Motor starter PKZM01, Ir=16-20A PKZM01-20-EA 189892

Motor starter PKZM01, Ir=16-20A PKZM01-20-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 commercial applications.

This three-pole switch, with a rated continuous current of 20A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 50kA at 400V AC, effectively protects circuits from the effects of sudden current surges. The use of a thermal-magnetic tripping characteristic ensures a quick response to short circuits and overloads, minimizing the risk of damage to the motor and installation. It is worth noting the phase failure sensitivity – this function additionally protects the motor against operation in an incomplete circuit, which extends its lifespan.

The PKZM01-20-EA switch is part of the new -EA series from Eaton, which replaces the previous generation of products. This change simplifies the selection and storage of components while maintaining full compatibility with existing DIL series contactors. The device is characterized by a solid construction for fixed mounting and screw connection of the main contacts, ensuring secure and durable electrical connections. The rated power for AC-3 is 9kW at 400V and 5.5kW at 230V, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications. Power loss is 5.82W.

• Versatile application: ideal for motor starters in combination with Eaton DIL contactors.
• Motor protection: protection against overload, short circuit and phase failure.
• Easy integration: compatibility with PKZ/PKZM4 series accessories (auxiliary contacts, tripping indicators, release units).
• Compact dimensions: depth 93 mm, width 45 mm and height 90 mm facilitate mounting in limited spaces.
• Safety: meets safety standards and has a protection degree of IP20.
• New -EA series: simplified component selection and full compatibility with existing Eaton solutions.

The PKZM01-20-EA switch is an optimal solution for both professional installers looking for reliable motor protection and end-users who value safety and long-term operation of their devices. Thanks to its versatility and ease of installation, it is an integral part of modern electrical installations.
