Eaton PDG63M1600E4MN Power Defense molded case circuit breaker is rated 1600A at 240VAC, 480VAC and 600VAC, with 3 poles, 3-phase configuration and 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC. Electronic trip uses a PXR 20 trip unit with adjustable thermal and magnetic settings and long-time, short-time and instantaneous trip functions. The PDG6 series and frame feature bolt-on mounting and terminal connection with standard protection. Dimensions are 16 in high, 15.5 in wide and 9.75 in deep. Approvals are CSA, UL, CCC and IEC; standards include RoHS.
When should I select the Eaton PDG63M1600E4MN for a circuit?
Select this 1600A molded case circuit breaker when the circuit design requires that current rating. Coordinate the rating and trip settings with the load and conductor protection requirements.
What system voltages can I use this breaker on?
The breaker is rated for 240VAC, 480VAC and 600VAC. Match the circuit voltage to one of these ratings, and evaluate interrupting capacity separately for the installation.
How do I apply the 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC?
For a 480VAC installation, compare the available fault current at the breaker location with its 65kAIC interrupting rating. The available fault current must not exceed that rating.
Is this a three-pole breaker for a three-phase circuit?
Yes. Its three-pole, three-phase construction allows the circuit's three phase conductors to be interrupted together. Choose it when the circuit design calls for three-pole protection.
What trip unit does this breaker use, and can I adjust its protection?
It uses a PXR 20 electronic trip unit with adjustable thermal and adjustable magnetic protection. These adjustments let you tailor overload and fault response to the circuit's protection and coordination requirements.
What do the long-time, short-time and instantaneous trip functions do?
Long-time protection responds to sustained overloads, while short-time protection permits a delayed response to high overcurrent for coordination. Instantaneous protection responds to high overcurrent without an intentional delay. Use these functions when developing the circuit's protection settings.
How is this breaker mounted and connected?
Both the mounting and terminal connections are bolt-on. Plan for mechanical fastening of the breaker and bolted electrical connections during installation.
What dimensions should I use when planning installation space?
The breaker measures 16 in high, 15.5 in wide and 9.75 in deep. Use these dimensions to plan its physical installation space, while accounting separately for connection access and working clearances.
Which approvals should I consider for project requirements?
The breaker carries CSA, UL, CCC and IEC approvals. Use these when reviewing the approval requirements for the project and installation jurisdiction.
