Eaton 83C4950G21 VCP-W test kit - 48 Vdc G&T Device
Part Number: 83C4950G21
Quick Summary
The Eaton VCP-W test kit enables on-site testing of VCP-W protection relays in DC power systems. Engineers often wrestle with downtime and inconsistent results when testing high-current protection devices in the field. While this data set doesn't list exact certifications, many deployments rely on CE safety compliance and consider SIL-rated controls and IP-rated enclosures in mission-critical environments. The kit's rugged cabinet design and documented performance deliver tangible business value, enabling faster commissioning and safer testing. With a 1200/2000 A current range and 48 Vdc operation, it supports realistic test scenarios and helps reduce the total cost of ownership for electrical protection programs.

High-current test capability enables direct validation of Eaton VCP-W protection schemes. With a 1200/2000 A current rating, the kit supports realistic fault simulations on 48 Vdc DC buses, reducing guesswork during commissioning. This translates to faster qualification of Eaton protection schemes in data centers, manufacturing lines, and energy storage installations. Safe 48 Vdc operation reduces risk to technicians and equipment during testing, enabling safer field trials and reducing arc-flash exposure. The integrated test harness and electrical isolation practices align with industry best practices, helping you meet safety and regulatory requirements more consistently. The rugged cabinet design and precise dimensions provide a stable, repeatable test platform that minimizes movement and measurement drift. Weighing 525 lb, with dimensions of about 29.32 in x 36.84 in x 27.88 in, it fits in dedicated test spaces and benefits from proper lifting equipment during installation. A multimedia training resource is included (Circuit Breakers Explained video), accelerating technician onboarding and reducing time-to-competency on Eaton protection hardware. Compatibility with Eaton VCP-W devices and a 48 Vdc DC bus ensures straightforward integration into existing protection architectures, improving procurement efficiency and reducing integration risk. The 83C4950G21 catalog number and UPC simplify asset tracking and spares planning. Industry-ready test capability supports large-current testing in controlled environments, enabling quicker fault-reproduction and faster troubleshooting, so teams can shorten commissioning windows and improve overall system reliability.
