Renewal parts

Recombiners can be complex assemblies with unique parts to fit  

the specific application and need . The manufacturer offers expertise 

with renewal part identification . To ensure safety and to maintain 

UL listing, it is essential that only new parts and components from 

Eaton be used .
When ordering renewal parts or when requesting information  

on the Recombiner, it is essential to include as much information  

as possible . 
Each Recombiner will have a nameplate and other identification 

marks with details that will help expedite information requests and 

orders . The following may be required to help identify parts and 

information requests:

• 

GO or General Order Number

• 

Item number

• 

Description of the equipment

• 

Supply voltage

• 

Equipment ratings

• 

Catalog number or style number of part, if available

•
