FAQs
The U264 is designed for side mounting, a practical choice for compact meter centers. Its four-jaw, ring-type connectors and #6-250 MCM lug provisions enable straightforward wiring in constrained panels, while maintaining secure, code-compliant terminations. This setup simplifies installation and reduces field rework.
U264 is rated for 200 A with a single pole and three-wire configuration. It uses four jaws and supports line and load lug sizes of #6-250 MCM, with a ring-type cover. The unit includes manual circuit closing for controlled commissioning and is UL Listed for safety and reliability.
The U264 is intended for installation within appropriate enclosures in commercial or industrial environments. It carries UL Listed certification and features ANSI 61 paint; ensure the installation location provides suitable protection. The documented degree of protection is 3, underscoring enclosure compatibility rather than an outdoor IP rating.
U264 carries UL Listed certification, validating conformance to safety standards for electrical equipment. This supports code compliance in many jurisdictions and simplifies inspection, installation planning, and warranty considerations when integrating into Eaton B-Line power distribution assemblies.
Durable steel construction with ANSI 61 finish, plus a robust four-jaw connection and manual circuit closing, reduces maintenance cycles and arcing-related wear. The standardization of lug sizes (#6-250 MCM) minimizes field fabrication and simplifies future upgrades, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the panel's life.
