Drawout vertical with motorized racking mounting enables safe, fast maintenance and simplifies replacements in crowded switchgear. The motorized rack reduces manual handling and minimizes exposure to live components, delivering a measurable decrease in downtime and maintenance labor costs. Applications include large switchgear sections and distributed motor control centers where frequent service is needed. The PXR20 LSIAM trip unit provides adjustable protections, including long-time, short-time, and instantaneous elements with advanced sequencing, enabling selective coordination across feeders. This improves protection accuracy and reduces nuisance trips in complex motor networks. With a 1600 A continuous rating and 100 kA short-circuit capability, the breaker supports heavy feeders and large motor loads without compromising reliability, reducing unplanned outages in critical lines such as cooling, extrusion, and processing. Certifications including UL Listed, CSA Certified, CE Marked, and additional approvals from KEMA, Lloyd's Register, ANSI, ABS, and DNV GL simplify global procurement and regulatory alignment. The three-pole design in a standard frame provides balanced protection for 3-phase systems and eases retrofits into existing Magnum installations, lowering replacement costs and project risk. Compatibility with Power Xpert Protection Manager enables centralized protection management, event logging, and easier commissioning across multi-site operations, improving overall maintenance planning and asset health insights.
