60 A amperage rating supports mid-to-large industrial loads, delivering stable voltage to critical equipment. This reduces conductor heating and transformer losses, improving overall efficiency in manufacturing lines. It is well-suited for three-phase 380–480 V networks common in automotive, packaging, and metalworking facilities. Active harmonic correction technology minimizes harmonic distortion with a low energy penalty, as indicated by a 7.1 kW watt loss figure. The business impact is lower cooling costs and longer motor life, translating to reduced maintenance and downtime. In practice, plants see more consistent power for CNC machines and robotics. Certifications to IEEE 519, IEC 61000-3-2/3-4, and UL 508C support grid-code compliance and procurement confidence, while also aiding audits in regulated industries. The robust protection and safety certifications reassure operators during long production runs. NEMA 1 floor-mount enclosure with bottom cable entry simplifies installation, speeds commissioning, and reduces wiring errors. The substantial 929 lb chassis provides durability on busy factory floors. With 50/60 Hz compatibility and a broad footprint, this unit is a versatile solution for multi-site operations, offering consistent performance across regional facilities. Eaton’s design also anticipates future load growth, providing a clear path for serviceability and upgrades as needs evolve.

FAQs
What installation steps are recommended for retrofits? Begin with a floor-mounted, space-aware placement in a suitable electrical room. Use bottom cable entry to minimize cabinet modifications, ensure proper mounting hardware for the 929 lb unit, and verify 380–480 V three-phase availability. Plan for adequate clearance and access for service. Confirm compatibility with existing outlets and feeders and follow local codes for lockout/tagout during commissioning.
The HCU2300D5IP31 delivers active harmonic correction that aligns with IEEE 519 targets, reducing harmonic distortion on the line. This translates to cooler transformers, lower conductor losses, longer motor life, and improved overall efficiency across manufacturing lines. Expect smoother operation of drives and reduced nuisance tripping with compliant power quality performance across 50/60 Hz networks.
Yes. With a 60 A rating, three-phase 380–480 V compatibility, and a bottom-entry wiring approach, the HCU2300D5IP31 is well-suited for retrofit projects. The NEMA 1 enclosure supports floor installations in existing plant rooms, and its weight and dimensions are manageable for dedicated equipment alcoves. Carefully plan for crane or fork-lift access during installation due to the 929 lb weight.
The unit carries IEEE Std. 519, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, UL 508C, and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 14. These certifications ensure compliance with harmonic limits, electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, and suitability for use in industrial environments. They simplify procurement, audit readiness, and regulatory alignment across North American and international facilities.
Customers typically see ROI from reduced downtime, lower cooling/heating losses, and extended motor life due to improved power quality. The unit requires minimal routine maintenance beyond periodic inspections and wiring checks during service windows. The 7.1 kW watt loss figure helps quantify heat management benefits, supporting predictable energy budgeting and long-term operational reliability.
