Motor starter PKZM01, Ir=10-16A PKZM01-16-EA 189891

Motor starter PKZM01, Ir=10-16A PKZM01-16-EA is a reliable device designed to protect electric motors from overload and short circuit. It is a key element ensuring safe and efficient operation of electrical installations in industry, construction and many other applications.

Characteristics and application

The PKZM01 switch from the EA series is a modern solution from Eaton, which replaces the previous generation of switches, offering identical technical parameters at a more favorable price. The device is designed for permanent mounting and is characterized by a compact design – its depth is 93 mm, width 45 mm, and height 90 mm. The three-pole design allows for the protection of three-phase motors with a power of up to 7.5 kW at a voltage of 400 V (AC-3). Using the PKZM01 switch guarantees effective motor protection, and also simplifies planning and storage thanks to the reduced number of device types needed to cover a wide range of currents.

Advantages and benefits

• Overload and short circuit protection: Provides comprehensive motor protection, minimizing the risk of failure and downtime.
• Phase failure sensitivity: Detects loss of one of the supply phases, which prevents damage to the motor resulting from operation in incorrect conditions.
• Rated switching capacity: High rated short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu = 50 kA at 400 V AC) guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with the DIL series of contactors from Eaton, which facilitates the creation of complete motor starters. The same accessories can be used as in the previous PKZM0 and PKZM4 series.
• Current setting range: Adjustable setting range of the overload release (10…16 A) allows for precise adjustment to the characteristics of the protected motor.
• Screw connection: The use of screw connections ensures a secure and durable connection of the wires.
• Cost optimization: The EA series offers the same technical parameters as previous series, but at a more competitive price.

Construction and mounting

The PKZM01-16-EA switch has a solid construction designed to operate in demanding industrial conditions. Mounting is done on a DIN rail, which facilitates installation and servicing. The device is equipped with screw terminals providing a safe connection of the supply and control wires. Remember to select the correct wire cross-sections in accordance with applicable standards and to maintain adequate space around the switch to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
