Eaton BKG2G225 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton Pow-R-Xpress main breaker kit actually do for a main-lug-only panelboard?
It converts a main-lug-only Eaton panelboard to a main-breaker configuration in the field. The Pow-R-Xpress kit is the mounting hardware and conversion assembly that lets a PDG2XG type breaker sit in the panel as the main overcurrent device, so you can add main breaker protection without replacing the panelboard interior.
2) Does this kit include the circuit breaker itself?
No. It is the main breaker mounting kit for PDG2XG type breakers. The PDG2XG breaker is ordered separately, and the breaker's amp rating and frame need to line up with the kit you pick, either the 225A BKG2G225 or the 600A BKG3G600.
3) Can I mount this Eaton main breaker kit at the bottom of the panel if my feeder comes up from below?
Yes. The kit is convertible for both top and bottom mounting, so you can set the main in whichever end matches your existing conduit and feeder routing. That is the main reason electricians choose this kit on retrofits where the service entry cannot be moved.
4) I have an Eaton panel but the breaker on hand is not a PDG2XG. Will this kit still take it?
No. The kit is built specifically to accept PDG2XG type breakers, and the mounting and bus connections are matched to that frame. A different Eaton breaker series will not land correctly. Confirm the breaker type stamped on your device is PDG2XG before ordering either the 225A or 600A kit.
5) Will the Pow-R-Xpress main breaker kit work on a three-phase panel, or is it single-phase only?
Both. The kit is rated for single-phase and three-phase distribution, so the same part applies to a 1-phase lighting panel or a 3-phase distribution panel in a commercial or industrial building.
6) What voltage is the Eaton BKG main breaker kit rated for?
480V. That covers 480Y/277V and 480V three-phase systems typical of commercial and industrial distribution. If the panel you are converting is a 208Y/120V panel, 480V-rated hardware is still above the applied system voltage, but the kit must match the panelboard and breaker series the manufacturer specifies.
7) Is the 225A kit and the 600A kit interchangeable if I want to upsize the main later?
They are separate kits, not a common chassis with different trim. BKG2G225 is built around a 225A main and BKG3G600 around a 600A main, so upsizing the main later means a new kit, not just a new breaker. Size the kit to the main you expect the building to need.
