80 A amperage rating at 690 V with 50/60 Hz input ensures compatibility with most industrial motor drives, enabling harmonics mitigation at scale and driving improved drive efficiency. Business impact: reduced thermal stress on power electronics and motors, leading to longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs. Application: suitable for large manufacturing lines and heavy machinery where harmonic load is high. The NEMA 12 enclosure and floor-mount design support rugged installation in factory environments, simplifying retrofits and service access. Business impact: faster commissioning, safer maintenance, and minimal downtime during upgrades. Watt losses of 4.5 kW reflect active harmonic correction; while there is an inherent energy cost, the overall system benefits include lower harmonic currents, improved power factor, and cleaner power for downstream equipment. Application: retrofit projects in existing drive corridors or new builds seeking reliable power quality. Certifications IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, IEEE 519, UL 508C, CSA confirm regulatory compliance and OEM alignment, reducing project risk. Business impact: smoother procurement, streamlined approvals, and consistent performance across regions. The unit supports 50/60 Hz networks and three-phase configurations, enabling global deployment without specialty changes. Application: multinational facilities and campuses with varied electrical systems. Overall, the HCU2 platform aligns with industrial digitalization goals, delivering measurable improvements in uptime, energy management, and compliance across operations.

FAQs
The HCU2080D7N12 is designed for floor-mount installation in industrial spaces with three-phase, 690 V power. It features a NEMA 12 enclosure for rugged environments and a footprint suitable for dedicated spaces or retrofit applications. Ensure proper electrical clearance, follow local wiring codes, and connect per the supplied Eaton installation guidelines. The unit’s 50/60 Hz rating supports global operations, and its 80 A class capacity aligns with common motor-drive loads.
Expect significant reduction in harmonic currents entering drives, improving overall system efficiency and motor life. IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-2/3-4 compliance translate to better power factor and less overheating in power electronics. In manufacturing lines with frequent motor starts and variable loads, you’ll see reduced drive stress, fewer nuisance trips, and more predictable maintenance windows.
Yes. The unit complies with IEEE Std. 519, IEC 61000-3-2/3-4, UL 508C, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 14. This certification set ensures the product meets critical power-quality and safety requirements, easing OEM approvals and regional compliance. For projects in data centers, manufacturing, or process industries, these certifications reduce risk and streamline procurement and commissioning.
The HCU2080D7N12 uses a rugged NEMA 12 enclosure designed for factory floors and controlled indoor spaces. Floor mounting supports stable integration into existing plant layouts. Dimensions are 57.18 in long, 88.24 in high, and 25.69 in wide, with a weight of 1492 lb, which informs space planning, rigging, and service access during installation.
ROI centers on reduced downtime, energy waste, and improved equipment reliability from better power quality. While 4.5 kW watt losses reflect active correction, the downstream savings from fewer faults, longer motor life, and stable operation across 50/60 Hz networks drive cost avoidance. Routine inspections and periodic firmware or parameter updates, when available, help sustain peak performance.
