Eaton PKZM0-25-SPI3 Guardamotor, 25A, tripolar, térmico-magnético 199202

In industrial control panels and motor control centers, the Eaton PKZM0-25-SPI3 motor protection circuit breaker safeguards three-phase motors against overload and short-circuit faults. With a rated operational current of 25 A and an adjustable overload release range from 20 to 25 A, it is suited for protecting motors up to approximately 11 kW at 400 V AC. The thermal-magnetic release principle ensures reliable disconnection under fault conditions, while the 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity at 400 V provides robust protection in demanding installations. The device is designed for DIN rail or screw mounting and features screw terminals for secure wiring. Its IP20 degree of protection makes it suitable for use in enclosed electrical enclosures. Compliant with IEC/EN 60947-4-1 and VDE 0660, this breaker is a dependable choice for motor protection in industrial automation, HVAC, and pump applications.
