The PXR20 LSI trip unit provides precise, programmable protection that enhances selectivity and reduces nuisance trips, directly lowering unplanned downtime and maintenance costs on critical motor and feeder circuits. In practice, this translates to improved uptime for continuous processes and safer fault clearance, especially in high-demand industrial environments where accurate protection coordination matters. The 2500 A rating and 100 kA interrupting capacity empower this breaker to handle large loads and fault currents, delivering reliable isolation for demanding applications such as machine centers, conveyors, and heavy motors, while meeting stringent safety standards. Drawout vertical mounting simplifies installation, testing, and maintenance, enabling faster replacements and less panel downtime during inspection or upgrades. The standard frame design ensures compatibility with existing switchgear and bus systems, minimizing panel modifications and saving engineering time. Built-in compliance with UL, CE, and NEMA requirements supports regulatory approvals across regions, reducing project risk and accelerating procurement. With Magnum PXR trip-unit technology and access to renewal parts and product aids, teams gain predictable lifecycle support and easier integration with Protection Manager software for remote monitoring and diagnostics. This combination yields measurable gains in efficiency, safety, and total cost of ownership for modern industrial facilities.
