I-Line Enable Modules

I-Line Enable Modules are a range of I-Line stack-mounted modular units containing one or more devices to perform a function in a panelboard (or switchboard). With the footprint of an L-Frame PowerPacT™ Circuit Breaker, all I-Line Enable Modules mount inside of a standard I-Line Panelboard stack to provide a compact, space saving installation.

The built-in devices are suited for offering functionalities such as monitoring, metering, communication, or protection features. Also, all units come with a main power Fused Disconnect Switch to switch off main power and to provide short circuit protection for the unit. Depending on the selected functionality some versions deliver a 24 Vdc output for the Trip Unit of the related or controlled circuit breaker. In some units such as Meters, U-PaS and ERMS front Ethernet access via local RJ45 Connector is provided for initial set-up or monitoring.

Narrow side I-Line Enable Modules can only be installed on the narrow side of HCJ, HCP, and HCR-U I-Line panelboards, as well as switchboard QED2 I-Line distribution sections. Wide side I-Line Enable Modules can be installed on the wide side of HCP, HCPSU, HCR-U I-Line panelboards, as well as switchboard QED2 I-Line distribution sections. I-Line Enable Module placement in the panelboard is typically directly above the related MAIN or feeder circuit breaker.

For the fullest description and technical characteristics of the modular units, refer to
I-Line Enable Module Instruction Bulletin JYT97577.

The I-Line Enable Modules can be installed in Square D I-Line factory assembled equipment or ordered individually for field installations such as Retrofit or ready-to-install (RTI). For more information refer to handout (2700HO1501) or I-Line Enable Module Instruction Bulletin (JYT97577).

Modular design

• Space-saving design significantly reduces carbon footprint and occupies the same space as a PowerPacT L-Frame Circuit Breaker onto the I-Line stack, eliminating the need for an I-Line panelboard box extension.

• Easy to install; a screwdriver is all that’s needed to mount an I-Line Enable Module; mounts firmly onto the bus stack and fastens with captive retaining screws

• Minimizes the impact of project changes, allowing customers to add components to an I-Line Panelboard after shipment or for future upgrades.

• I-Line Enable Module are available in factory-assembled panelboards as well as RTI for new and retrofit applications

Reduced exposure

• On models with Ethernet communications, Ethernet front access makes checking gateway or circuit breaker meter values and maintenance details quick and easy, all without removing the panelboard deadfront.

• On meter models, branch level metering is integrated into the panelboard, no need to remove trim front to access meter points

Integration of value-added devices

• Easily integrate digital solutions without increasing equipment footprint

• Reduce retrofit installation costs with a quick install I-Line Enable Module meter options

• Each PowerPacT P-, R-Frame circuit breaker, in order to be communicated will require a NSX Cord and communication module BCM. Refer to IFM I-Line Enable Module Communication Schematic Diagram.

• H-, J-, L- Frame breakers will require the suffix EH or EL.

• Each PowerPacT P-, R-Frame circuit breaker to be used for communications will require the suffix E1.

• PowerPacT P-, R-Frame Circuit breakers require that the trip unit be powered externally when the breaker is in the “OFF” position. This may be accomplished by utilizing the external 24 Vdc power source provided by the IFM I-Line Enable Module. No other power source would be required. The U-PaS units do not include a 24 Vdc output.

• H-, J-, L-Frame circuit breakers are powered via the ULP Connections. No other external power supply sources are required for these breakers when utilizing any Communication I-Line Enable Module version (Wide Side or Narrow Side).

• When adding IFMs to the IFM I-Line Enable Module, count the number of communicating circuit breakers, “X+. For IFM I-Line Enable Modules, catalog numbers ICW*2*22M01, the additional number of IFMs would be X-1. Refer to Instruction Bulletin, JYT97577 for additional components required for each additional IFM.
