Eaton SCB1234T120480C Bolted Pressure Switch - UL Listed
Part Number: SCB1234T120480C
Quick Summary
The Eaton SCB1234T120480C bolted pressure switch provides reliable protection for high-current, three-phase electrical distributions in industrial facilities. When mis-timed trips or worn contacts occur under heavy loads, production downtime and maintenance costs rise dramatically. UL Listed certification underpins safety and reliability in switchgear assemblies, while its 1200A at 480V rating aligns with demanding power distribution needs. Designed for top-feed installations with three-pole, three-wire configurations, it integrates smoothly with standard Eaton and UL-listed panel components, supporting scalable plant expansions. In practice, engineers gain predictable operation and lower lifecycle costs, with safer, more efficient control of critical processes and easier integration into existing electrical infrastructures.

FAQs
Key installation considerations include top-feed orientation for secure wiring, accommodating the 16 x 24 x 28 inch footprint, and planning for a 180 lb weight during mounting. Use UL-listed panels and compatible Nexus-CT or relay-CT accessories to ensure safe isolation and reliable tripping under full-load conditions.
The switch is rated for 1200A at 480V, three-pole with three-wire configuration. This enables handling of high-current feeders and large motors. Performance hinges on proper panel integration, correct bus connections, and adherence to UL-listed component interfaces to maintain protection coordination and reliable trips.
Yes. With its high amperage rating and three-pole topology, the SCB1234T120480C is well-suited for switchgear assemblies and motor control centers that require robust isolation, dependable switching, and straightforward wiring in industrial facilities.
The unit carries UL Listed certification, which supports safety compliance and procurement approvals in regulated environments. Always verify that all accompanying components (cables, relays, and panels) are UL-listed or certified to maintain overall panel accreditation and safe operation.
The bolted contact design and high-current rating reduce nuisance trips and wear-related downtime. Coupled with UL-listed safety, predictable lifecycle costs and lower maintenance intervals can be achieved, leading to improved uptime, safer operations, and better total cost of ownership in demanding manufacturing settings.
