FAQs
SPECIAL1211 ships without terminals, so you should pair it with compatible lugs or StrandAble terminals designed for Series C MCCBs. Ensure correct torque and conductor sizing per NEC guidelines, and select wiring accessories that match the three-pole J-frame footprint for a secure, compliant installation.
This 225 A, three-pole MCCB is ideal for industrial control panels, motor control centers, and machine control circuits. Its Series C J-frame design supports reliable protection on 240 VAC and 480 VAC systems, with high fault-current ratings that suit manufacturing lines and automated processes.
SPECIAL1211 provides 225 A continuous rating with 65 kAIC at 240 VAC and 35 kAIC at 480 VAC. These ratings inform selectivity and fault tolerance in panel design, enabling safe interruption of faults without damaging upstream equipment while maintaining service continuity in heavy-duty applications.
Yes, SPECIAL1211 is UL Listed and uses the Series C J-Frame design. It is a three-pole, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic breaker with a shunt-trip option, intended for use in compatible Eaton MCCB assemblies and panel designs that require standardized protection across multiple assets.
Time-current curves and datasheets are available in Eaton’s specifications and downloads for Series C MCCBs, including the SPECIAL1211 page. Look for the J-Frame time-current curves, catalog references, and terminal accessory guides to ensure precise protection coordination and compliant installation.
