Circuit breaker 1600A 3P 65 kA fixed OCR thermal-magnetic trip motor operator EPL-16 3H AF/M2C2S2/PR-LP 004695720

Professional Air Circuit Breaker for demanding applications

The EPL-16 circuit breaker belongs to the category of Air Circuit Breakers according to the ETIM EC000228 classification. Specifically designed for the protection of transformers, generators, and extensive electrical installations, it features a rated current of 1600A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 65 kA.

Operating parameters and technical capabilities

The device operates with a rated current of 1600A at a voltage of 690V, providing an impressive short-circuit breaking capacity of 65 kA at a frequency of 50Hz. The three-pole (3P) construction guarantees symmetrical protection of all installation phases.

The advanced adjustment system allows for precise parameter tuning to the specifics of the protected installation. Magnetic setting in the range of 1-15 × In and thermal setting of 0,4-1 × In allow for the optimization of the time-current characteristic. An impulse voltage withstand capability of 8 kV ensures resistance to atmospheric and switching surges.

The circuit breaker is equipped with integrated ground fault protection, eliminating the need for additional protective devices in this regard. The trip status indicator informs the operator of the current device status without the need to remove covers.

The IP20 protection rating protects against accidental contact with live parts and access by foreign objects larger than 12mm. The design, adapted for fixed mounting, eliminates the risk of accidental disconnection during operation.

Motor drive and control functionality

The motor drive is an integral part of the design, enabling automatic switching operations. Additionally, an option to expand with an additional motor drive is available for applications requiring redundancy or remote control.

A control element in the form of a button provides intuitive manual operation while maintaining the possibility of integration with industrial automation systems. Five switchable auxiliary contacts enable the implementation of complex signaling and interlocking circuits.

Rear connection simplifies wiring in high-current switchboards, especially in applications where mounting space is limited. The device complies with the IEC 60947-2 standard, guaranteeing compliance with international safety standards.

Compact dimensions (400×340×300mm) with a weight of 35,93 kg facilitate transport and installation even in hard-to-reach locations. The ETIM EC000228 class confirms its specialized purpose for power protection in industrial and energy applications.
