Eaton EGSPIB50 Power Inlet Box - 50A, Opposite-Phasing
Part Number: EGSPIB50
Quick Summary
Power Inlet Box by Eaton provides a secure input interface for emergency and backup power in industrial facilities. It minimizes installation complexity and reduces downtime during generator transfers by offering a ready-to-wire inlet solution. Certification details should be confirmed with the manufacturer, but typical industry standards for enclosures include CE marking and IP-rated protection. This product also supports transfer-switch compatibility and is designed for reliable, compliant power input in critical facilities. A compact footprint and light weight simplify panel integration, while compatibility with standard transfer switches helps shorten commissioning time and lowers total installed cost for mission-critical environments.

FAQs
The EGSPIB50 is designed for use with transfer switches in standby power configurations. It provides a dedicated inlet box interface to connect a generator or external supply to your switchgear. For installation, mount the unit in a suitable panel space, wire per local codes, and ensure correct phasing (TO opposite) to avoid misalignment. The compact 6x6x5 in footprint helps fit tight panels, reducing installation time and labor costs.
Key specs include 50A amperage rating, single-phase configuration, and opposite phasing. Physical dimensions are 6 in length, 6 in height, and 5 in width, with an approximate weight of 3 lb. The UPC is 786685423685, and the catalog number is EGSPIB50. This data supports precise compatibility checks with your transfer-switch hardware and enclosure space planning.
Yes. Its compact footprint and light weight are advantageous for retrofit projects where space is at a premium. The inlet box simplifies wiring by providing a dedicated power input point for generators or external sources, enabling faster commissioning and minimizing enclosure alterations. Always verify panel clearance, wiring methods, and phasing in coordination with your transfer switch and local electrical codes.
Certification details should be confirmed with the manufacturer. The product description notes 'Certifications: Contact Manufacturer,' which means you should request the official certificates and ratings from Eaton before procurement. In practice, look for standard enclosure and electrical safety certifications (for example UL/CE) per your project requirements and applicable jurisdiction, and obtain the latest datasheet for exact compliance statements.
The EGSPIB50 can reduce downtime during power transfers by enabling quick, reliable generator connections and streamlined commissioning. Its compact size lowers panel modification costs, while its robust compatibility with transfer switches minimizes wiring errors and maintenance needs. Over the life of the system, this translates to faster recovery times during outages and lower total installed cost in mission-critical environments.
