The Moeller PKZM0-16-T is a robust transformer-protective circuit breaker designed to safeguard transformers from potential electrical hazards. This three-pole device is engineered to handle a rated uninterrupted current of 16A and is equipped with screw terminals for secure and reliable connections. Its compact design makes it suitable for integration into a variety of industrial control panels, while its compliance with IEC/EN 60947 and VDE 0660 standards ensures high-quality performance and adherence to international safety regulations.

The PKZM0-16-T features a manual turn button for straightforward operation and a switched-off indicator for clear status identification. It is capable of withstanding rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 50kA at 400V, 50Hz, highlighting its capability to manage challenging industrial environments. The device also offers phase-failure sensitivity as per IEC/EN 60947-4-1, VDE 0660 Part 102, providing additional protection against phase loss which is critical for transformer applications.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the PKZM0-16-T can be easily mounted onto a DIN rail, making it a versatile choice for electrical installations. Its IP20 degree of protection ensures that the device is safeguarded against the ingress of solid objects, adding to its durability and longevity in demanding settings. The circuit breaker does not include an integrated earth fault protection, which allows for customised protection schemes to be implemented as required by the specific application.

Overall, the Moeller PKZM0-16-T is a reliable and efficient solution for transformer protection, offering precise overload and short-circuit settings to ensure the safety and operational continuity of electrical systems.
