FAQs
Install the Eaton Power Defense molded case circuit breaker in accordance with the enclosure’s busbar layout and labeling. Ensure correct pole configuration (three-pole) and mount using the approved kit. Verify conductor terminations are metric-compatible and follow torque values from the Eaton specification sheet. Use CAM Link and LSI modules per the project protection scheme to maintain proper coordination with upstream devices.
This MCCB supports a 1600 A frame with a 50 kA short-circuit withstand at 415 V for three-pole configurations. It offers CAM Link-enabled LSI with ZSI and relays to enhance protection coordination and fault signaling. The device fits standard industrial panels and uses metric conductor extensions for termination in dense enclosures.
Yes, the PDC53K1600E2XM is designed for high-current distribution with a 1600 A frame and 50 kA short-circuit rating, making it suitable for motor feeders and large panel boards. Its CAM Link and ZSI/relay options support precise coordination and remote signaling, easing motor protection and maintenance tasks in manufacturing environments.
The data indicates 'Compliances: Contact Manufacturer,' so exact certifications should be confirmed with Eaton. For project planning, consult the Eaton specification sheet and regional regulatory guidance (CE, UL, etc.) to verify applicable certifications and ensure compliance for your location and industry requirements.
The combination of high current rating, modular protection options (LSI with CAM Link, ZSI, relays), and the ability to use metric conductor extensions reduces installation time and wiring errors. These features translate to lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and a faster return on investment in high-demand industrial facilities.
