PKZM0-16-T Eaton Motor Protective Circuit Breaker

The PKZM0-16-T from Moeller is a manual motor protective circuit breaker for inductive loads and motors with high inrush currents. Rated at 16A, the device provides overload and short-circuit protection through an adjustable thermal range of 10–16A and a magnetic trip response of 358A. Its 10kA short-circuit current rating at 600V AC suits demanding 3-phase motor applications. The unit is UL listed and CSA certified for group installations in compliance with NEC 430-53 and CEC Rule 28-206, eliminating the need for individual motor branch circuit overcurrent devices. This arrangement saves panel space, reduces wiring complexity, and lowers overall panel costs while maintaining safety and standards compliance.
