FAQs
Begin by ensuring the power is de-energized and the PDG2XM configuration is compatible with the BKG2M175. Remove the existing breaker assembly, align the Pow-R-Xpress kit with the mounting hardware, and secure per Eaton installation guidelines. Verify bus connections, re-energize, and perform a status check using the quick-reference guide in Eaton’s datasheets.
The kit provides a 175 A amperage rating with a rated operational current of 100 A, supporting both single-phase and three-phase configurations. UL 67 certification and NEMA compliance verify safety and rugged performance, enabling dependable protection for panelboards in industrial environments and ensuring proper coordination with downstream protection devices.
Yes. The compact 6 x 4 x 3 inch footprint and 5 lb weight facilitate retrofits in space-constrained enclosures. Its convertible design supports evolving protection needs without full panel replacement, making it well-suited for expanding facilities, motor loads, and mixed-use panelboards within the Pow-R-stock ecosystem.
The BKG2M175 carries UL 67 certification and is NEMA compliant. UL 67 confirms panelboard safety performance, while NEMA compliance ensures resilience in industrial environments. These certifications simplify compliance budgeting, warranty considerations, and reduce procurement risk for regulated facilities.
The kit reduces downtime during upgrades, lowers spare-part complexity, and enables scalable protection with the Pow-R-Xpress family. By converting existing PDG2XM configurations rather than replacing entire assemblies, maintenance costs drop and system availability improves, delivering faster project timelines and predictable lifecycle costs.
