Feature → Business Impact → Application: The three-pole Magnum frame consolidates protection for 3‑phase loads, delivering consistent arc interrupt performance and simplified wiring in large motors and process lines. This structure reduces panel footprint and speeds assembly, enabling safer fault isolation without sacrificing reliability. Use in motor drives, pumps, and conveyors in industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The PXR25 LSI ARMS trip unit delivers selective protection and arc-energy management, lowering the risk of nuisance trips while maintaining safety margins. In practice, technicians can tune coordination curves for critical feeder sets and achieve smoother maintenance windows in assembly lines and packaging plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With 1600 A Iu and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating, the MPSC163VEAXX2Q handles high fault currents and heavy startup surges. This translates to fewer upstream breakers, reduced wiring modifications, and improved uptime in mega-load applications such as metal fabrication, data centers, and large HVAC systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fixed vertical mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations by ensuring stable alignment and straightforward phasing, which reduces field errors during commissioning. The robust frame supports compact cabinet layouts while maintaining clearances essential for service access and safe operation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit carries UL Listed, CE Marked, and KEMA Certified approvals, easing regulatory compliance and expediting project approvals across North America and Europe. Additional certifications such as CSA, ANSI, and DNV GL broaden market access for multinational rollouts in oil & gas, mining, and process industries. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Magnum PXR platform integrates with Power Xpert Protection Manager for monitoring, firmware updates, and protection optimization. This compatibility reduces maintenance overhead, enables remote diagnostics, and supports reliable lifecycle management for critical infrastructure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Physical dimensions (14.6 in depth, 16.2 in width, 16.8 in height) and 118 lb weight inform cabinet design and mounting clearances, supporting accurate space planning in new builds and retrofit projects without compromising accessibility or cooling performance.
