Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Magnum MPSC253WEAXX2C delivers a 2500 A current rating with a 100 kA interrupting capability, enabling safe handling of large feeders and heavy motors, reducing fuse and conductor stress and improving system reliability in manufacturing lines and process plants. Three-pole drawout vertical mounting simplifies installation, isolation, and maintenance, decreasing commissioning time and facilitating quicker panel swaps in retrofit projects and new builds. The standard PXR20 LSIG trip unit provides configurable protection logic with selective coordination, improving uptime by preventing unnecessary trips and enabling safer startup sequences in machine cells and packaging lines. Global certifications (UL Listed, CE Marked, NEMA Compliant, CSA, Lloyd’s Register) support cross-regional compliance and faster approval for multinational sites, while the compact footprint (14.6 in depth, 16.8 in height, 16.2 in width) and 118 lb weight ease integration into crowded switchgear footprints. Compatibility with Power Xpert Protection Manager enables remote monitoring and streamlined maintenance planning, delivering measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership. Industry context notes show that zone selective interlocking concepts, discussed in Eaton application papers, can further optimize protection schemes in complex motor control centers.
