PKZM0-2.5-T Eaton Motor Protective Circuit Breaker

The Moeller PKZM0-2.5-T is a manual motor protective circuit breaker intended for three-phase motor applications involving inductive loads and higher inrush currents. It provides overload and short-circuit protection, with an adjustable thermal setting range of 1.6–2.5A and a magnetic trip response of 50A. Its short-circuit current rating is 50kA at 600V AC, while the 2.5A model designation identifies the upper end of the adjustable thermal range. The device is UL listed and CSA certified for group installations under NEC 430-53 and CEC Rule 28-206, eliminating the need for individual branch circuit overcurrent devices. This arrangement reduces control-panel wiring, installation cost, and panel space while maintaining safety and compliance.
