Eaton Specification Sheet - PDC53K1600D5YR
Feature: Frame 5, three-pole construction, and a 1600 A rating deliver robust protection for large feeders and main distribution panels. This reduces the number of devices in the upstream chain and simplifies maintenance cycles. Business impact: higher reliability for critical feeders and easier future expansion in expanding plants. Application: ideal for main panel boards and heavy-load distribution zones. Paragraph two: Feature: 50 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V increases fault withstand and safety margins. Business impact: enhanced personnel safety and reduced downtime from fault events. Application: suitable for heavy machinery, presses, and process lines. Paragraph three: Feature: PXR20D ARMS LSIG with Modbus RTU, CAM Link, ZSI and Relays enables remote diagnostics and integration with plant automation. Business impact: real-time visibility, predictive maintenance, and faster fault isolation. Application: control panels with remote monitoring needs. Paragraph four: Feature: Rear terminals included streamline installation and wiring organization. Business impact: faster commissioning, neater panel layouts, and easier retrofits. Application: panel assemblies and retrofit projects. Paragraph five: Feature: Broad compatibility with IEC/CCC specs and comprehensive datasheet support. Business impact: reduces compliance risk and supports lifecycle cost planning. Application: new installations and upgrades in industrial environments.

FAQs
Install the PDC53K1600D5YR using the rear terminals included in the package to simplify wiring. Confirm panel rating supports 415 V and ensure ample clearance for a frame 5 MCCB. Tighten terminations to manufacturer torque specs and connect the LSIG trip unit interfaces (Modbus RTU, CAM Link, ZSI) per the Eaton datasheet for proper operation.
The device is a three-pole MCCB rated for 1600 A with a 50 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V. This enables safe interruption of high-current faults typical in large feeders, minimizing equipment damage and improving system safety in power distribution panels and line-start applications.
Yes. The PDC53K1600D5YR supports LSIG with Modbus RTU, CAM Link, and ZSI relay configurations, enabling remote monitoring, integration with Siemens/Allen-Bradley compatible systems, and easier fault diagnostics across the plant network.
Exact certifications should be verified on the datasheet, but devices in this family typically reference CE marking and UL/IEC-style compliance. For high-stakes applications, consult Eaton’s datasheet or contact the manufacturer to confirm current certifications and IP ratings for your environment.
It provides robust overcurrent protection for large feeders, supports remote monitoring for predictive maintenance, simplifies installation with rear terminals, and reduces downtime through higher fault tolerance and faster fault isolation in distribution panels.
