Eaton PDC53K1600E2RM Molded Case Circuit Breaker -50kA/415V
Part Number: PDC53K1600E2RM
Quick Summary
Power Defense molded case circuit breakers protect industrial power systems from overloads and short circuits in control panels and motor feeders. Engineers often struggle to balance high-current protection with a compact footprint and easy maintenance. Certifications that matter for this class include CE marking for European compliance, UL/IEC approvals for global use, and IP ratings to guard exposed enclosures; SIL considerations are also relevant for safety-critical applications. The PDC53K1600E2RM offers Frame 5, 1600A, and 50kA at 415V, with PXR20 LSI relays and metric conductor extensions for flexible wiring. Choosing this Eaton device supports predictable coordination, faster installation, and reduced downtime across critical production lines.

FAQs
The PDC53K1600E2RM is a Frame 5, three-pole molded case breaker designed for standard industrial panels. Plan for a compact footprint with ample clearance for wiring and relay connections. Use the metric conductor extensions to simplify wiring and ensure the device fits within enclosure tolerances while maintaining proper torque on terminations.
This device provides a 1600A continuous current rating, a 50kA interrupt capacity, and operates at 415V. It is a three-pole design suitable for 3-phase power distribution in heavy-duty applications, delivering reliable short-circuit protection and coordinated tripping for complex industrial circuits.
Yes. With a 1600A rating and 50kA interrupt capacity at 415V, this MCCB supports high-current motor feeders and demanding loads. Its Frame 5 configuration optimizes panel space, while PXR20 LSI relays enable integrated signaling for motor protection schemes and easier maintenance planning in manufacturing environments.
Power Defense MCCBs typically align with global standards such as CE marking for European use and UL/IEC approvals for North American and international markets. IP ratings protect enclosures in harsh environments, and SIL considerations are relevant for safety-critical applications. Always verify specific product compliance with the manufacturer to ensure site-appropriate certification coverage.
Customers can access technical catalogs, installation how-to videos, and specification sheets that accompany the Power Defense family. These resources support faster commissioning, reduce wiring errors, and improve maintenance planning. The combination of modular accessories, signal relays, and metric conductor extensions helps lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s life cycle.
