PowerPlus D2L/EPL series panelboards provide
distributors, engineers, contractors, and end-users
with the ideal solution for the protection of lighting
and heat tracing circuits. Tailored toward simplicity
of installation, ease of maintenance, nearly infinite
configurations for numerous applications, and reliable
peace-of-mind performance, this offering is designed
and manufactured as the industry's safest and most
dependable panelboard for hazardous area locations.
EPLCA
PowerPlus™ Panelboards
This corrosion-resistant Type 4X
breather and drain comes standard
with all D2L/EPL panelboards. This
permits all models to maintain their
Type 4 (Type 4X with suffix S752)
rating while utilizing a breather/
drain solution to drain internal condensation while protecting against
ingress of rain and hose water.
D2L/EPL panels come
standard with a high-quality
silver-plated copper buss
system. This provides highefficiency current flow
between the main feed
and branch breakers.
D2L/EPL panels are
available with GFI and/or
EPD breakers. This 21position electrical test
circuit allows for testing of
GFI, EPD, or a combination
of both in one panel.
Each branch and main
breaker handle is provided
with lockout/tagout capability,
which provides safety and
complies with OSHA lockout/
tagout requirements. This
allows for locking in the ON
or OFF position for standard
maintenance checks.
Spring-loaded, quick-release, captive stainlesssteel cover bolts come standard. This design
prevents damage to the flat joint flame path
when opening and closing the cover while providing visual identification of bolt engagement.
D2L/EPL panels are available
with an optional hinged stainlesssteel ice shield. This ice shield
solution prevents ice and snow
build-up on breaker handles to
allow for proper handle function
in cold/wet climate applications.
(cut away photo)
Stainless-steel hinges are engineered to
provide maximum stability and allow the
cover to swing fully open. This avoids
misalignment of cover to the body of the
enclosure and prevents the cover from
obstructing interior access.

EPLCN
Integrated steel lifting eye is mounted
on the top side of each D2L/EPL panel.
This provides a stable lifting position
to ensure ease of mounting during the
installation process.
D2L/EPL cast enclosures are manufactured
with an external flange design. This design
allows for a wide unobstructed cover opening
and provides a completely accessible interior
for ease of maintenance and wiring.
Superior self-aligning breaker operators
are designed for both field and factory
installation. This patent-pending design
guarantees proper handle alignment when
closing the cover.
All panels with terminal housings
are factory sealed* and fully wired
for maximum available circuits.
This allows D2L/EPL models the
ability to have additional breakers
field installed while maintaining
their factory seal.
All terminal blocks
come fully wired with
each contact numbered
for easy connecting of
branch entries.
Heavy-guage 316L stainlesssteel terminal housings (D2LBS
and D2LCS series) are supplied
with three removable gland
plates to be used with Myers®
hubs. This design allows for
the flexibility of factory- or fielddrilled openings for hubs.
D2LBS (INVERTED)
D2L series lighting and heat
tracing panelboards offer an
industrial-grade 316L stainlesssteel terminal housing as standard.
This design offers an increased
internal volume with a removable
front cover for easy access during
field installation and maintenance.
A cast aluminum terminal housing
is standard on EPL panels and
available on D2L panels.
Stainless-steel terminal housings
offer a high-integrity gasket,
providing a watertight seal to meet
enclosure Type 4/CSA ENC. 4/
IP65 requirements. This provides
superior protection of enclosed
wiring against water and corrosion.
Cast aluminum enclosures are
also gasketed providing a NEMA 4
watertight seal.
*Conduit entries 2" or larger in
Class I, Div. 1 Group B must be
sealed within 18" of enclosure.

• Second # is number of poles (start with three-pole breakers)
NOTE: Single-phase panelboards can have single- or two-pole
breakers. Three-phase panelboards can have single-, two- or
three-pole breakers.
• Third # is the ampere rating needed (start with highest
ampere rating)
• Insert ‘‘G’’ for GFI, ‘‘E’’ for EPD or ‘‘H’’ for HID type breakers,
if desired
3. For additional circuit breakers repeat step 2. If there are more
three-pole breakers with different amp ratings, continue with
three-pole designations. Otherwise continue with two-pole circuit
breakers, and then single-pole breakers.
4. To add a main breaker, insert a dash (-), the number of poles
(2 or 3), an ‘‘M’’ to indicate main breaker, then indicate the amp
rating. (See ‘‘electrical ratings’’ for trip ratings available.) Threephase panelboards can only have a three-pole main breaker. If no
main breaker is specified, the panelboard will have main lugs. No
suffix needed in catalog number for main lug only.
Lighting panelboards are available with three 100 amp
branch spaces maximum with balance up to 50 amps. For
future spaces, to provide for operating mechanism without
breaker write 00 (Example: One 3-pole mechanism
without breaker: 01300).
Unused breaker positions without designations will be
blank and plugged, complete panel will be prewired for
future breaker installations.
