listing supports faster regulatory clearance. Over time, these factors translate to reduced labor costs, improved panel uptime, and greater overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
