Feature: Non-combination, main lug only design reduces upfront costs by removing the need for a main breaker in many panel retrofits. Business Impact: installers save on parts, simplify wiring, and shorten commissioning times, delivering faster project ROI. Application: ideal for CPL plug-in loadcenter configurations in industrial control panels where future feeder additions are anticipated. Feature: 200 A rating with 40 circuits provides scalable headroom in compact footprints. Business Impact: engineers can consolidate feeders and minimize cabinet depth, reducing enclosure footprint and material costs. Application: suitable for mid-size manufacturing line panels and data-center auxiliary power cabinets where three-phase, 120/208 V loads predominate. Feature: NEMA 1 enclosure built from 16 gauge galvanized sheet steel delivers reliable indoor protection against dust and incidental contact. Business Impact: improves longevity in factory environments and lowers maintenance intervals. Application: ideal for clean, indoor electrical rooms, control panels, and ancillary equipment bays. Feature: Flush or surface cover options simplify mounting tolerances and aesthetics. Business Impact: reduces field rework and enables versatile installation in retrofit projects. Application: common in control rooms where panel visibility and access are prioritized. Feature: CPL plug-in loadcenter compatibility streamlines modular expansion. Business Impact: accelerates wiring changes and minimizes risk during future modifications. Application: widely used in industries adopting plug-in breakers and modular distribution for rapid line changes.

FAQs
Plan for indoor installation with a NEMA 1 enclosure and 16 gauge galvanized steel construction. Ensure mounting clears required clearances, confirm compatibility with flush or surface mounting, and verify feeder connections support up to #2-300 kcmil while accommodating four-wire service for 120/208 V three-phase systems.
The unit is rated for 200 A and 40 circuits, designed for 120/208 V three-phase systems. Feeder conductors up to #2-300 kcmil are supported, enabling flexible feeder sizing and future expansion without changing the main breaker configuration.
Yes, the 3CPL230 is designed for CPL plug-in loadcenter configurations and supports 40 circuits. This enables modular expansion and straightforward wiring changes as loads evolve in a panel without replacing the entire chassis.
A non-combination main lug design provides maximum wiring flexibility, reduces upfront hardware costs, and simplifies retrofits. It is particularly advantageous when future feeder additions or modular CPL plug-ins are anticipated, allowing phased upgrades without unnecessary main breaker replacements.
