3+ 208VAC Breaker Cabinet

3+ 208VAC Breaker Cabinet

(OP)
I am looking for a 3Ø 208VAC cabinet with a single 400A breaker that will need an auxiliary contact for the state of the breaker and will need to be NEMA 3R or 4.  Has anyone used anything similar?  I do not know what to look for as far as manufacturers and breaker types.  Also, I have never seen a breaker with an auxiliary contact.  Thanks!

RE: 3+ 208VAC Breaker Cabinet

That is very common. Ask the same vendor, whom you would go to buy a regular breaker.

RE: 3+ 208VAC Breaker Cabinet

A shunt trip is a optional device to trip the breaker from an outside signal.  The coil has an operating voltage.

For one example of auxiliary contacts, search for CA01200002E.PDF [pg.223] at the Eaton/Cutler-Hammer website.  These are available for "aftermarket" installation in industrial-grade interchangeable-trip molded-case breakers.
