Eaton HCU2157D6IP54 Active Harmonic Correction Unit IP54
Part Number: HCU2157D6IP54
Quick Summary
Eaton HCU2157D6IP54 is an active harmonic correction unit designed to improve power quality in three-phase, 600 V industrial systems. Many facilities struggle with harmonics from drives and nonlinear loads that inflate losses and shorten equipment life. The device complies with IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, and IEEE 519, and its IP54 enclosure supports durable floor-mount installation in demanding environments. This combination delivers measurable efficiency gains while simplifying compliance management for engineering teams. For procurement, the robust capacity of 157 A and 7.2 kW, along with 50/60 Hz compatibility, translates into reliable power quality across varied industrial processes.
