FAQs
Plan for the large panel footprint: dimensions are 629 mm length, 387 mm width, and 365 mm height with rear-terminal connections included. Ensure panel cutouts provide clearance for heat dissipation, provide sufficient wiring space, and accommodate mounting hardware compatible with Frame 5 MCCBs. Verify enclosure rating and provide proper labeling for the Modbus RTU and ZSI signaling interfaces.
This MCCB is rated for up to 1600 A, with a 50 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V. It is designed for main protection in industrial power distribution, switchgear, and high-demand feeders, offering reliable short-circuit protection and streamlined coordination with downstream protection devices.
The PXR20 LSI integrates protection logic with Modbus RTU communications, enabling remote monitoring, event reporting, and smoother SCADA/HMI integration. This improves visibility, enables coordinated trip strategies, and reduces response times to electrical faults across distributed assets.
Rear terminals simplify wiring by allowing the conductors to enter from the back, reducing front-panel congestion and making wiring neater. This design speeds up installation, lowers the risk of wiring mistakes, and is particularly beneficial in tight electrical cabinets or retrofit projects.
