Part Number: HCU2200D5N12
Quick Summary
Eaton HCU2200D5N12 Active Harmonic Correction unit improves power quality for heavy industry electrical systems. It addresses a common pain point: harmonic distortion that causes motor overheating, nuisance tripping, and reduced equipment life. This solution aligns with critical standards such as IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519, along with UL 508C and CSA certifications for regulated environments. By targeting 380-480 V systems at 50/60 Hz with a 200 A rating, the HCU2 unit offers robust, scalable harmonic mitigation. The result is lower energy waste, fewer outages, and a stronger return on investment for facilities pursuing uptime and compliance. Engineers appreciate the clear installation guidance and proven performance in demanding environments.

Feature: Active harmonic correction technology reduces total harmonic distortion by injecting corrective currents that cancel harmonics at the source. Business Impact: improved electrical efficiency, cooler equipment operation, and fewer transformer and motor losses. Application: ideal for data centers, robotics-intensive manufacturing lines, and drives-heavy plant floors. Feature: Amperage rating of 200A with a 380-480V, 50/60 Hz supply. Business Impact: supports medium-to-large three-phase loads without needing parallel correction units, lowering footprint and maintenance. Application: large motors, presses, and conveyor systems in industrial facilities. Feature: Integral disconnect for safe maintenance. Business Impact: simplifies service work, enhances safety protocols, and reduces downtime during routine checks. Application: regular maintenance windows and retrofit projects in regulated environments. Feature: Flexible cable entry (top or bottom) and floor-mount, NEMA 12 enclosure. Business Impact: installation flexibility minimizes civil work, accelerates commissioning, and improves protection against dust and moisture. Application: retrofit upgrades and new builds in manufacturing and processing plants. Feature: Compliance with IEC 61000-3-2/3-4, IEEE 519, UL 508C, CSA standards. Business Impact: regulatory alignment reduces risk of non-conformance and supports audits. Application: facilities in medical, data center, and industrial sectors where performance and reliability are mission-critical. Watt losses of 5.4 kW reflect intentional power correction efficiency, balancing performance with energy stewardship and long-term operating costs.

FAQs
For installation, ensure a solid, level floor capable of supporting the 1073 lb unit. The NEMA 12 enclosure provides dust and moisture protection suitable for industrial environments. Use top or bottom cable entry to fit existing wiring layouts, and allocate space for service access and ventilation. Verify 380-480V supply and 50/60 Hz operation, and follow the Eaton installation guide during commissioning.
The HCU2 injects corrective currents to counter dominant harmonic orders at the source, reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) and stabilizing voltage curves. This results in cooler motors, less overheating, and fewer nuisance trips. It is particularly effective with nonlinear loads common in drives, welders, and presses operating at 380-480V three-phase systems.
Yes. The unit supports IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-2/3-4 compliant operation, ensuring harmonic limits are met for industrial loads. Its 200A rating and 380-480V capability make it suitable for plants with dense drive systems, CNC machinery, and high-current equipment where regulatory compliance and power quality are critical.
Certifications include IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, IEEE Std. 519, UL 508C, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 14. This combination supports safe operation, electrical compatibility, and formal endorsement for use in regulated industrial environments and building systems.
Maintenance intervals align with standard electrical enclosure upkeep; inspecting connectors and the integral disconnect during scheduled downtime is typical. ROI derives from reduced energy losses (5.4 kW losses mitigation), improved equipment life, and decreased outage risk due to superior power quality, contributing to lower maintenance costs and higher plant uptime.
