FAQs
The PDC53K1600E2ZM is engineered for high-current demand with a 1600A frame and 50kA interrupting capacity at 415V, making it well-suited for motor feeders and main distribution sections. Its three-pole configuration ensures coordinated protection across phases, while metric conductor extensions simplify field wiring. For panel builders, this translates to fewer components and streamlined assembly without compromising protection.
Key specifications include a three-pole design, 1600A frame rating, 50kA short-circuit interrupting capacity, and 415V operating voltage. It utilizes PXR20 LSI with ZSI and relays, and supports metric conductor extensions. These attributes support robust protection in industrial power distribution, enabling reliable fault clearance and coordination with downstream protection devices.
Yes. Its high-current capability, arc-flash safety features, and the PXR20 LSI with ZSI provide fast, reliable protection suited for motor control centers and industrial enclosures. The unit’s compact footprint and documented installation guidance help integrate it into crowded MCCs, while the 50kA/415V ratings align with common industrial electrical systems.
Regional deployment often requires CE marking, SIL suitability considerations for safety circuits, and enclosure IP ratings. This product family is designed for broad compliance; however, exact certifications vary by market. Always confirm with Eaton for the specific CE, SIL, and IP requirements relevant to your site and local codes before installation.
The ROI stems from reduced downtime due to fast fault clearance, improved arc-flash protection, and simplified wiring with metric extensions. Regular maintenance includes verifying relay signaling, periodic contact checks, and ensuring proper heat dissipation within the enclosure. Access to Eaton’s specification sheets and catalogs supports ongoing service planning and parts availability.
