Eaton 175MCSR631M LV AutoVAR 300 capacitor bank - UL 508A
Part Number: 175MCSR631M
Quick Summary
Eaton LV AutoVAR 300 capacitor bank provides reactive power compensation for three-phase industrial systems. Facilities struggle with rising energy costs and utility penalties when power factor slips. UL 508A, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 190, UL 810 ensure electrical safety, panel compliance, and reliable operation. This capacitor bank supports power factor correction for motors, drives, and HVAC in manufacturing floors. Engineers rely on Eaton's specification data to verify 600V suitability and three-phase load compatibility. By combining rigid certifications with scalable kvar capacity, it addresses both short-term commissioning and long-term reliability in critical power systems. Its 600V rating makes it compatible with common plant electrical frameworks and safe for indoor installations.

Feature: Wall-mounted AutoVAR 300 capacitor bank rated for 600V with 175 kvar of reactive power. Business impact: Delivers fast, automatic power factor correction that reduces utility penalties, minimizes voltage drop on motor starting, and lowers transformer loading during peak drive cycles. Application: Designed for retrofit into existing control panels or new installations in manufacturing facilities, where three-phase motors, conveyors, HVAC, and process loads push reactive demand beyond target levels. Feature: Three-phase AutoVAR control with a switched capacitor bank delivers continuous reactive-power support across load changes. Business impact: Maintains stable voltage profiles, improves motor efficiency, and reduces capacitor cycling wear by using a controlled switching strategy. Application: Ideal for installations in industrial plants, data centers, and process facilities with variable loads and frequent motor starts on 600V feeders. Feature: Certifications and safety approvals — UL 508A, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 190, UL 810, and IEEE Std. 18. Business impact: Supports rapid design approvals and safer field commissioning, reducing rework and risk. Application: Suitable for indoor electrical rooms and control panels in regulated environments such as manufacturing floors, automotive plants, and food processing facilities. Feature: Physical footprint and weight — 14 in length/depth, 36 in width, 60 in height, with an approximate 320 lb weight. Business impact: Predictable footprint simplifies enclosure planning, routing, and handling, lowering installation time and transport costs. Application: Fits standard wall-mount spaces and dedicated electrical closets in industrial facilities, enabling clean integration with existing switchgear. Feature: Documentation and data ready for engineers — Catalog Number 175MCSR631M, UPC 786685198798, and Eaton specification sheet. Business impact: Speeds procurement, reduces engineering time, and ensures traceability from BOM to field installation. Application: Useful for project specifications, maintenance planning, and compliance documentation across manufacturing, facilities, and OEM environments.

FAQs
Yes. The Eaton LV AutoVAR 300 is a wall-mounted, three-phase switched capacitor bank designed for easy retrofit. With a 600V rating and dimensions of 14 in L, 60 in H, and 36 in W, it fits typical enclosure spaces and aligns with standard mounting patterns. Certification to UL 508A and UL 810 supports safe field installation and panel integration.
The unit provides 175 kvar of reactive power at a 600V three-phase system. Catalog number 175MCSR631M confirms the spec, while the 14x36x60 in footprint and 320 lb weight clarify installation planning. Performance is tailored for consistent PF correction across motor drives, conveyors, and HVAC loads in industrial environments.
Absolutely. The AutoVAR 300 is designed for three-phase power factor correction, improving voltage stability and reducing energy penalties for motor and drive-heavy loads. It is well-suited for HVAC feeders, conveyor systems, and packaging lines in manufacturing facilities, while meeting rigorous UL and IEEE standards for reliability and safety.
The unit carries UL 508A, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 190, UL 810, and IEEE Std. 18 certifications, ensuring electrical safety, panel compatibility, and electrical-assembly compliance. These certifications help with design reviews, site approvals, and long-term regulatory adherence in regulated industrial environments.
Expect ROI from reduced utility penalties and lower energy costs due to improved power factor, plus extended equipment life from stabilized voltage. Maintenance is typically minimal for a fixed capacitor bank, with periodic inspections recommended to verify connections, enclosure integrity, and thermal performance, while the UL/IEEE certifications support reduced commissioning risk.
