Feature: 1600A amperage rating provides a robust single-switch solution for large feeders, reducing the need for parallel devices and simplifying protection coordination. The business impact is improved equipment uptime, lower installed cost, and easier spare-part management. In applications such as switchgear, MCCs, and main feeder panels, this unit delivers dependable, scalable protection for demanding loads. Feature: 480V line voltage with 120V control voltage enables direct integration with standard plant power and control circuits. This compatibility minimizes additional transformers and wiring complexity, reducing installation time and material costs. It is well suited for control circuits and protection schemes across industrial automation environments. Feature: Top-feed, three-pole, three-wire fusible configuration with a top-feed arrangement simplifies ducting, wiring routes, and panel layouts. The design supports safer isolation and faster maintenance, while the three-pole construct ensures balanced protection across phases. Engineers appreciate the clear labeling and consistent Eaton accessory compatibility for quick upgrades. Feature: Arc Energy Reduction Relay and matched CTs are included, delivering reduced arc flash energy and coordinated protection. The business impact is safer maintenance routines and lower PPE requirements, with improved fault sensing and selective tripping. In practice, installers can verify CT ratios and relay settings during commissioning to optimize protection curves. Feature: UL Listed certification provides confidence in safety and reliability, aligning with typical NFPA 70E and safety compliance requirements. The rating supports procurement consistency and streamlined vendor qualification. By design, this device integrates into existing Eaton ecosystems and supports future modernization projects. Feature: Installation and compatibility advantages include top-feed wiring, compact bolted construction, and seamless integration with matched CTs and ARER accessories. The result is faster commissioning, predictable performance, and easier stocking for service teams. This combination is especially valuable in high-availability facilities where downtime must be minimized. Additionally, the design supports industry-standard maintenance practices: field-replaceable components reduce downtime, while the included CTs enable precise protection coordination with existing feeder protection schemes. Operators benefit from clearer fault diagnostics and faster restoration after incidents, while procurement gains from a single source for both switchgear and accessories.
