High current rating and short-circuit protection: The PDC53K1600D3YM is a three-pole device rated for 1600 A with a 50 kA short-circuit rating at 415 V. This capability dramatically reduces fault energy exposure, protecting conductors, feeders, and motors from damage and helping you meet critical reliability targets. In industrial power distribution and motor control centers, faster fault clearing translates into measurable uptime gains. Diagnostics and communications: Modbus RTU, CAM Link, and integrated ZSI & Relays enable remote health monitoring and faster fault isolation. This supports predictive maintenance programs, reduces unnecessary site visits, and improves downtime planning by delivering actionable data to control rooms and maintenance teams. Conductor extensions and metric compatibility: The unit supports metric conductor extensions and offers compatibility with LSIG signaling options, easing field wiring and panel layout. Its compact footprint (470 mm depth, 274 mm height, 305 mm width) facilitates efficient panel stacking, while maintaining robust protection for large-load feeders. Arc flash safety and protection coordination: Power Defense products emphasize arc flash safety and protective coordination, helping facilities meet safety targets and regulatory expectations. Always confirm region-specific CE/IP/SIL approvals for your installation to ensure full compliance. Installation efficiency and total cost of ownership: The combination of a high-current rating, integrated relays, and remote diagnostics reduces maintenance labor, extends service life, and lowers total cost of ownership over the life of the switchgear and MCCs.

FAQs

Yes. The PDC53K1600D3YM is designed for 415 V three-phase systems and three-pole installation. Its 1600 A rating and 50 kA short-circuit capability provide robust protection for high-current feeders, making it suitable for large panels, MCCs, and critical automation circuits.
This device is a three-pole model rated at 1600 A with a 50 kA short-circuit rating at 415 V. These ratings enable rapid interruption of high fault currents, reducing conductor damage, minimizing arc energy exposure, and supporting safe commissioning and maintenance of heavy-duty switchgear and motor control centers.
Ideal for industrial power distribution panels, motor control centers, and process automation cabinets, the MCCB provides reliable overcurrent protection for high-load feeders, enabling safe operation of large motors, pumps, and critical automated lines in manufacturing and facilities environments.
Regional approvals vary; the Power Defense family is generally aligned with IEC-based standards and IEC/CCC frameworks. For your site, verify CE marking, IP rating, SIL considerations, and any local regulatory requirements with the supplier to ensure full compliance before deployment.
The unit includes Modbus RTU communication, CAM Link, and ZSI/Relays for remote diagnostics and coordinated protection. This enables predictive maintenance, reduces field service visits, shortens fault diagnosis times, and lowers total cost of ownership across the lifecycle of panels and motor drives.
