Pringle switch and replacement parts


Product description
Products include:
Eaton’s PringleE switches have helped pioneer development
of high-quality electrical products for commercial and industrial
applications since 1891. Our commitment to engineering excellence
and reputation for quality have made us a recognized leader in the
electrical industry, and today you’ll find our electrical products in use
throughout the U.S., Canada and most of the world’s major markets.
Eaton’s Pringle bolted contact switches were the first in the industry
and are a worldwide standard in high-current switching applications.
They are custom-built and used in many heavy-duty applications, and
are suitable for use in ULT 891 switchboards.
Manually operated (QA)—UL Listed
Manually operated contact switch with quick-positive switching
action. It can be top or bottom fed and supplied in a NEMA 1, 3R,
4, or 12 enclosure.
Electrical trip (CBC)—UL Listed
Contact switch with charge-before-close mechanism. Can be
manually or electrically tripped. Optional blown fuse detector
and phase failure relay with capacitor trip is available.
Fault protector electrical trip (FP)—UL Listed
The FP combines the features of a CBC switch but includes
an integrated zero-sequence sensor and a ground fault.

Electrically operated electrical trip (EO)—not UL Listed
eaton corporation www.eaton.com
The EO combines the features of a CBC switch but includes an
operator with a linear motor that electrically closes the switch while
charging the stored energy mechanism for stored energy trip.
Pringle Mill Switch (PMS)—not UL Listed
Manually operated contact switch with quick-positive switching
action. Comes in a NEMA 12 or 4 enclosure with a side-operated
mechanism. Can be fused or non-fusible, two- or three-pole
configurations.
