High-current protection with 50 kA interrupting capability at 415 V delivers robust safeguarding for downstream equipment and critical loads. This capability reduces fault energy and minimizes collateral damage, translating to shorter downtime and lower maintenance costs in motor control centers and large panel boards. The three-pole Frame 5 design provides a compact yet durable solution, enabling tighter panel layouts and easier field wiring for high-current applications. Built-in Modbus RTU, CAM Link and relays enable seamless monitoring and control, supporting remote diagnostics, SCADA integration and data-driven maintenance, which lowers on-site service visits and improves overall efficiency. Conductor Extensions in metric form simplify wiring in modern enclosures, reducing installation time and improving connection reliability on new builds or upgrades. The availability of official catalogs and installation videos aids rapid commissioning, while the molded case construction offers dependable mechanical endurance for demanding environments. For panel builders, the unit’s dimensions—470 mm length, 274 mm height, and 305 mm width—alongside a weight of approximately 29.9 kg, help establish predictable mounting and safe operation in industrial spaces.

FAQs

Plan for a three-pole, Frame 5 MCCB installation with space for cooling and clearance. The unit measures 470 mm by 274 mm by 305 mm and weighs about 29.9 kg, which informs mounting hardware and enclosure size. Use Conductor Extensions-Metric to simplify wiring, and refer to available catalogs and videos to confirm correct mechanical mounting and wiring practices.
The device is rated for 1600 A with a 50 kA short-circuit interrupting capability at 415 V. It is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for high-current distribution, suitable for large panel boards and motor control centers in demanding industrial settings. Verify final ratings in the Eaton specification sheet before procurement.
Yes. The PDC53K1600D3DM includes Modbus RTU communication, CAM Link, and relay options, enabling integrated monitoring and control within SCADA systems. This compatibility supports remote diagnostics, fault signaling, and data logging, reducing manual checks and improving maintenance efficiency across automated networks.
Ideal for power distribution panels and motor control centers in manufacturing, process automation, and heavy industry. Its frame 5, 1600 A rating and 50 kA short-circuit capability make it suitable for high-demand feeders, while its modular monitoring interfaces support integrated control, safety interlocks, and remote visibility in complex electrical distributions.
Remote monitoring via Modbus RTU, CAM Link and relay integration reduces on-site maintenance visits and speeds fault isolation, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. The robust enclosure and high interrupting rating improve uptime by minimizing downtime during fault events, while readily available installation resources shorten commissioning time and support ongoing system reliability.
