Feature: 1520A amperage rating enables handling large feeder currents without needing multiple blocks in parallel. Impact: reduces wiring complexity, lowers footprint, and improves system reliability. Application: main feeders and large distribution circuits in manufacturing lines and data centers. Feature: 10 kAIC short‑circuit rating (SCCR) enhances upstream protection coordination and safety, allowing simpler protection schemes and fewer upstream components. Impact: lowers total installed cost while boosting protection margins. Application: panel boards and switchgear assemblies in harsh industrial environments. Feature: 600 Vac / 600 Vdc voltage rating supports both AC and DC distribution in mixed‑voltage systems, enabling universal integration with motor drives and DC buses. Impact: versatile use across equipment, reducing part counts. Application: machine controls, feeders, and utility‑grade power centers. Feature: Black molded thermoplastic base with tin‑plated aluminum connectors provides durable isolation and corrosion resistance in demanding settings. Impact: long‑term reliability and reduced maintenance. Application: outdoor enclosures and humid plant environments. Feature: Compact 3.32 in height and 4 in width footprint with a barrier design improves installation density and simplifies panel layout. Impact: higher wiring density and easier routing. Application: confined control panels and compact electrical cabinets. Feature: Includes industry documentation and access to Eaton specification sheets for quick engineering reference, aiding standardization and procurement. Impact: faster specification, lower project risk, and consistent performance across sites. Application: engineering design reviews and procurement workflows in automation projects.

FAQs
Start with de‑energizing the panel and verifying enclosure clearance. Align the 16400‑G1 with the barrier provisions, secure the molded thermoplastic base to the panel surface, and terminate feeders with the tin‑plated aluminum connectors. Use proper torque per Eaton guidelines, route conductors to minimize cross‑talk, and ensure clear labeling for safe operation and future maintenance.
The 16400-G1 is rated at SCCR 10 kAIC with 600 Vac and 600 Vdc. This matters because it defines the maximum fault current the block can safely interrupt, influencing protection coordination and component selection upstream. Accurate SCCR ratings help prevent nuisance tripping and improve overall system reliability in high‑current applications.
Yes. With a 1520A amperage rating and 10 kAIC SCCR, the 16400‑G1 supports large feeders within robust control panels. Its barrier design and durable connectors minimize resistance and heat buildup, enabling reliable operation in demanding environments such as manufacturing cells and processing lines.
Compliances and certifications for the 16400‑G1 are noted as 'Contact factory' and 'Contact Manufacturer' in the data, so confirm with Eaton for the latest certifications (SCCR compliance, material safety, and regional standards). This ensures alignment with your local regulatory requirements and installation standards.
The 16400‑G1 delivers long‑term reliability through a durable thermoplastic base and corrosion‑resistant tin‑plated connectors, reducing contact resistance and maintenance. Its high current rating and compact footprint lower panel space needs and wiring complexity, which translates to faster assembly, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership over the system life cycle.
