Motor starter 1.6A 0.37kW PKZM0-1.6 072735

Motor starter – reliable protection for your motors

This three-pole motor starter PKZM0-1.6 from Eaton is a key element in protecting the electrical installation powering motors. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, and also has a built-in phase failure detection function, which minimizes the risk of damage and downtime. The device is designed to operate in networks with a rated voltage of up to 690V and a continuous current of 1.6A, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

Design and functionality

The starter is characterized by a compact design (45mm wide, 93mm high and 76mm deep) and DIN rail mounting, which facilitates its installation and integration with existing systems. Screw connection of the main contacts guarantees durable and reliable electrical connections. The adjustable overload release (range 1-1.6A) allows for precise adjustment to the load characteristics, and the instantaneous short-circuit release (25A) ensures a quick response in the event of a dangerous condition. It is worth noting that the device does not have an integrated auxiliary contact or undervoltage release.

Advantages for the installer and end user

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: up to 150kA at 400V ensures the safety of the installation even in the event of high short-circuit currents.
• Phase failure sensitivity: protects the motor from damage caused by voltage asymmetry.
• Adjustable overload current: allows optimal adaptation to the load characteristics and prevents unnecessary tripping.
• Compact dimensions: make it easy to install in tight switchgear spaces.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60947 and VDE 0660, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
• Versatility: suitable for protecting motors with a power of up to 0.55kW (AC-3 at 400V) and 0.25kW (AC-3 at 230V).
• Durable connections: screw connection provides stable electrical connections resistant to vibration and loose connections.

This motor starter is a solid solution for professionals and users looking for reliable protection for their electric motors. Its high quality of workmanship and compliance with applicable standards guarantee long-term and safe operation.
