Eaton 500TPHSR431W LV AutoVAR 600 Capacitor Bank - UL/CSA
Part Number: 500TPHSR431W
Quick Summary
Eaton LV AutoVAR 600 capacitor bank delivers targeted power factor correction for large, three-phase facilities. Without proper PF control, utilities can levy penalties, and motor loads run hotter, reducing equipment life and efficiency. This unit carries critical safety and performance certifications, including UL Listed, CSA Certified, UL 508A, and IEEE Std. 18 compliance, providing reliability for demanding environments. Built for 480 V systems, it supports scalable PF correction while helping you optimize transformer loading and energy costs. In practice, engineers gain consistent voltage profiles and improved system efficiency, enabling smoother operations and better capital utilization across manufacturing, processing, and data-center applications.

FAQs
Installation requires a 480V three-phase supply and space for a heavy unit (1080 lb) with dimensions of 25 in by 41.3 in by 80 in. Plan for a dedicated enclosure or rack, proper clearance for cooling, fuse protection, and a separate current transformer (CT) as specified. Ensure correct wiring for the 601A rated current and that the unit is connected per manufacturer guidelines and local codes.
Key specs include 480 V operating voltage, three-phase configuration, 60 Hz frequency, 601 A amperage rating, and a 500 kVAR kVA rating with 10 Ă— 50 kVAR steps. The system provides PF correction in a scalable format, with heavy-duty capacitor cells and protective fuses, designed for robust performance in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The AutoVAR 600 is UL Listed and CSA Certified, with additional compliance to UL 508A, UL 810, and IEEE Std. 18. These certifications support electrical safety, control-panel suitability, and capacitor-bank reliability in regulated facilities such as manufacturing plants and data centers.
Large industrial facilities with significant reactive power loads—such as steel, chemical processing, pumping and HVAC systems, and data centers—benefit from improved power factor and voltage stability. The 500 kVAR rating with 10 × 50 kVAR steps provides scalable control to meet varying demand while reducing penalties and transformer loading.
Warranty is Eaton’s policy: one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular maintenance includes fuse protection and inspection of capacitor cells, with the requirement for a separate CT for accurate current sensing. Follow Eaton’s service guidance to maximize capacitor life and system reliability.
