Low-voltage switchgear

Front Access Magnum PXR low-voltage switchgear

Front Access Magnum PXR low-voltage switchgear combines the robustness of UL 1558 low-voltage switchgear with the flexibility of UL 891 switchboard design. The front-accessible switchgear offering allows mounting against a wall, corner or in other tight locations where a standard rear-accessible switchgear lineup would not normally fit. Front access switchgear is available with the same Magnum circuit breakers with Power Xpert Release trip units as rear-accessible switchgear. 

VOLTAGE CLASS
Up to 600 V
CONTINUOUS CURRENT
Up to 6000 A
SHORT-CIRCUIT WITHSTAND
100 kA

Core features

  • Front-accessible cable compartment 18, 22, 30 or 44 inches wide
  • Draw-out LV power circuit breakers with 100%-rated, fully selective protection and integral microprocessor-based circuit breaker tripping systems
  • Engineered-to-order configurations available to accommodate a wide range of applications
  • Complies with UL 1558 safety standards
  • Standard 40.2-inch switchgear depth
  • Up to 4-high breaker arrangement
  • Silver plated copper bus standard, tin plated optional
  • NEMA 1 indoor and NEMA 3R outdoor aisle and aisleless enclosures available

Monitor and analyze

Power Xpert Dashboard allows users to monitor their switchgear through one-line diagrams, keep tabs on energy usage, and even monitor, diagnose and control devices – all while being away from the switchgear itself.

Flexibility with enhanced safety

Now you can combine the flexibility of front access switchgear with the safety of C37.20.7 arc-resistant switchgear.

Automatic transfer schemes

When providing redundant power sources for critical power applications, select the:

  • Eaton ATC-900 controller for lineups with main-main, main-generator or generator-generator applications
  • Eaton PLC with Eaton touchscreen for automatic main-tie-main transfer
  • Eaton Power Distribution Monitoring and Control to monitor or control transfer schemes for a main-tie-main and adjust settings and sequence details
