FAQs
The Eaton HCU2060D5N1 is an active harmonic correction unit designed to mitigate harmonic distortion in three-phase electrical systems operating at 380–480 V. It is well-suited for manufacturing lines, pumps, and drive-heavy facilities where power quality directly affects equipment life, energy efficiency, and uptime. This solution helps meet stringent harmonic limits while minimizing voltage distortion in real-world installations.
Active harmonic correction continuously monitors harmonic content and injects counter-distortion to flatten the current waveform. This reduces total harmonic distortion (THD), improves power factor, and lowers strand losses in motors and drives. In practice, facilities see fewer voltage spikes, less equipment heating, and more stable operation of sensitive loads such as CNCs, PLCs, and drives.
Plan for a wall-mounted, bottom-cable-entry enclosure in a clean control room or equipment area. The unit is rated for 380–480 V three-phase systems and uses a NEMA 1 enclosure, so ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and service access. align with existing switchgear and drive configurations, and account for proper electrical isolation during maintenance.
The unit complies with IEC 61000-2/3-4, IEEE Std. 519, UL 508C, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 14. These certifications confirm robust electrical compatibility, safety, and harmonic limits compliance. For manufacturers, this reduces regulatory risk, simplifies vendor qualification, and supports utility rebates or penalties avoidance in harmonically sensitive installations.
With 1.3 kW of inherent watt losses and 60 A capability, the HCU2060D5N1 delivers targeted harmonic correction without excessive idle power draw. Benefits include reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and improved equipment efficiency. The unit carries a typical warranty and aligns with long-term reliability expectations for mid-sized manufacturing and processing facilities.
