FAQs
The BKG2M175B is designed as a BOT MCB KIT for Eaton panelboards and related low-voltage distribution systems. It aligns with PDG2XM style protection devices, facilitating straightforward substitutions in Eaton-configured systems. Compatibility is particularly straightforward for Eaton panelboards configured for bot-mount main breakers, minimizing field adjustments and ensuring electrical continuity during retrofits.
The kit is rated at 175 A, with a rated operational current of 175 A. This capacity supports main protection for typical 175 A service feeders and aligns with common industrial distribution requirements, helping to prevent nuisance trips while enabling safe coordination with downstream protective devices.
Yes. The BKG2M175B carries UL 67 certification and is NEMA compliant, providing assurance of electrical safety, performance, and compatibility with standard panelboard enclosures used in North American installations.
The kit measures 6 inches in length (depth), 3 inches in height, and 4 inches in width, with an approximate weight of 5 pounds. These compact dimensions simplify replacement in space-constrained switchgear rooms and reduce handling time during installation or service calls.
Pow-R-Xpress streamlines stocking and procurement, enabling rapid availability of the BKG2M175B across distributor networks. This reduces lead times for panelboard upgrades, lowers maintenance downtime, and improves total cost of ownership by ensuring consistent part availability, predictable maintenance schedules, and faster field replacements.
