Feature → Business Impact → Application: Solar-ready design with 70 max PV input and a 200 A CSR main breaker enables seamless PV interconnection without additional enclosure modifications, reducing install time and potential points of failure in outdoor sites. Practical application includes roof-mounted or ground-mounted PV arrays at commercial facilities, where reliable utility tie-in and safe distribution are critical. Feature → Copper bus rated at 225 A minimizes voltage drop and supports high fault-clearing performance, delivering improved system efficiency and long-term reliability for feeders and branch circuits in industrial environments. Application spans mixed-use facilities requiring consistent supply during PV operations and grid events. Feature → NEMA 3R enclosure with rainproof panels and hub closure plates provides outdoor durability and weather resistance, reducing corrosion risk and maintenance while complying with NEC requirements in exposed installations. Application covers outdoor electrical rooms and weather-exposed installations in harsh climates. Feature → 40 circuits and 20 spaces within a BR loadcenter design offers scalable distribution for growing solar and load needs, supporting phased system expansion with minimal hardware changes. Application includes facilities planning multi-string PV deployments and future electrical upsizing. Feature → 10-year warranty and NEC compliance give operators confidence in lifecycle cost, serviceability, and regulatory alignment, translating to lower maintenance costs and improved ROI for facility owners and operators.

FAQs
Begin by verifying compatibility with a 200 A CSR main breaker and 40 circuits/20 spaces. Connect PV conductors up to 70 A, route feeders through copper bus rated 225 A, and install in a NEMA 3R enclosure. Use hub closure plates to seal any openings and follow NEC guidelines for service entry, grounding, and overcurrent protection to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.
Important specs include 200 A main CSR, 35 kAIC interrupt rating, 70 max PV input, copper bus rated at 225 A, 40 circuits/20 spaces, and a NEMA 3R enclosure. Also note NEC compliance and rainproof panels with factory-installed main breaker. Ensure the service-size, conduit routes, and PV interconnection meet local code and utility requirements.
Yes. The BR2040PV200R uses a NEMA 3R enclosure designed for outdoor protection against rain and weathering. This, combined with rainproof panels and hub closure plates, enables reliable outdoor operation while maintaining NEC compliance. For installations in exposed environments, ensure proper mounting, sealing, and weatherproof tidy-up per Eaton's guidance.
The unit carries a 10-year limited warranty and NEC-compliant construction, offering long-term protection and predictable maintenance costs. Support includes access to Eaton specification sheets and installation resources, with the option to review the BR2040PV200R in the latest product datasheets for up-to-date installation practices.
PV integration is streamlined by the 70 A max PV input and factory-installed 200 A main breaker, reducing field assembly steps and potential rework. The copper bus and robust NEMA 3R enclosure minimize voltage drop and weather-related maintenance, delivering faster deployments, lower maintenance costs, and improved uptime—ultimately enhancing project ROI in commercial and light-industrial solar deployments.
