It is ideal for commercial, marine, and industrial power systems. This unit mounts into Eaton switchboards and Pow-R-Line panelboards, serving as an upgrade for legacy ND3800T52W breakers. It features a sophisticated PXR25 LSI electronic trip unit that includes integrated power metering, Modbus RTU connectivity, and 50kAIC at 480V.
What enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the Eaton PDG53K0800P2MN?
This 800A Frame 5 breaker is designed for use in Eaton Power Defense enclosures, switchboards, and Pow-R-Line panelboards.
Can the Power Defense Frame 5 replace older Eaton Series C or Series G breakers?
Yes. The Eaton Power Defense Frame 5 (PDG5) is designed as a direct replacement for obsolete Series C and Series G N-frame circuit breakers. It shares the same physical dimensions, though updated mounting hardware may be required during installation.
What does the LSI designation mean on the PDG53K0800P2MN trip unit?
LSI stands for Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous trip functions. This electronic trip unit allows precise adjustability for overload and short-circuit protection, making it easier to coordinate with other breakers in your electrical distribution system.
What type of trip unit is installed in the PDG53K0800P2MN?
This breaker features a Power Xpert Release (PXR) 25 electronic trip unit. The PXR25 includes an LCD display, programmable LSI settings, and built-in metering and communications capabilities like Modbus RTU.
Does the PDG53K0800P2MN include ground fault protection?
No. The LSI trip unit provides Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection, but it does not include a Ground Fault (G) trip function. If ground fault protection is required, a breaker with an LSIG trip unit must be selected.
How is the PDG53K0800P2MN mounted in a panel?
This breaker features a unit mount, bolt-on connection type, allowing it to be securely bolted directly to the busbars in compatible switchboards and panelboards.
