Eaton PDC53K1600D4WM Power Defense MCCB - 50kA
Part Number: PDC53K1600D4WM
Quick Summary
Eaton Power Defense molded case circuit breaker protects electrical systems in heavy‑duty industrial power distributions. This model addresses common panel protection challenges, including selective tripping, remote monitoring, and easy integration with existing control architectures. While compliance requirements vary by region, many installations leverage standard frame and trip-unit configurations alongside options such as Modbus RTU, ARMS LSI, ZSI and relays to meet site safety goals. By consolidating protection, monitoring, and signaling in a single device, maintenance overhead is reduced and uptime is improved. For procurement, this MCCB supports scalable protection in demanding environments while enabling streamlined panel design and component harmonization with the Power Defense family.

FAQs
The PDC53K1600D4WM is a three‑pole MCCB with a substantial footprint (470 mm x 274 mm x 305 mm) and a weight near 29.9 kg. Plan for adequate panel space, mounting hardware, and a compatible enclosure. Ensure proper clearance for venting and wiring, and use the metric conductor extensions to simplify field wiring during installation.
This unit offers a 1600 A current rating and 50 kA interrupt capacity at 415 V, making it ideal for large feeders and motor circuits. The combination of Frame 5 construction and a robust trip system minimizes the risk of cascading faults and supports selective tripping in complex distribution schemes.
Modbus RTU provides remote monitoring and control capabilities, while ARMS LSI enables enhanced arc fault and protection signaling. Together, they deliver real-time trip status, configurable protection settings, and easier maintenance planning for panel boards, improving uptime and reducing field service time.
