Retrofit Kits
Retrofit kits include a circuit breaker or fusible switch with the bus connecting links (connector kit) and necessary mounting hardware to add a branch circuit to an existing panelboard or switchboard chassis.
The necessary space must be available in the panelboard or switchboard chassis as indicated on the configuration screen. They are not for use in replacing or creating a main device. They are not for use in replacing or creating a main device. It is necessary to know the type of panelboard for which a retrofit kit is required.
The bus connectors and mounting provisions vary by panelboard type even though the same branch device may be involved. For power distribution panelboards, the width of the panelboard enclosure can be used to help identify the panelboard type as follows:
· PRL4 Panelboards (circuit breaker or fusible switch devices) - Standard widths are 24", 36" and 44".
· CDP Panelboards (vintage panelboard with circuit breaker devices) - Standard widths were 30", 38", 42" and 48".
· FDP Panelboards (vintage panelboard with fusible switch devices) - Standard widths were 30", 38" and 42".
· Switchboards (circuit breaker or fusible switch devices) - Standard widths are 36" and 45".
Blank filler covers may be required to fill any gap or opening in the panelboard or switchboard chassis that might be created by removing an existing cover or device to add the new one.
PRL4 circuit breaker retrofit kits include 1 circuit breaker (or 2 if selected for double branch mounted kit) as configured, with the required connector kit, necessary hardware, device cover and instructions to install the branch device(s) in the panelboard.
PRL4 fusible switch retrofit kits include 1 switch, 3-pole, (single or twin) with the required connector kit, necessary hardware and instructions to install the branch device in the panelboard. Fuses are not included.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to local Eaton Satellite Plant.
Switchboard circuit breaker retrofit kits include 1 circuit breaker (or 2 if selected for double branch mounted kit) as configured, with the required connector kit, necessary hardware, device cover and instructions to install the branch device(s) in the switchboard.
Switchboard fusible switch retrofit kits include 1 switch, 3-pole, (single or twin) with the required connector kit, necessary hardware and instructions to install the branch device in the switchboard. Fuses are not included.
NOTE: For applications that require ground fault may require field alterations to existing neutral bus which can only be done/supervised by EATON's EESS to keep warranty intact. Ensure EESS is involved in installation if applicable.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to local Eaton Satellite Plant.
CDP Retrofit Kits (Original Westinghouse Panelboard)
CDP circuit breaker retrofit kits include 1 circuit breaker (or 2 if selected for double branch mounted kit) as configured, the required connector kit, necessary hardware, device cover and instructions to install the branch device(s) in the panelboard.
NOTE: CDP retrofit kits can also be used to add a branch device (chassis mounted) to existing WF group mounted switchboards.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to the Sumter Plant Aftermarket Center.
FDP Retrofit Kits (Original Westinghouse Panelboard)
FDP fusible switch retrofit kits include 1 3-pole switch (single or twin), the required connector kit, necessary hardware and instructions to install the FDP fusible switch retrofit kits include 1 3-pole switch (single or twin), the required connector kit, necessary hardware and instructions to install the branch device in the panelboard. The vertical bus bar centerline spacing must be 3.50 inches phase to phase for these retrofit kits to be installed. If the busbar spacing is 4.25 inches phase to phase, these retrofit kits will not fit and no parts are available.
NOTE: FDP retrofit kits can also be used to add a branch device (chassis mounted) to existing WF group mounted switchboards.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to the Sumter Plant Aftermarket Center.
MP40 Retrofit Kits (Original Cutler-Hammer Panelboard)
MP40 circuit breaker retrofit kits include 1 circuit breaker (or 2 if selected for double branch mounted kit) as configured, the required connector kit, necessary hardware, device cover and instructions to install the branch device(s) in the panelboard.
NOTE: MP40 retrofit kits can also be used to add a branch device (chassis mounted) to existing MP2 group mounted switchboards and to existing Cutler-Hammer labelled CDP panelboards and to existing Cutler-Hammer type NFB panelboards that are 26.5 to 36 inches wide.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to the Sumter Plant Aftermarket Center.
MP100 Retrofit Kits (Original Cutler-Hammer Panelboard)
MP100 fusible switch retrofit kits include 1 3-pole switch (single or twin), the required connector kit, necessary hardware and instructions to install the branch device in the panelboard.
NOTE: MP100 retrofit kits can also be used to add a branch device (chassis mounted) to existing MP2 group mounted switchboards.
For devices or arrangements not included here, refer to the Sumter Plant Aftermarket Center.
