Eaton HCU2300D5IP00 HCU2 Harmonic Correction Unit IEEE-519
Part Number: HCU2300D5IP00
Quick Summary
The Eaton HCU2 active harmonic correction unit delivers targeted harmonic mitigation for industrial power systems, ideal for data centers, manufacturing lines, and heavy equipment. High THD from non-linear loads often causes nuisance trips, overheating, and reduced efficiency, complicating maintenance and driving up energy costs. Certified to IEEE Std. 519 for harmonic control, IEC 61000-3-2/3-4 for emissions, and UL 508C for industrial control panels, it supports safe and compliant deployment. Designed for 380-480 V three-phase systems, it improves power quality and reliability, delivering measurable business value. Its chassis-mount NEMA 1 enclosure with bottom-entry wiring simplifies installation and service in indoor electrical rooms.

FAQs
Plan for a chassis-mount installation with bottom-entry cabling in a NEMA 1 indoor enclosure. Verify panel space, allow clearances for airflow, and confirm that existing wiring can be routed through the bottom entries. The unit’s 66.4 in depth and 704 lb weight require suitable mounting structure and access for service. Ensure compatible circuit protection and proper isolation during maintenance.
The HCU2 actively mitigates harmonic distortion to meet regulatory standards, aligning with IEEE Std. 519 limits for harmonic currents and voltages. It supports 380-480 V three-phase systems at 50/60 Hz and is designed to reduce total harmonic distortion in feeders with nonlinear loads. This improves power quality, reduces panel thermal stress, and helps maintain compliant downstream equipment operation.
Yes, the unit is rated for indoor, industrial use with a NEMA 1 enclosure and bottom-entry cable interface, suitable for factory floors and electrical rooms. Eaton provides a warranty of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, offering protection against manufacturing defects and supporting long-term ROI.
By actively correcting harmonics, the unit lowers THD, reduces overheating risk in feeders, and minimizes losses associated with poor power quality. This translates to steadier motor performance, fewer nuisance trips, and reduced maintenance interventions. The enclosure and installation design also shorten commissioning time, lowering total cost of ownership for facilities with high non-linear loading.
The system is a chassis-mounted unit with bottom-entry cables, designed for indoor installations. It occupies significant space within a dedicated electrical cabinet and requires careful planning for cable routing, clearance, and service access. Use the bottom-entry points to simplify wiring and maintain tidy panel layouts, while ensuring adequate space for future maintenance.
