FAQs

The MPSC253WEAXXSW is a three-pole, drawout vertical mounting device designed for standard Magnum frame compatibility. Ensure suitable panel space for its 14.6 in depth, 16.8 in height, and 16.2 in width, and verify alignment with existing bus and mounting rails. Consider upgrading from non-PXR configurations by planning for Power Xpert Release trip units if diagnostics or remote control are needed.
Yes. Although this model ships without a trip unit, it belongs to the Magnum PXR family and is compatible with Power Xpert Release trip units. This enables advanced protection logic, remote monitoring, and easier aftermarket upgrades, minimizing total cost of ownership while extending panel protection capabilities.
This breaker excels in large distribution panels, motor control centers, and high-demand feeders within industrial automation, data centers, and process industries. Its 2500 A rating and 100 kA short-circuit capacity support high fault-current environments, while the drawout design simplifies maintenance during uptime-critical operations.
The unit is UL Listed, ANSI certified, and CE Marked, with additional validation from KEMA and Lloyd's Register. It also carries NEMA compliance and regional approvals such as CSA and ABS certifications, ensuring global applicability and reducing compliance risk for multinational deployments.
Maintenance benefits come from Magnum renewal parts and accessories designed for PXR-compatible devices. Regular inspection of contact wear, mounting integrity, and trip-unit upgrades (via Power Xpert Release) can extend life and improve reliability. Joining a renewal program helps maintain performance while minimizing downtime and spare inventory costs.
