Schneider Electric PA-1600RC Trip Unit Column

Schneider Electric Square D PA-1600RC is a 1-pole, 1600 A rating column (rating plug) designed for P-frame circuit breakers and intended for use with PAF2036 and PHF2036 devices. This thermal-magnetic trip unit column carries UL and CSA approvals, supports a 1600 A plug current rating, and is rated for 600 VAC, making it suitable for high-current distribution panels. The accessory specifies a 2000 A maximum breaker current rating and an adjustable instantaneous trip range from 3500 to 9000 A, allowing selective coordination in demanding applications. As a P-frame type rating column, the PA-1600RC integrates with Square D/Schneider Electric rating plugs to define the breaker’s trip characteristics within compatible PAF/PHF 1-pole assemblies without altering the base device’s form factor.
