FAQs
When planning installation, account for the 629 mm length and 387 mm width to ensure the breaker fits within the panel’s available depth. Rear terminals simplify wiring by reducing field terminations, but verify enclosure clearance and cable routing. The unit weighs about 34.9 kg, so proper lifting and support are essential during mounting.
Key specs include a 1600 A continuous current rating, 50 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V, three-pole configuration, and a Frame 5 design. It features Modbus RTU communication with PXR20D LSIG, ZSI, and integrated relays for signaling and control in automation systems.
Yes. The PDC53K1600D3WR is designed for high-current feeders and includes Modbus RTU via the PXR20D LSIG, enabling PLC communication and remote diagnostics. This supports centralized protection strategies, faster fault isolation, and enhanced visibility in process and manufacturing environments.
Certification details vary by region. Verify SIL readiness for safety-critical circuits, CE marking for European installations, and any local IP enclosure requirements. Eaton provides region-specific documentation; confirm exact certifications with Eaton for your project scope and location.
The breaker’s high interrupting capacity reduces fault-related outages, improving equipment uptime. Modbus RTU integration enables predictive maintenance through remote signaling, potentially lowering on-site labor costs. Rear-terminal design accelerates panel assembly, delivering faster project completion and a lower total cost of ownership over time.
