Magnum PXR20 LSIG trip unit provides adjustable electronic protection and selectivity. This enables precise coordination with upstream devices, reducing unnecessary outages and limiting arc energy exposure. In practice, it supports motor feeders and distribution panels where selective coordination is critical for uptime and safety. High interrupt capacity sits at 100 kA with a 1600 A frame, enabling reliable fault interruption on heavy feeders common in manufacturing lines. This means fewer long outages and simpler coordination with upstream protection, reducing escalation and repair costs. Three-pole, fixed vertical mounting design simplifies installation, improves space utilization, and speeds panel integration for new builds or retrofits. The device carries UL Listed, CE Marked, and multiple regional certifications, mitigating regulatory risk for global deployments and facilitating fast approvals. Compatibility with Magnum ecosystem and Power Xpert Release trip units ensures upgrade paths and seamless protection management, while a compact footprint supports panel planning and standardization across facilities. With weights around 118 lb and dimensions suitable for standard frames, it delivers robust protection without excessive enclosure expansion, aiding maintenance planning and spare-part strategy.

FAQs

The MPSC163VEAXX2C is designed for Magnum standard-frame, three-pole protection with a fixed vertical mounting orientation. It integrates smoothly into distribution panels, motor control centers (MCCs), and switchgear that use Magnum PXR manifests. For best results, reference Eaton installation guides and confirm enclosure space, mounting clearance, and bus bar alignment before retrofit or new-panel builds.
This model uses a PXR20 LSIG trip unit with a 1600 A current rating and a 100 kA short-circuit interrupt capacity. It is configured as a three-pole, standard-frame breaker. The PXR family supports protection optimization, coordinate with upstream devices, and can be upgraded to Power Xpert Protection Manager features where available.
Yes. The 1600 A frame with 100 kA interrupt capacity is well-suited for large feeders and many motor control center applications. Its three-pole design supports motor protection schemes, while the fixed vertical mounting and compatibility with PXR trip units help achieve selective coordination, minimizing nuisance trips and improving uptime in MCCs and panelboards.
The MPSC163VEAXX2C is UL Listed, CE Marked, and NEMA compliant, with additional certifications including ANSI, CSA, KEMA, Lloyd’s Register, ABS, and DNV GL. This broad certification footprint supports global deployment, regulatory compliance, and safer installation across diverse industrial environments.
Leverage Power Xpert Release trip units for enhanced protection management and easier diagnostics. Maintain standard spares for the Magnum series and refer to Eaton’s renewal parts documentation for lifecycle planning. Zone selective interlocking and selective coordination guidance can further reduce downtime; consult Eaton’s application papers and manuals for upgrade paths and best-practice installation steps.
