120A amperage rating provides targeted harmonic control for mid-to-large loads. This translates into lower THD, cooler motors, and longer bearing life, which directly reduces unplanned downtime on production lines. Application: motor drives and rectifier-heavy loads in manufacturing facilities benefit from consistent performance and reduced thermal stress. 380-480 V voltage rating aligns with common industrial feeders, while 50/60 Hz compatibility supports global operations. The three-phase design ensures balanced performance across the plant, improving power factor and stability in drive systems. Application: power distribution in mixed-use industrial sites and equipment rooms with diverse load profiles. NEMA 12 enclosure, floor mounting, and integral disconnect provide robust protection and safer service in harsh environments. Cable-entry flexibility (top or bottom) simplifies installation and future rework. Application: retrofit projects or new builds where service access and long-term reliability are priorities. Weight of 860 lb signals a solid, professional installation in a dedicated equipment area. The floor-mount format delivers stable performance and easier alignment with upstream switchgear, while the unit’s footprint supports scalable deployment in medium- to large-size facilities. Application: data centers, machine shops, and packaging lines requiring dependable harmonic correction. Certifications IEC 61000-3-2/3-4, IEEE 519, UL 508C, and CSA C22.2 No. 14 provide regulatory confidence and ongoing compliance. Warranty is Eaton Selling Policy 25-000, one year from install or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first, reducing risk and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The unit is floor-mounted with a NEMA 12 enclosure and offers top or bottom cable entry, making it compatible with standard switchgear rooms. Its integral disconnect simplifies safe servicing, and its 47 in length, 90 in height, and 42 in width fit typical industrial footprints. Heavier installations (860 lb) should be planned with proper lifting equipment and clear access for routine maintenance.
The HCU2120D5N12 delivers active harmonic mitigation for demanding loads, reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) and associated heating in motor drives and rectifier circuits. While exact THD reduction depends on the installed load, users typically see improved motor efficiency, cooler operation, and extended asset life, contributing to lower downtime and maintenance costs.
This unit is certified to IEEE 519, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, UL 508C, and CSA C22.2 No. 14. These certifications address harmonic limits, electromagnetic compatibility, and electrical safety, easing audit readiness and ensuring safer operation in industrial facilities with mixed equipment and drives.
Eaton provides a warranty per policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage supports parts and labor for manufacturing defects and enables planning for preventive maintenance. For commissioning and after-sales support, Eaton's technical team can assist with field service and replacement parts.
Yes. With a 120A rating and 380-480 V three-phase compatibility, the HCU2120D5N12 is well-suited for motor drives, drives-heavy production lines, and data-center ancillary loads that generate harmonic currents. Its rugged enclosure, flexible installation options, and compliance with IEEE 519/IEC standards help protect sensitive equipment and maintain consistent power quality in critical environments.
