Magnum DS - Product specific information
MDSX circuit breaker
The Magnum MDSX is a current limiting circuit breaker of the
Magnum DS Family . It has a 200 kA interrupting rating without
the need for current limiters at 480 Vac with continuous current
ratings up to 5000A . MDSX circuit breakers utilize fast opening
contacts, and are available in both drawout and fixed mounting
configurations .
Current limiting performance of the MDSX family of current
limiting circuit breakers is shown in above . The label on the
breaker indicates its current-limiting characteristics . The MDSX
provides all the same operational features normally associated
with Magnum DS .
Non-automatic breaker (switch)
The non-automatic Magnum DS breaker (switch) shares the
same frame and accessories as the circuit breaker . It does not,
however, have the following:
•
Trip Unit
•
Sensors
•
Overcurrent Release
The switch is available in both three-pole and four-pole fixed and
drawout configurations .
A non-automatic power circuit breaker includes separable
contacts for movement between a closed position and an open
position, and an operating mechanism for moving the separable
contacts between the two positions . This breaker can be applied
where a local means of disconnect or isolation is required . It can
be operated either manually or electrically . It should be noted,
since the Magnum Non-Automatic Breaker (switch) does not
include any overcurrent protection, it cannot be used in branch or
feeder circuit protection applications .
MDE circuit breaker
The Magnum DS Family includes the MDE High Endurance
Circuit Breaker . The MDE circuit breaker is rated for 15,000
Open-Close operating cycles between scheduled maintenance
periods . It is a specially designed and manufactured Magnum DS
Circuit Breaker intended for especially robust applications that
require a higher than normal number of operating cycles without
maintenance . Contact Eaton for additional details .
