FAQs
For proper installation, ensure the panel enclosure provides adequate space for a Frame 5, three-pole MCCB with dimensions of 629 mm (length) by 365 mm (height) by 387 mm (width). Verify rear-terminal wiring compatibility and secure mounting to a stable subpanel framework. Allow space for cooling and easy access to the trip unit for maintenance.
Key specs include a 1600A current rating, three-pole configuration, Frame 5 design, 50kA short-circuit rating at 415V, and Modbus RTU capable trip unit with ARMS LSI, enabling coordinated protection and remote diagnostics in industrial environments.
Yes, the PDC53K1600D4MR supports Modbus RTU communication. This enables remote monitoring, trip coordination, and integration with SCADA or PLC control systems, reducing fault diagnosis time and enabling proactive protection adjustments without现场现场 intervention.
Certifications for MCCBs vary by region and model. Typical considerations include CE marking and UL/CSA listings, with IP ratings depending on enclosure and application. Always consult the manufacturer’s specification sheet or contact Eaton to confirm current compliance for your installation site.
By delivering reliable 50kA fault protection, reducing nuisance trips, and enabling remote monitoring, this MCCB minimizes unplanned downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and shortens maintenance cycles. The upfront investment is offset by improved equipment uptime and simpler wiring, especially in multichannel distribution setups.
