Feature: The STS368NW31-1B00 offers a robust 1200 A amperage rating with fusible protection, delivering reliable isolation for high-current feeders. Business impact: This capability limits fault currents and reduces arc-flash risk during maintenance or fault events, helping facilities meet strict safety standards. Application: It is well suited for motor control centers, main lugs, and critical feeders in industrial plants where downtime is costly and uptime is mission-critical. Feature: Three-pole configuration with a 120 Vac coil provides synchronized actuation across all phases, enabling consistent fault clearance. Business impact: Simplifies wiring, improves phase balance, and supports faster, safer trips in demanding electrical environments. Application: Ideal for switchgear, MCCs, and heavy-duty control panels requiring reliable multi‑pole isolation. Feature: NEMA 4X enclosure offers rugged protection against dust, moisture, and wash-downs. Business impact: Reduces corrosion risk and maintenance cycles in outdoor or harsh indoor environments. Application: Suitable for outdoor installations, wet plants, and other demanding locations. Feature: Includes integrated alarm and sensing options—1NO/NC Alarm Switch, 480V CPT, and GF Relay & Sensors. Business impact: Enables proactive fault signaling and diagnostics within the protection scheme, improving uptime and safety monitoring. Application: Helpful for plant-wide safety interlocks and condition-based maintenance programs. Feature: Large footprint with 23.15 in depth, 72.5 in height, 47.23 in width, and a 405 lb weight. Business impact: Requires planned installation in appropriate switchgear footprints but provides substantial protection for critical feeders and high-current circuits. Application: Best suited for centralized protection in main switchgear rooms and control centers.

FAQs

Plan for a robust mounting footprint given the unit's size (approx. 47.23 in wide, 72.5 in high, and 23.15 in depth) and 405 lb weight. Ensure three-pole connections are correctly wired for phase alignment and that torque specs on all terminals are followed. Verify UL Listed and cUL Certified labeling and provide appropriate ingress protection for the installation environment. Allow sufficient clearance for serviceability and future wiring extensions within standard switchgear layouts.
The switch is rated for 1200 A with fusible protection, supporting 600 Vac and 250 Vdc. The coil voltage is 120 Vac, and the device is a three-pole safety switch designed to isolate all three phases when energized. This combination ensures reliable tripping and compatibility with common industrial power systems and control circuits.
Yes. The unit uses a NEMA 4X enclosure, which is designed for weather-resistant and wash-down environments. This makes it appropriate for outdoor installations or harsh indoor areas where moisture, dust, and cleaning regimes are factors. UL Listed and cUL Certified add confidence in its safety and performance in challenging conditions.
Catalog notes indicate the unit includes 1NO/NC Alarm Switch, 480V control power transfer (CPT), and a GF relay with sensors. These features enable integrated alarm signaling and sensor-based monitoring within the protection scheme, supporting proactive maintenance and enhanced safety diagnostics.
Deploying this shunt trip switch in an MCC or switchgear delivers faster, safer isolation during faults, reducing unplanned downtime and arc-flash exposure. UL Listed and cUL Certified components support regulatory compliance, while the rugged NEMA 4X enclosure and high amperage rating protect critical feeders, lowering maintenance costs and extending service life of power distribution assets.
