Thanks to their special features, the Eaton Moeller series™ motor-protective circuit breakers with electronic overload protection complement the PKZ range and offer a good alternative to MCBs with bimetallic strips. Due to the compact and modular design featuring plug-in trip blocks, they offer maximum flexibility in the current range up to 65 A. By adding the PKE-XTUCP trip blocks, you can quickly turn a PKE motor-protective circuit breaker into a PKE circuit breaker for system and cable protection.
Hand-operated motor-protective circuit breaker in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-4-1, VDE 0660 Part 102
Rotary handle with ON & OFF switch-position indicator
Pluggable trip block up to 65 A with visible isolating distance
If used in conjunction with the appropriate accessories, the circuit breaker can be turned into main switch or emergency-stop switch in accordance with EN 60204 and/or VDE 0113
SmartWire-DT integration
Circuit breaker width: 45 mm up to 36 A / 55 mm up to 65 A
UL/CSA (including Types E and F) approvals for the North American market
Isolating characteristics in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-3
Short-circuit proof up to 100 kA (400 V) up to 32 A, 50 kA (400 V) up to 65 A
The PKE as part of the xStart system
Many applications require an auxiliary contact with different contact configurations for interlocking and signaling. By using a motor starter, however, it becomes possible to implement a more direct, safe and efficient control design.
All the information at your fingertips thanks to SmartWire-DT
Via SmartWire-DT, the PKE motor starter combinations can be easily integrated into any automation environment. By enhancing data transparency, SmartWire-DT increases the efficiency and reliability of the drives in the vicinity of the motor-protective circuit breaker.
Energy efficiency is currently a hot topic
With Eaton, your systems are automatically compliant with the ErP directive in a simple, fast and economical way, while significantly reducing your energy costs.
Expertise that we are happy to share - the Eaton Moeller series
Eaton has been manufacturing the PKZ motor-protective circuit breaker since 1932. Since then, our ideas and innovations have made a major contribution to advances in motor protection. In this regard, the name PKZ not only stands for quality, but has also become a synonym for motor-protective circuit breakers among experts.
