Eaton PRL2A3100X30C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is this PRL2A interior panel used for?
This is a 3-phase 4-wire interior electrical panel rated for 100 amps with 30 circuits. Used as main or sub-panel distribution in commercial and industrial facilities requiring 480Y/277V power distribution.
2) What voltage configuration does this panel handle?
This panel is configured for 480Y/277V 3-phase 4-wire systems. The 480V is line-to-line voltage and 277V is line-to-neutral voltage, commonly used in commercial lighting and equipment applications.
3) How many circuits can this panel accommodate?
This panel provides 30 circuit positions. Circuit configuration depends on breaker types installed - single-pole breakers use one space each, while multi-pole breakers use multiple spaces.
4) What does the copper bus system provide?
The copper bus system offers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to aluminum. Copper buses handle high current loads more effectively and provide reliable long-term connections in demanding environments.
5) Where should interior panels be installed?
Interior panels must be installed in dry, ventilated indoor locations. Provide adequate clearance per NEC requirements. Not suitable for outdoor, wet, or corrosive environments without additional protection.
6) What are the main amperage limitations?
This panel has a 100-amp main rating. Total connected load must not exceed this rating. Main breaker or disconnect protects the panel and must be properly sized for the supply conductors.
7) What breaker types are compatible?
Use only breakers specifically listed and approved for this panel model. Check manufacturer specifications for compatible breaker series and ratings. Different manufacturers' breakers are typically not interchangeable.
8) What are the basic installation requirements?
Install on structural backing capable of supporting panel weight. Follow NEC clearance requirements. Connect supply conductors to main lugs or breaker. Install proper grounding and bonding connections. Verify all connections are tight.
9) How do I determine proper wire sizing?
Wire sizing depends on load calculations, distance, and ambient temperature. For 100-amp service, typically requires minimum #3 AWG copper or #1 AWG aluminum. Consult NEC tables and local codes for specific requirements.
10) What maintenance does this panel require?
Inspect connections annually for tightness and signs of overheating. Check for corrosion or damage. Test breakers periodically. Keep panel area clean and free of debris. Schedule professional maintenance for high-use installations.
11) Can this panel be used as a sub-panel?
Yes, this panel can function as a sub-panel when fed from a larger main distribution panel. Ensure proper overcurrent protection at the supply panel and separate grounding and neutral buses as required by code.
