FAQs

The MPSC164MEAXX2Q uses a drawout vertical mounting tailored for standard Magnum PXR frames and is compatible with low-voltage switchgear and MCCs that accept Magnum PXR style breakers. Ensure frame size, rail type, busbar spacing, and rating align with 1600 A and 100 kA specifications. Always consult Eaton installation manuals for exact accessory compatibility.
The MPSC164MEAXX2Q provides a 1600 A continuous current rating and a 100 kA short-circuit interrupting rating. This combination supports protection of high-demand feeders and large motor loads, enabling reliable fault interruption while sustaining system integrity under heavy fault conditions. Ensure coordination with upstream protections to avoid unnecessary tripping during normal transient events.
Yes. The PXR25 LSIAM trip unit is designed to deliver selective coordination for motor feeders, enabling upstream devices to clear faults without compromising critical loads. This minimizes downtime and arc-flash exposure, helps meet NFPA 70E requirements, and allows for tailored protection curves and settings to match motor inrush and load profiles.
The MPSC164MEAXX2Q carries UL Listed and CE Marked certification, with CSA certification and ANSI/KEMA attestations as part of its global compliance package. These marks support international product acceptance, supplier audits, and regulatory alignment across diverse markets. Verify local regulatory requirements and ensure documentation is up to date for each installation.
Motorized racking enables safe, controlled insertion and withdrawal of the breaker without manual handling, reducing maintenance time and exposure to hazards. It supports faster replacements, easier fault isolation, and better maintenance planning in continuous-operation facilities. This feature also facilitates alignment with predictive maintenance programs and remote monitoring workflows via Power Xpert tools.
