Reactor Power Panels (RPPs) make maintenance of downstream equipment safer by limiting fault current and
reducing the risk of arc flash. The 2500A Current-Limiting Reactor is designed to be used as part of a reserve
power source for multiple downstream RPPs with Bypass Cabinets. An Current-Limiting Reactor, when used
as a component of a reserve power source, allows multiple downstream RPPs to be taken offline for
maintenance while the Current-Limiting Reactor temporarily provides the same safety benefits as the offline
RPPs.

The Current-Limiting Reactor is a stand-alone unit with no operational controls. Switching to reserve power
occurs at the downstream RPP Bypass Cabinet. For operational procedures on switching downstream RPPs to
reserve power, see these companion Eaton manuals:
• Reactor Power Panel V2 (250A) Installation and Operation P–164001118.
• Retrofit Bypass Cabinet for Reactor Power Panels (250A) Installation and Operation P–164001119
Cable entry can be from top or bottom of the unit. An Current-Limiting Reactor can also have an optional side
car that provides additional cable entry space for conduit. The side car allows already installed floor conduit to
align with the unit. See section
Chapter 4 Power Cabling .
Left and right front panel doors enable infrared scanning from the front of the unit.
The 2500A Current-Limiting Reactor cabinet structure and dimensions are shown below.
