Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the Eaton PDG53K0800E2MN is a 3-pole, 800A molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense Frame 5 family. It provides reliable power distribution for commercial and marine facilities. This unit mounts into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards and switchboards, serving as a direct replacement for legacy NGS30800 and ND30800 breakers. Rated at 50kAIC at 480V, it features an advanced PXR20 LSI electronic trip unit with Modbus RTU and relays.
Are terminal lugs included with this PDG5 breaker from the factory?
No. The N suffix at the end of the PDG53K0800E2MN catalog number indicates that this unit ships without factory-installed terminals. You must field-install the appropriate lugs or busbar connectors matched to your specific wire size and conductor material.
What adjustability does the PXR20 electronic trip unit offer on the PDG53K0800E2MN?
The PXR20 trip unit allows you to program Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) pickup and delay settings to safely coordinate fault responses with upstream and downstream devices. This specific E2MN configuration also features integrated Modbus RTU communications and relays for real-time telemetry.
Which older Cutler-Hammer breaker frames does the Power Defense Frame 5 series upgrade?
The Power Defense Frame 5 (PDG5) is Eaton's modern globally rated successor to legacy 800-amp Series C (ND-Frame) and Series G (NG-Frame) circuit breakers. It serves similar high-capacity distribution applications while offering modernized electronic capabilities.
Does the PXR20 trip unit provide predictive maintenance data?
Yes. The PXR20 trip unit includes predictive diagnostics and logs trip events. When connected to a control network via Modbus RTU, it allows operators to monitor breaker health, track power events, and diagnose faults remotely, which minimizes personnel exposure to live equipment.
