Eaton PDC53K1600D4DM Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 50kA/415V
Part Number: PDC53K1600D4DM
Quick Summary
The Eaton PDC53K1600D4DM molded case circuit breaker is designed to protect power distribution systems with high reliability and clear visibility into fault conditions. This 3-pole unit supports up to 1600A and a 50kA short-circuit rating at 415V, making it suitable for large industrial panels and critical infrastructure. If you're migrating to modular protection with remote signaling, this MCCB's ARMS LSI, Modbus RTU, CAM Link and relay options streamline integration and diagnostics. While installation data should be verified with Eaton, the device offers metric conductor extensions for flexible wiring and straightforward panel retrofits. For global deployments, verify CE, UL/CSA and IP ratings per the datasheet to ensure full compliance in your region. Business value spans reduced downtime, improved visibility, and easier maintenance.

FAQs
The PDC53K1600D4DM is a 3-pole, Frame 5 molded case circuit breaker designed for large panels. It supports metric conductor extensions for flexible wiring and requires proper mounting alignment with compatible Power Defense frames. For retrofit projects, consult Eaton’s installation guides and the Power Defense catalog to verify mounting dimensions, torque specifications, and wiring terminations before commissioning.
Key ratings include a 1600A current rating and a 50kA short-circuit withstand at 415V for a three-pole configuration. The unit provides protective interruption for three-phase systems and offers Modbus RTU communication with CAM Link and relay options for enhanced monitoring and control within SCADA/PLC networks.
Yes. Its 1600A capacity and 50kA interrupt rating suit demanding industrial panels and critical power distribution scenarios. The included Modbus RTU and CAM Link support remote monitoring, signaling, and integration with building management systems, which is especially valuable for data centers and high-availability manufacturing environments.
Official certifications should be confirmed with Eaton; the product data indicates 'Compliances: Contact Manufacturer'. For global deployments, verify CE marking, UL/CSA listings, and IP protection levels in the official Eaton datasheet and regional approvals before purchasing or installation.
The combination of ARMS LSI remote signaling, 3-pole protection, and modular communication reduces downtime by improving fault diagnosis and response times. The ability to wire with metric extensions simplifies upgrades, while the robust Frame 5 design supports longer service life and lower lifecycle costs in high-demand environments.
