B-LINE R1024 HCC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton B-Line R1024 HCC termination cabinet be installed outdoors?
Yes. The R1024 HCC bussed gutter and termination cabinet is a NEMA type 3R enclosure, so it is rated for outdoor use against rain, sleet and falling water. It is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, and it is UL Listed. It is not a washdown or dust-tight enclosure, so for hosedown or heavy dust locations you need a 4X-type enclosure instead.
2) What conductor sizes will the line lugs on this 400 A bussed gutter take?
The line side lugs accept #4 through 600 MCM conductors, which covers a single 400 A feeder run in copper or aluminum. The load side has 5/16 inch mounting holes for load lugs, so the load lugs are bolted on and sized to the taps you are running. The cabinet is a 3 phase, 4 wire configuration.
3) Is the R1024 HCC rated for a 400 A service and what fault current can it take?
The bus is rated 400 A with a 10 kAIC interrupting rating, so the available fault current at the point of installation has to be 10 kA or less. On services with higher available fault current you need a cabinet with a matching higher AIC rating.
4) How much wall space and support does this Eaton B-Line termination cabinet need?
Plan on a 24 inch wide by 22 inch high footprint with a 6 inch depth off the wall, surface mounted. It weighs 60 lb, so anchor into studs, masonry or Unistrut rather than drywall alone. The shallow 6 inch depth matters in tight electrical rooms where a deeper gutter would crowd the working clearance in front of the equipment.
5) How many cables can I tap off this bussed gutter per phase?
The R1024 HCC is set up for (2) 1/0-250 MCM cables on the load side per the cabinet configuration, in a 3 phase, 4 wire arrangement. If you need more taps than that off a single 400 A feeder, you are into a larger termination cabinet or a distribution panel.
6) Should I use a bussed gutter or a distribution panel to split one feeder into several?
A bussed gutter like the R1024 HCC is a termination point only, not overcurrent protection. It lands a 400 A feeder on bus and lets you tap off multiple sets of conductors, and each tap still needs its own protection downstream. If you want breakers or fuses at the split point, order a distribution panelboard instead. The gutter is the cheaper, shallower choice when the downstream equipment already has its own main.
7) What is the exact Eaton part number for this 400 A 3R bussed gutter?
Order it as Eaton B-Line R1024 HCC. That number covers the 400 A, 3 phase 4 wire, NEMA 3R galvanized steel cabinet with #4 to 600 MCM line lugs and a 10 kAIC rating.
