Tripp Lite by Eaton 120V Single Phase Whip with L5-20R for Breakered 3-Phase Distribution Cabinets

Experience reliable power distribution from a 120V single-phase whip engineered for use with breakered 3-phase distribution cabinets. The Tripp Lite by Eaton solution delivers a secure, easy-to-install connection from a 3-phase cabinet to critical equipment racks, combining rugged construction with engineering precision. This whip is designed to simplify data center or server room power infrastructure, ensuring steady performance for sensitive equipment while meeting rigorous electrical standards.

• Premium compatibility for breakered 3-phase cabinets: Specifically designed to connect from a 3-phase distribution rack to individual racks or cabinets, ensuring a clean, dependable power path from SUBB120 circuit breakers within SUDC208V42P configurations. This makes it an ideal choice for data centers, server rooms, and industrial electronics environments where sectionalized power distribution is essential.
• 120V single-phase operation with L5-20R outlet: The L5-20R receptacle provides a robust 20A, 125V connection, ideal for critical equipment racks that demand a stable, continuous supply. The single-phase design reduces complexity while delivering reliable performance for equipment that does not require a full 3-phase supply.
• Long, insulated whip with targeted jacket removal: The 10 ft (3.05 m) insulated length offers flexible routing through racks and cabinets, while 3 ft of the outer jacket is removed to facilitate straightforward hardwire connections to the SUBB120 circuit breaker. This design streamlines installation and reduces clutter in crowded data center spaces.
• Durable construction built for data center environments: The whip’s insulation and jacket materials are chosen to resist wear, heat, and abrasion, maintaining integrity in demanding environments. This resilience helps minimize downtime and maintenance requirements, protecting critical connections over time.
• Trusted brand with archival reliability: Tripp Lite by Eaton is renowned for durable power distribution products that meet industry standards and offer long-lasting performance. This whip integrates seamlessly with existing Eaton-distributed power infrastructure, providing a cohesive and scalable solution for growing rack environments.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 120V Single Phase Whip

• Plan the layout: Identify the route from the 3-phase distribution cabinet to the target equipment rack. Ensure clearance, ventilation, and cable management will not impede airflow or access to other components.
• Power down and verify: Before beginning any wiring work, power down the SUBB120 circuit breaker and verify there is no residual voltage on the installation path. Use appropriate lockout/tagout procedures as required by your facility’s safety policies.
• Prepare the hardwire connection: Access the SUBB120 circuit breaker area within the SUDC208V42P 3-phase distribution rack. Remove the necessary outer jacket for the designated 3 ft portion to enable a clean, secure hardwire connection. Ensure that the exposed conductors are properly terminated and shielded to prevent contact.
• Connect the whip: Attach the prepared hardwired end of the whip to the SUBB120 circuit breaker per the cabinet’s wiring diagrams and applicable electrical codes. Verify tight, clean connections and establish a secure strain-relief path to prevent movement or pulling on the conductors.
• Route to the L5-20R outlet: Route the 10 ft length toward the intended equipment rack, avoiding sharp bends, loops, or potential pinch points. Ensure the L5-20R receptacle end remains accessible for easy connection of your critical load devices. Recheck all connections for security and compliance with local electrical standards.
• Test and document: Restore power and perform a test run with the connected equipment. Confirm proper voltage at the L5-20R outlet, verify no abnormal warming, and monitor for any arcing or interference. Document the installation for facility records and future maintenance.
