Motor starter PKZM0, Ir=10-16A PKZM0-16-EA 189905

Motor starter – reliable protection for your motors

This Eaton PKZM0-16-EA motor starter is a compact and effective solution for protecting electric motors from overloads and short circuits. The device combines the functions of an overcurrent and thermal overload protector, providing comprehensive protection in various industrial and commercial applications. A rated continuous current of 16A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 50kA at 400V AC guarantee effective operation even in demanding conditions.

Design and application

The PKZM0-16-EA starter features a robust design for DIN rail mounting, making installation and integration with existing systems easy. Screw terminals ensure secure and durable electrical connections. The device is designed to operate in circuits with a rated voltage of up to 690V AC, making it a universal solution for a wide range of applications. Additionally, phase failure sensitivity increases operational safety, protecting the motor from damage caused by the loss of one phase. This starter is ideal for protecting transformers and in applications requiring reliable motor protection.

Advantages and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity, reaching 50kA at 400V AC, ensures effective protection against the effects of sudden overvoltages. This keeps the circuit safe even in the event of high short-circuit currents.

• Thermal protection protects the motor from overheating caused by overload, extending its lifespan and minimizing the risk of failure.

• Phase failure sensitivity increases operational safety, preventing motor damage resulting from the loss of one phase – this is particularly important in installations sensitive to this type of interference.

• Compact dimensions – width 45mm, height 93mm and depth 76mm – facilitate mounting even in limited switchgear space.

• Versatility of application thanks to the ability to operate in circuits with a voltage of up to 690V AC means that the starter can be used in various industrial and commercial installations.

• Compliance with IEC/EN 60947 standards guarantees the safety and reliability of the device, confirmed by certificates and tests.

• Optimized operating power – rated power for AC-3 is 7.5kW at 400V and 4kW at 230V – allows for efficient energy use by connected devices.

• Durable construction made of high-quality materials ensures a long service life even in harsh operating conditions.

• Easy mounting on a DIN rail makes installation quick and simple, saving time and labor costs.

• Effective overload protection prevents motor damage caused by prolonged loading exceeding its capabilities, which translates to reduced repair costs and downtime.

Thanks to these features, the PKZM0-16-EA starter is the ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and effective solution to protect their electric motors.
