1IntroductionPRC-E Series Instruction Manual MN014003EN August 2015 www.eaton.comIntroductionPow-R-Command system descriptionPow-R-Command is an intelligent lighting and loadmanagement system that integrates branch circuitprotection, control, and metering into a single panelboardenclosure. The integrated components simplify the electricaldistribution and control systems design, eliminatingseparate equipment enclosures and associated wiring.Other benefits include reducing equipment wall space,installation labor, and total installed cost. PRC is designed tomeet or exceed ASHRAE, IECC, and LEEDT requirements.Pow-R-Command panelboards use Eaton Pow-R-Line 1aand 2a lighting panelboard platforms to mount PRC-ESeries electronics and solenoid operated controllable circuitbreakers. Panelboard mains include 100 A to 400 A inmain lug and main circuit breaker configurations. Availablevoltages include 120/240, 208Y/120, and 480Y/277,single-phase and three-phase. Panelboard options includecontrollable and non-controllable circuit breakers, 200%neutral, metering and surge protection devices (SPD).Pow-R-Command intelligent panelboards are assembled inMaster and Expansion configurations. PRC-E Series Masterpanelboards are designed for standalone and networkedsystems. PRC components include controller with low-voltage power supply, Breaker Control Bus (BCB) andsolenoid operated controllable circuit breakers.PRC Expansion Panelboards (PRCEP) are designed todirectly connect to PRC-E Series Master panelboards viacontroller SLAN communications. PRCEP includes BreakerControl Bus (BCB) and solenoid operated controllablecircuit breaker. PRC-E Series systems are scalable usingboth Master and Expansion panelboards to provide theright amount of control with reduced installed cost. EachPRC-E Master intelligent panelboard is capable of controllingthree additional, fully loaded PRCEP panelboards. Apowered PRCEP (PRCEPP) panelboard is also available forapplications where a PRCEP is greater than 150 feet awayfrom the PRC-E Series controller. The PRCEPP panelboardis a PRC Expansion Panelboard with an integrated powersupply to power the BCBs in the PRCEPP panelboard andany additional PRCEP panelboards within 150 feet. TheSLAN daisy-chained from the PRC-E Series Master wouldcontinue to each PRCEPP/PRCEP panelboard.Figure 1 Pow-R-Command Intelligent PanelboardComponentsFigure 2 Pow-R-Command Panelboard with ControllerConnected to Three PRCEP PanelboardsIntegrated PRC-E SeriesController andPower SupplyBoth Standard andControllable CircuitBreakers canbe InstalledSingle- and Multi-PoleControllable CircuitBreakers AvailableBreaker Control Bus (BCB)Provides Control andMonitoring of ControllableCircuit Breaker Status
