FAQs
The HCU2300D5N12 supports three-phase 380-480 V operation and is designed for floor mounting in a NEMA 12 enclosure. It offers top or bottom cable entry and an integral disconnect for streamlined wiring, making retrofit and new installations straightforward within standardized industrial power systems.
Active harmonic correction targets non-linear loads to reduce harmonic currents, improving motor and drive efficiency, reducing overheating, and enhancing power factor. While site results vary, users typically see better voltage stability and reduced regulatory risk under IEEE 519 while maintaining compliance with UL 508C and CSA standards.
Industries with heavy automation, mixed non-linear loads, and high current demands—such as automotive, metal fabrication, plastics, and process industries—benefit most. Manufacturing lines and data centers that require reliable power quality in 380-480 V systems see improved equipment life and reduced maintenance needs.
The unit complies with IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, IEEE Std. 519, UL 508C, and CSA C22.2 No. 14. These certifications support regulatory approvals, supplier qualification, and risk mitigation in global deployments, reducing the time to approve new installations.
With a nominal watt loss of 7.1 kW for harmonic correction and improved power quality, facilities can realize energy savings, reduced equipment wear, and lower maintenance costs. The one-year warranty and straightforward maintenance access, thanks to integral components, contribute to a favorable ROI on long-term power quality projects.
