FAQs
When planning installation, verify mounting space and clearances for a 17 in L Ă— 28 in W Ă— 28 in H footprint and 215 lb weight. Confirm compatibility with existing switchgear, ensure secure bolted connections, and align with Pringle/Siemens CBC components. Use the included AFGF relay and matched CTs as specified to maintain accurate current sensing and protection coordination. Ensure UL Listed compliance is maintained by following Eaton installation guidelines and local electrical codes.
A 2500A rating allows direct switching of high-current loads without derating or supplementary contactors in many configurations, simplifying protection schemes and reducing executor count. This improves fault clearance times and minimizes voltage drop across feeders. For designer teams, it means fewer components to source and integrate, leading to shorter project timelines and lower lifecycle costs in industrial facilities and large distribution panels.
Yes, for applications requiring robust high-current switching and dependable reliability, the SCB2533B120480C fits feeding large loads and critical equipment in data centers and manufacturing lines. Its UL Listed certification supports regulatory compliance, while the included CTs and relay streamline protection coordination. Ensure your system design accommodates the 17 in by 28 in footprint and the 215 lb mass for mounting requirements and service access.
The SCB2533B120480C is UL Listed, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical equipment. Certification matters because it supports regulatory acceptance, supplier qualification, and safer operation in industrial facilities. While other certifications may vary by market, UL Listed status is a key indicator of suitability for demanding high-current switching in switchgear and distribution panels.
Maintenance benefits arise from a rugged bolted contact design and a stable mounting footprint that reduce loosening and contact wear in vibration-prone environments. The inclusion of a relay and matched CTs minimizes wiring errors and commissioning time, improving startup reliability. Over the life of a facility, these factors translate into lower maintenance labor, fewer unplanned outages, and a favorable return on investment through improved system uptime.
