Introduction
Pow-R-Command system description
Pow-R-Command is an intelligent lighting and load
management system that integrates branch circuit
protection, control, and metering into a single panelboard
enclosure. The integrated components simplify the electrical
distribution and control systems design, eliminating
separate equipment enclosures and associated wiring.
Other benefits include reducing equipment wall space,
installation labor, and total installed cost. PRC is designed to
meet or exceed ASHRAE, IECC, and LEEDT requirements.
Pow-R-Command panelboards use Eaton Pow-R-Line 1a
and 2a lighting panelboard platforms to mount PRC-E
Series electronics and solenoid operated controllable circuit
breakers. Panelboard mains include 100 A to 400A in
main lug and main circuit breaker configurations. Available
voltages include 120/240, 208Y/120, and 480Y/277,
single-phase and three-phase. Panelboard options include
controllable and non-controllable circuit breakers, 200%
neutral, metering and surge protection devices (SPD).
Pow-R-Command intelligent panelboards are assembled in
Master and Expansion configurations. PRC-E Series Master
panelboards are designed for standalone and networked
systems. PRC components include controller with low-
voltage power supply, Breaker Control Bus (BCB) and
solenoid operated controllable circuit breakers.
PRC Expansion Panelboards (PRCEP) are designed to
directly connect to PRC-E Series Master panelboards via
controller SLAN communications. PRCEP includes Breaker
Control Bus (BCB) and solenoid operated controllable
circuit breaker. PRC-E Series systems are scalable using
both Master and Expansion panelboards to provide the
right amount of control with reduced installed cost. Each
PRC-E Master intelligent panelboard is capable of controlling
three additional, fully loaded PRCEP panelboards. A
powered PRCEP (PRCEPP) panelboard is also available for
applications where a PRCEP is greater than 150 feet away
from the PRC-E Series controller. The PRCEPP panelboard
is a PRC Expansion Panelboard with an integrated power
supply to power the BCBs in the PRCEPP panelboard and
any additional PRCEP panelboards within 150 feet. The
SLAN daisy-chained from the PRC-E Series Master would
continue to each PRCEPP/PRCEP panelboard.
