B-LINE RES1600LS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line RES1600LS rating plug actually do in an Eaton Series G breaker?
The RES1600LS is the rating plug that sets the continuous current rating of an Eaton Series G molded case circuit breaker with an electronic trip unit. The breaker frame carries the interrupting capability; the plug tells the electronic trip what ampere rating to protect at. This one is rated 1600A on an RG-frame breaker.
2) Can I use the RES1600LS rating plug to down-rate a different Eaton breaker frame?
No. The RES1600LS is a non-interchangeable rating plug, so it only goes into the Eaton Series G RG-frame breaker it is built for, at the 1600A rating. Non-interchangeable means you cannot move it between frames or swap it into a breaker it was not keyed for. If your frame is not an RG, you need the rating plug catalogued for that frame.
3) I need to change the trip setting on a 1600 amp Eaton Series G breaker - do I replace the whole breaker?
Not necessarily. On Series G breakers with an electronic trip unit, the ampere rating is set by a plug-in rating plug rather than the breaker itself, so changing the rating is a plug change, not a breaker change. The RES1600LS establishes the 1600A rating on an RG-frame. Because it is non-interchangeable, the plug must match the frame it is installed in.
4) What part number do I give my distributor for the 1600A Eaton Series G rating plug?
Order it as RES1600LS. That is the manufacturer part number on the plug, and it identifies the 1600A rating for the Series G RG-frame breaker. Specify the frame you are installing into when you order, since these plugs are frame-specific.
5) Where can I get the published specifications for the RES1600LS rating plug?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the RES1600LS, and it is linked directly from the product information for the plug. That sheet is the reference to hand an engineer or inspector who needs the manufacturer data behind the 1600A Series G rating plug.
