The E2R316WS29 uses a 3-pole design to protect three-phase power, delivering balanced protection for large mining drives and conveyors, which directly reduces unexpected downtime and equipment wear. Its 1600 A frame rating enables protection for high-current mining circuits without oversizing panels, improving space utilization in control rooms and on switchgear shelves. With a 600 V maximum voltage rating and thermal-magnetic trip (LSI 3200-14400), it delivers fast, predictable interruption under fault conditions, preventing arc-flash risks and downstream damage. The 110-240 VAC shunt trip offers remote disconnection for safety interlocks and emergency shutoff procedures, enhancing site safety and compliance. The unit’s 19 x 20 x 20 inch footprint and 125 lb weight support sturdy, vibration-tolerant installation in rugged environments, while UL Listed and CSA Certified branding eases procurement and audits. Its specialty mining classification ensures compatibility with dedicated mining protection schemes and Eaton accessory ecosystems, enabling scalable, reliable protection across large installations.

FAQs
The E2R316WS29 is designed for mining medium-current, three-phase power distribution applications, including conveyors, crushers, and drive systems. Its 3P configuration and 600 V rating support robust protection in hazardous environments, while the shunt trip option enables remote safety control for interlocked or emergency shutdown scenarios.
Key specs include 3 poles, 1600 A frame rating, 600 V maximum operating voltage, thermal-magnetic trip (LSI 3200-14400), and 110-240 VAC shunt trip. These features translate to reliable fault interruption, precise overload protection, and flexible remote signaling for safer, more efficient electrical distribution in mining facilities.
The shunt trip allows remote disconnection of the breaker, enabling automated or manually initiated shutdowns during safety interlocks or abnormal conditions. This reduces exposure to energized equipment and accelerates response times in emergency scenarios, which is critical on highly automated mining sites.
Yes. It is UL Listed and CSA Certified, assuring compliance with widely recognized safety and performance standards. These certifications support regulatory acceptance for mining installations and simplify documentation for audits and safety reviews.
The unit’s 19 x 20 x 20 in footprint and 125 lb weight suit stable, vibration-prone installations in control rooms or switchgear racks. Compatibility with Eaton accessories simplifies expansion and maintenance, reducing downtime during servicing and contributing to longer asset life and lower total cost of ownership in mining operations.
