Eaton Specification Sheet - PDC53K1600E2MM
Frame 5 three-pole design provides robust high-current protection for heavy motor loads and large distribution panels, enabling a single device to manage substantial fault currents without frequent replacement. The Power Defense platform with 50kA/415V capability delivers reliable short-circuit interruption, supporting safer startup sequences and reduced downtime in demanding industrial environments. The LS I trip unit with Modbus RTU and relays enables remote monitoring, data logging, and easy integration with DCS or SCADA systems, cutting maintenance visits and improving asset visibility. Conductor extensions with metric compatibility simplify field wiring, speeding panel fabrication and reducing wiring errors during installation. Comprehensive documentation and the availability of installation videos further shorten commissioning time, while the device’s sizable frame and weight inform accurate enclosure budgeting and safe handling. This combination yields measurable efficiency gains and improved lifecycle cost management for heavy industry, data centers, and manufacturing lines.

FAQs
Plan for a three-pole arrangement with the Frame 5 footprint and ensure proper mounting clearance for the 470 mm length, 305 mm width, and 274 mm height. Use metric conductor extensions as required to match enclosure spacing, and reference the Eaton datasheet and the MCCB installation videos for torque, wiring schemes, and relay configuration steps.
This unit is a 1600A, three-pole molded case circuit breaker with a 50kA short-circuit rating at 415V. It features an LSI trip unit with Modbus RTU and relays, enabling remote monitoring and control integration. It is designed for high-current protection in demanding industrial applications such as motors and process lines.
Yes. The Frame 5, 1600A rating and 50kA/415V capability are appropriate for large motor feeders. The integrated Modbus RTU and relays facilitate remote protection coordination, diagnostics, and instant signaling to control systems, which helps minimize motor-related downtime and supports predictive maintenance strategies.
Compliances for this model are listed as Contact Manufacturer. In practice, verify CE markings, IP considerations, and SIL concepts per your regional requirements by consulting Eaton’s datasheets and the installation manuals to ensure alignment with your project standards.
Modbus RTU with relays enables remote diagnostics, trending, and event logging, reducing on-site visits and accelerating fault diagnosis. This leads to lower maintenance costs, shorter mean time to repair (MTTR), and improved asset utilization, especially in centralized monitoring environments and high-availability facilities.
