Drawout vertical mounting with motorized racking provides safe, rapid maintenance and straightforward replacement in live or de-energized configurations. This reduces downtime and labor costs while improving worker safety during rack-and-unrack operations in large switchgear and process facilities. The design is compatible with Magnum PXR trip units and Power Xpert Protection Manager, enabling seamless integration into an existing protection architecture. Interruption rating of 85 kAIC and rated uninterrupted current of 4000 A give robust protection for high-demand feeders and critical loads. This enables precise overload and short-circuit protection in data centers, oil and gas facilities, and heavy manufacturing lines, reducing unplanned outages and extending equipment life. The module's rugged construction supports reliable performance in harsh environments while meeting rigorous industry standards. PXR20 LSI trip unit delivers advanced protection coordination, with settings scalable to evolving system demands. When paired with Power Xpert Release and Protection Manager, it supports real-time monitoring, fault logging, and coordinated trips across multiple breakers. This leads to faster fault isolation and minimized downstream impact. Double standard frame and three-pole configuration ensure compatibility with existing Magnum PXR assemblies and spare parts, simplifying retrofits and maintenance scheduling. The drawout, vertical orientation combined with motorized racking reduces the risk of human error during servicing and aligns with common panel-building practices. Compliances include UL Listed, CE Marked, NEMA Compliant, ANSI, CSA, DNV GL, Lloyd's Register, ABS, and SABA Listed, supporting global installations and supplier qualification processes. These certifications help streamline procurement, audits, and warranty coverage while ensuring a consistent safety baseline across regions.

FAQs

The MPS8403MEAXX2A is designed for compatibility with Magnum PXR trip units and supports the drawout vertical mounting with motorized racking. This enables safe, rapid rack changes and straightforward retrofits in existing Magnum installations. When upgrading, verify frame type (double standard) and pole count (three-pole) to ensure seamless integration with current protection architecture and Power Xpert Protection Manager.
Iu of 4000 A means the breaker is rated to carry continuous load up to 4000 A without tripping due to overcurrent. An 85 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the breaker can interrupt faults up to 85 kA at the point of installation. Together, these specifications support robust protection for high-demand feeders in large switchgear, data centers, and heavy industrial facilities with improved fault isolation.
Yes. With three poles, a double-standard frame, and PXR20 LSI protection, the unit is well-suited for large switchgear, data centers, and process/manufacturing environments. Its high interrupt rating and motorized racking enable reliable protection coordination, faster maintenance, and reduced downtime—critical factors for uptime-sensitive facilities.
The MPS8403MEAXX2A carries UL Listed and CE Marked certifications, plus multiple third-party approvals (ANSI, CSA, DNV GL, Lloyd's Register, ABS, SABA Listed). These certifications support global procurement, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness, reducing risk when deploying across multinational sites.
By leveraging motorized racking, a robust 85 kAIC interrupt rating, and PXR20 LSI trip units integrated with Power Xpert Protection Manager, you gain faster maintenance, improved fault isolation, and better protection coordination. This translates to lower downtime, reduced labor costs, and improved asset lifecycle management across multi-bay installations.
