FAQs
BR4242PV200R is a Type BR loadcenter configured for outdoor use with a factory-installed 200 A CSR main breaker. It accepts 42 circuits and uses copper bus rated at 225 A, delivering seamless integration with Eaton BR and CSR components while minimizing field wiring and mis-match risk during upgrades or expansions.
This loadcenter excels in outdoor commercial and industrial solar-ready installations, especially where PV integration, NEC compliance, and weather protection are priorities. It supports 42 circuits across 42 spaces, with a NEMA 3R enclosure, making it ideal for solar-wired service entrances, outdoor switchgear rooms, and facility distribution hubs.
Plan for outdoor mounting with the NEMA 3R enclosure. The unit includes rainproof panels with hub closure plates and a cover, reducing field sealing challenges. Ensure PV input does not exceed 70 max PV and verify alignment with the 200 A CSR main breaker for proper space allocation and wiring routing in the 42-space frame.
Key ratings include a 225 A copper bus, 42 circuits/spaces, 70 max PV input, 35 kAIC interrupt rating, and a 200 A main breaker (CSR). These specs deliver robust protection for large loads and PV interfacing while maintaining compact footprint and reliable fault current handling in industrial environments.
Eaton backs BR4242PV200R with a 10-year limited warranty and NEC compliance, providing long-term protection and regulatory assurance. Routine maintenance focuses on door seals and enclosure cleanliness, with attention to any weather-related wear in outdoor installations to preserve the NEMA 3R performance.
