FAQs
For installation, ensure proper panel clearance and mounting space to accommodate the 629 mm length and 387 mm width. Use the rear terminals for simplified wiring runs and plan for Modbus RTU communication wiring to the trip unit. Verify enclosure rating and provide adequate heat dissipation around the device to maintain performance.
The unit features a 1600A rating with a 50kA interrupt capacity at 415V, three-pole configuration, and Frame 5 construction. This combination supports reliable interruption of high fault currents, minimizing conductor damage and equipment downtime in demanding applications such as large motors and process lines.
Modbus RTU via the PXR20D LSI enables remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and coordinated tripping with SCADA or PLCs. This improves visibility into protective events, supports predictive maintenance, and reduces mean time to repair by accelerating fault isolation in automated facilities.
To ensure compliance, request the formal certification documentation from Eaton and cross-check with your internal procurement and regulatory teams before final acceptance.
Expected ROI stems from enhanced protection reducing unplanned downtime, faster commissioning via rear-terminal wiring, and improved visibility through Modbus RTU integration. The device’s high interrupt rating supports larger loads with fewer protection events, contributing to lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life over the system’s lifetime.
