Eaton GWPBQ2048PR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Eaton Pow-R-Xpress GWPBQ enclosure rated for outdoor installation?
The Pow-R-Xpress GWPBQ enclosure carries a NEMA 12/3R rating, so it covers both the indoor industrial case (dust and falling dirt) and outdoor exposure to weather. That is what lets the same box go on a plant floor or on an exterior wall without switching product lines. It is UL 67 listed, which is the listing for panelboards, so it is the right family for distribution equipment rather than a plain junction box.
2) What amperage ratings does the Eaton Pow-R-Xpress GWPBQ enclosure come in?
Three ratings across the 20 x 36 x 6.5 inch box: 100A (GWPBQ2036PR), 225A (GWPBQ2042PR, GWPBQ2048PR and GWPBQ2060PR) and 400A (GWPBQ2072PR). Pick by the main device feeding the panel, then by how many pole spaces the branch schedule needs, because the 225A rating spans three different pole counts.
3) How many pole spaces can I get in an Eaton Pow-R-Xpress GWPBQ panel?
Pole counts run 18, 24, 30 and 42. GWPBQ2036PR is 18 poles at 100A, GWPBQ2060PR is 24 poles and GWPBQ2048PR is 30 poles (both 225A), and 42 poles is available two ways, GWPBQ2042PR at 225A and GWPBQ2072PR at 400A. If you are building out a schedule that will grow, the 42 pole boxes are the same 20 x 36 x 6.5 inch footprint as the smaller counts, so going up in poles costs no extra wall space.
4) How deep is the Eaton GWPBQ enclosure, and will it fit a 2x4 stud wall or a shallow chase?
Depth is 6.5 inches and width is 20 inches. That 6.5 inch depth is deeper than the 3-1/2 inch cavity of a 2x4 stud wall, so it will not flush-mount in standard 2x4 framing without furring the wall out or building a chase. On a surface mount, which is the usual case for an industrial or exterior 3R install, the box projects 6.5 inches off the wall and you need 20 inches of clear width plus working clearance.
5) Does a NEMA 12 rating cover a washdown or wet area?
No. NEMA 12 protects against dust, dirt and falling debris, and the added 3R rating covers outdoor rain and weather on a vertical surface. Neither one is a washdown or hosedown rating. For a food plant washdown bay or anywhere the enclosure gets sprayed directly, the GWPBQ is the wrong box and you want a NEMA 4 or 4X housing instead. Dry indoor industrial space, dusty process areas and exterior wall mounting are what the 12/3R rating is for.
6) What do I need to specify when ordering an Eaton Pow-R-Xpress GWPBQ enclosure?
Three things settle the order: enclosure size (20 x 36 x 6.5 inches or 20 x 90 x 6.5 inches), amperage rating (100A, 225A or 400A), and pole count (18, 24, 30 or 42). Those three land you on a single catalog number, for example GWPBQ2072PR for the 400A 42 pole. Breakers, main devices and the interior trim are separate line items and are not part of the enclosure itself.
7) Is the Eaton GWPBQ a panelboard enclosure or just a wiring trough?
It is panelboard equipment, not an empty pull box. The UL 67 listing is the standard for panelboards, and the catalog numbers are ordered by amperage and pole count, which only makes sense for distribution gear. Practically, that means an electrician is landing a main and branch breakers in it, not just splicing conductors through it.
