Typical Applications
The ED63A002 is specified for branch circuit protection of standard-range AC induction motors used with full-voltage motor starters. It provides overload and short-circuit protection in motor control centers, distribution panels, and motor feeder circuits where instantaneous trip action is required. This interrupter is ideal for applications requiring dependable, fast motor protection without nuisance tripping from motor inrush currents.
Compatibility & Replacements
The ED63A002 is a non-interchangeable member of the Siemens ED-frame family and is compatible with standard ED6 mounting hardware and line/load connectors (sold separately). It is designed to work immediately ahead of motor starters per standard industrial practice. For identical replacement or stock management, verify the exact amperage and pole configuration. Related motor circuit interrupter sizes include the ED63A025 (2.5A) and other ratings within the ED6-ETI product line.
