FAQs
The SPECIAL605 is a three-pole J-frame MCCB designed for feed-through wiring, simplifying installation in 3-phase panels. Ensure compatible busbar spacing, verify the 690 V AC rating for your system, and connect the feed-through terminals per Eaton installation guidelines to achieve a clean, safe interconnection with minimal field splicing.
Key ratings include 80 A nominal current, 690 V AC operating voltage, and 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 415 Vac. The adjustable thermal/fixed magnetic trip provides selectivity for overloads and short circuits, improving protection accuracy and reducing unwanted trips in variable-load environments.
Yes. The device supports an auxiliary switch (1A-1B rear with 36 in right pigtail) and a shunt-trip option (48-127 Vac or 48-60 Vdc left pigtail with 36 in leads), enabling integration with remote signaling, interlocks, and automatic shutdown schemes in modern control architectures.
The SPECIAL605 carries IEC Rated certification, indicating compliance with international electrical safety and performance standards. This supports global procurement and reduces risk when deploying across regional sites that require recognized electrical protection devices.
Take advantage of the compact footprint and feed-through capability to maximize panel density, reduce wiring complexity, and simplify future upgrades. The included remote accessories and rugged J-frame design help minimize downtime, extend service intervals, and lower lifecycle costs in demanding industrial environments.
