FAQs
The PDC53K1600D4MM is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker rated at 1600A with a 50kA interrupting capacity at 415V. It serves as the main protection device for industrial power panels and automation cabinets, isolating faults quickly to protect downstream equipment. It also supports integrated signaling via ARMS LSI and Modbus RTU for remote monitoring and control, reducing wiring complexity in large installations.
The PDC53K1600D4MM includes built-in ARMS LSI relays and Modbus RTU communication, enabling remote status monitoring, fault signaling, and control actions without adding extensive field wiring. This allows integration with plant SCADA or MES systems, real-time fault diagnostics, and event logging, which shortens mean time to repair and improves overall system visibility.
Yes. This model is a Power Defense MCCB designed for Frame 5 configurations and three-pole installations. Its dimensions and mounting approach align with Eaton’s Power Defense line, making retrofit and new-panel projects straightforward. When integrating into an existing enclosure, verify panel depth (470 mm), height (274 mm), and width (305 mm) to ensure proper fit and thermal management.
Key installation considerations include its 470 mm depth, 274 mm height, and 305 mm width, along with a weight of approximately 29.9 kg, which impacts handling and mounting hardware. The unit supports metric conductor extensions for flexible terminations and should be wired per manufacturer guidelines. Ensure adequate clearance for servicing and verify compatibility with the control panel’s busbar and relay infrastructure.
The product references IEC/CCC compliance for international usage, with regional certifications such as CE or IP ratings typically available on request or via Eaton’s regional channels. Since compliance can vary by country, contact Eaton for an up-to-date certificate package and confirmation of required certifications before purchasing for a specific market.
