FAQs

When installing the MPS8503WEAXX2C, plan for a drawout vertical mounting arrangement to simplify replacement and maintenance. Ensure panel space accommodates its 16.3 in depth x 16.8 in height x 31.1 in width footprint and confirm compatibility with three-pole, double-frame configurations. Verify clearance and wiring access per applicable codes to optimize protection performance and reduce install time.
The PXR20 LSIG trip unit provides adjustable protective settings with Least Significant Integral Gain logic, enabling precise overcurrent and short-circuit protection. This supports selective coordination across feeders, minimizes unnecessary trips, and improves reliability in motor and process circuits. For field use, LSIG’s algorithms help reduce nuisance trips while maintaining fast fault clearance.
Yes. With a 5000 A ABCABC interrupt rating and the PXR20 LSIG trip unit, this Magnum breaker is designed for selective coordination in multi-circuit power distribution. Properly tuned, it can coordinate with upstream devices to isolate faults with minimal impact on non-faulted loads, enhancing uptime in manufacturing lines and critical processes.
The product carries UL Listed, CSA Certified, and CE Marked certifications, along with additional approvals (KEMA, Lloyd’s Register, ANSI, DNV GL, ABS). This broad certification portfolio supports regulatory compliance for global deployments, supplier qualification, and risk mitigation in cross-border industrial installations.
Maintenance focuses on periodic inspection of drawout contacts, trip unit calibration, and module replacement as part of protection manager workflows. ROI is driven by reduced downtime from selective coordination, faster field replacement due to vertical drawout mounting, and extended device life from robust interrupt ratings. Leveraging Power Xpert tools can further optimize maintenance planning and asset performance.
