Four-pole, standard-frame design with drawout vertical mounting enables safe, quick maintenance and precise fault isolation in crowded switchgear cabinets. This physical configuration reduces panel crowding issues and supports fast breaker replacement during routine testing or fault clearing. Ideal for new installations or panel retrofits in manufacturing lines, data centers, and process facilities, it minimizes downtime during maintenance windows. 1600 A rated uninterrupted current (Iu) and a 100 kAIC interrupt rating give the unit capability to withstand substantial fault currents without compromising selection or safety. This translates to fewer nuisance trips and shorter outage durations on feeders feeding large motors or heavy loads in industrial settings. Equipped with the Power Xpert Release PXR20 LSI trip unit, the breaker delivers advanced protection coordination and arc-energy management. The LSI logic improves selectivity across downstream devices and supports zone selective interlocking strategies, reducing collateral damage during faults and accelerating fault clearance. Compatibility with the Magnum PXR family ensures straightforward upgrades and access to renewal parts and accessories for lifecycle management. The 14.6 in depth, 16.8 in height, and 21.2 in width footprint plus a 160 lb weight help design engineers plan enclosure space and mounting clearances. The standard four-pole frame suits both new builds and retrofit projects, while the drawout mechanism simplifies testing and maintenance. Compliance with UL, CE, NEMA, and additional certifications reduces regulatory risk and eases global procurement, supporting safer operations across facilities.

FAQs

Yes. The MPSC164WEAXX2A uses a standard Magnum four-pole frame with drawout vertical mounting, designed to drop into compatible low voltage switchgear and switchboards. Its 14.6 in depth, 16.8 in height, and 21.2 in width provide predictable enclosure fit and straightforward retrofits. For upgrades, the PXR20 LSI trip unit remains modular, allowing seamless replacement or upgrade without replacing the entire breaker.
Plan for a rated uninterrupted current (Iu) of 1600 A and an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC. The four-pole design supports high fault-current conditions, while the PXR20 LSI trip unit enables selective coordination and arc-energy management. This combination reduces downtime, enables safer switching, and improves protection out in large motors, feeders, and critical loads.
The MPSC164WEAXX2A is UL Listed, CE Marked, and NEMA Compliant, with additional certifications including KEMA Certified, Lloyd's Register Certified, ANSI, CSA, DNV GL, and ABS. This broad certification portfolio supports compliance across regions, simplifies procurement for multinational sites, and mitigates regulatory risk in regulated industries.
Eaton provides renewal parts and accessories for Magnum PXR breakers, enabling lifecycle management and long-term availability. This supports spare parts planning, routine maintenance, and timely upgrades to newer PXR trip units without replacing the entire breaker. Refer to the Magnum renewal parts documentation for part numbers, compatibility, and service life guidance.
Choosing the MPSC164WEAXX2A delivers higher uptime due to robust 100 kAIC interrupt capability and precise selectivity from the PXR20 LSI trip unit. The drawout design reduces maintenance downtime, while global certifications streamline procurement and compliance. In practice, customers see safer operation, faster fault clearance, and lower total cost of ownership during the equipment lifecycle.
