Motor starter with push-button actuation PKZM01-0.16 278475

Motor starter switch – reliable protection for your installation

This three-pole motor starter switch with push-button operation, model PKZM01-0.16, is a compact and efficient solution for protecting motors and electrical circuits. A rated continuous current of 0.16A makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise protection against overload and short circuit. The device is characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 50kA at 400V AC, which guarantees safety even in the event of serious failures.

Design and application

The PKZM01-0.16 switch is designed for fixed mounting and offers a thermal-magnetic tripping method. This means it reacts to both temperature increases caused by overload and sudden current surges associated with short circuits. Screw connections ensure secure and durable electrical connections. Phase failure sensitivity further increases the safety of the installation, protecting against damage resulting from unbalanced phase loading.

This switch is fully compatible with the DIL series of contactors from Eaton, allowing for the creation of complex motor starters. Common accessories for the PKZM0 and PKZM01 series (trip units, side and front auxiliary contacts, tripping indicators) simplify system configuration and maintenance. The possibility of using IP65 enclosures with an emergency mushroom button CI-PKZ01-PVT or with a membrane CI-PKZ01-G increases the versatility of the device and allows it to be adapted to different working conditions.
