B-LINE 16RES14T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton Series G 16RES14T rating plug actually do in a molded case breaker?
The 16RES14T is the rating plug that sets the continuous current rating of an Eaton Series G molded case circuit breaker. The breaker frame and electronic trip unit are sized larger; the plug is what fixes the amp setting the breaker actually holds to. This one sets 1400A. Swapping the plug is how you change a breaker's rating without changing the breaker.
2) Will the 16RES14T rating plug fit my Eaton breaker, or do I need to match the frame?
Frame has to match. The 16RES14T is an RG-frame Series G plug, so it belongs in an RG-frame Series G breaker. Plugs from other Eaton frame sizes are not interchangeable with it, and putting a plug in the wrong frame is not a fit you can force. Confirm the frame designation printed on the breaker face before ordering.
3) I need to derate a 1600A Series G breaker down to 1400 amps. Is a rating plug the right part?
Yes, that is exactly what this part is for. Rather than replacing the breaker, you install the plug that corresponds to the rating you want. The 16RES14T sets 1400A on an RG-frame Series G breaker, so it is the part for taking a larger RG frame down to a 1400A continuous rating.
4) What is the exact part number I should put on the order for a 1400A Series G rating plug?
Order Eaton catalog number 16RES14T. That single model number covers it; there are no finish, handing, or size options to specify. It is a 1400A rating plug for the RG frame in the Series G line.
5) Do I get a new circuit breaker with the 16RES14T, or just the plug?
Just the plug. The 16RES14T is the rating plug module only, not a breaker and not a trip unit. You need an existing RG-frame Series G breaker for it to go into. If the breaker itself has failed, a plug will not solve it.
6) How big is the 16RES14T rating plug and how much does it weigh?
It is a small module: 5 inches long, 1.8 inches wide, 1.6 inches high, and about a tenth of a pound. Nothing about it changes the breaker's footprint in the panel, and it ships easily for a next-day swap at a site.
7) Where do I find the published trip curve and technical data for the 16RES14T?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet specifically for the 16RES14T, and it is linked directly from the product information for this plug. That document is the source to hand an engineer reviewing a coordination study for the 1400A setting.
