Power Defense intelligent circuit breaker

Intelligent circuit breakers provide greater safety, offer data and built-in reporting and can be used anywhere. They deliver on the promise of making your life easier, protecting your dreams, team and reputation.

Protected: arc flash reduction and more

The Power Defense circuit breakers deliver arc flash reduction technologies that allow you to better protect your customers, your staff and your reputation. Built in technologies secure enhance safety.

• Reduce arc flash energy levels
  Eaton's ArcFlash Reduction Maintenance System™ helps protect workers by reducing dangerous and potential arc flash incident energy levels. It enabling workers to activate this system from a safe distance without altering critical protection settings of the breaker.
• Faster trip times
  Zone Selective Interlock (ZSI) technology protects equipment by intelligently selecting faster trip times in coordinated systems, an advantage which can keep operators safe and productive. Power Defense circuit breakers advance this proven technology by providing the ability to test the ZSI system functionality while visually indicating its operational status.
• Preempt impending system failures
  Our Power Xpert® Release (PXR) electronic trip units are equipped with the latest microprocessor technology that notify you when your power distribution system needs to be maintained or replaced. PXR trip units also offer programmable relay alarms, which provide situational awareness to preempt impending system failures, keeping your facility on-line, safe, and productive.

Connected: built-in communications

Stay connected with advanced circuit breaker technology that warns of impending problems. Customize programmable trip units to meet your needs. Power Defense circuit breakers keep you informed.

• Built-in communications - stay connected and informed
  Power Defense MCCBs with Power Xpert Release electronic trip units feature built-in communications allowing you to use fewer components and a simplified design while keeping your system connected, and customers informed. With the optional second independent communications channel through an external module, you have unprecedented connectivity options.
• Programmable trip units
  The PXR trip unit family has models that will cover all of your needs, including fully programmable models that enable ultimate customizability and flexibility, as well as value models that offer all of the benefits of electronic trip units, with simple set up and coordination.
• Measure and report on energy consumption
  PXR technology provides the embedded ability to accurately measure energy consumption with no additional meters or equipment, delivering critical data about your power distribution system and energy use in your facility. PXR trip units timestamp captured events, and store critical data and waveforms associated with each event for fault analysis and forensic timeline reconstruction.
