Feature: Rated uninterrupted current (Iu) of 1600 A with an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC. This combination provides robust protection for high-demand feeders and motor-start surges, translating to fewer nuisance trips and shorter downtime in manufacturing lines. It is ideal for critical processes where uptime is non-negotiable, such as packaging, metals, or chemical processing. Feature: Three-pole, standard Magnum frame with fixed horizontal mounting. This design simplifies panel integration, supports precise busbar alignment, and reduces commissioning time. It is well suited for retrofit projects and new builds where space is at a premium. Feature: No trip unit included, designed for the Magnum PXR ecosystem. This configuration offers a cost-effective baseline while preserving an upgrade path to advanced protection when needed. It enables phased deployment of trip units across projects without changing the base hardware. Feature: Broad certifications and compliance (UL Listed, CE Marked, CSA Certified; plus KEMA, Lloyd's Register, ANSI, ABS). This certification set supports global procurement and reduces compliance risk across regions. It matters for multinational projects in sectors such as oil and gas, data centers, and manufacturing. Feature: Compact footprint and substantial weight (14.6 in L, 16.8 in H, 16.2 in W, 118 lb). This predictable envelope supports careful enclosure planning and robust mechanical protection, enabling mounting in tight spaces while maintaining structural integrity. Ideal for panel design in control rooms and distributed power architectures. Feature: Availability of renewal parts and accessories for Magnum breakers and compatibility with Power Xpert management tools. This extends lifecycle, reduces spare-stock costs, and supports proactive maintenance. Beneficial for facilities with long-term protection programs seeking reliable spares and diagnostic support.
