Feature: Active Harmonic Correction technology actively mitigates harmonic currents, delivering cleaner three-phase power and a steadier voltage profile. This directly reduces stress on motors, drives, and transformers, extending equipment life and improving overall system reliability. In practice, facilities using non-linear loads such as VFDs and switched-mode power supplies see fewer nuisance trips and smoother operation across critical lines. Feature: 80 A and 690 V ratings provide dedicated headroom for demanding applications. The unit can support large motors and drive systems without oversized panels, translating into lower capital cost and simplified electrical rooms. For manufacturers with multi-line processes, this rating supports concurrent loads while maintaining harmonic correction performance. Feature: IP31 enclosure and floor-mount design simplify indoor installation and serviceability. The footprint accommodates standard plant wiring ducts, and the floor mount reduces vibration concerns for heavy equipment areas. This configuration also enables faster installation, safer maintenance, and easier retrofits alongside existing Eaton harmonics products. Feature: 50/60 Hz operation and three-phase configuration ensure global compatibility with typical plant fleets. The 690 V rating aligns with common distribution schemes in industrial settings, enabling seamless integration with existing drives and non-linear loads. Engineers can plan replacements or upgrades without reconfiguring protection schemes. Feature: Compliance and standards support through IEC 61000-3-2/3-4 and IEEE 519, along with UL and CSA listings, provide regulatory confidence for OEMs and integrators. This reduces risk during audits and accelerates approvals for machine builders. The unit’s robust construction and documented certifications simplify procurement and installation workflows.

FAQs
The HCU2080D7IP31 is a floor-mounted, three-phase unit rated for 690 V and 50/60 Hz, designed for indoor protected spaces. Begin with a layout assessment to allocate adequate space for the IP31 enclosure and service clearances. Ensure wiring methods align with manufacturing plant practices, plan for standard cable trays, and verify harmonic mitigation interfaces with VFDs and non-linear loads. This model’s 80 A capacity supports sizable drives, reducing the need for multiple units. Use proper locking and labeling during installation to streamline commissioning and future maintenance.
The HCU2080D7IP31 is optimized for systems with non-linear loads and motor drives typical of manufacturing lines, conveyors, presses, and metalworking equipment. Its active harmonic correction reduces distortion in 3-phase power, improving PF and reducing overheating. It is well-suited for facilities operating at 690 V with 50/60 Hz power, where multiple drives operate simultaneously, enabling reliable performance without over-sizing electrical rooms.
Key certifications include IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-4 for harmonic current limits, IEEE Std. 519 for global harmonic control guidelines, UL 508C for safety of industrial control equipment, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 14. These markings support regulatory compliance, facilitate supplier approvals, and help mitigate risk during audits and machine-building processes.
By reducing harmonic currents and improving power factor, the HCU2080D7IP31 can lower energy waste and reduce thermal stress on electrical infrastructure, translating to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned outages. Although ROI varies by load mix, the hardware’s rugged IP31 enclosure and long service intervals support a favorable total cost of ownership, particularly in facilities with multiple VFDs and non-linear loads.
