FAQs

What is the primary function of an auxiliary switch like the NHI-E-11-PKZ0?

An auxiliary switch provides additional contacts that mirror the status of the main circuit breaker (e.g., tripped, on, off). These contacts can be used for remote signaling, control interlocking, or status indication in a larger electrical system.

Can this auxiliary switch be used with AC circuits?

The Eaton NHI-E-11-PKZ0 is rated for 250 V DC. While it might function in low-power AC control circuits, it is primarily designed and rated for DC applications. Always consult the detailed specifications for your specific AC application.

What does '1 maker, 1 breaker' contact type mean?

This typically refers to 1 normally open (NO) contact and 1 normally closed (NC) contact. The NO contact closes when the main breaker is in a certain state (e.g., ON), and the NC contact opens in that same state.

What is the maximum switching capacity?

The maximum switching current for this auxiliary switch is 2 A.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range is from -25 °C to +55 °C.

How is the auxiliary switch mounted?

It is designed for recess mounting and easily plugs onto compatible Eaton PKZM0 series circuit breakers.

Is this compatible with circuit breakers from other brands?

No, this auxiliary switch is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Eaton PKZM0 series and related Eaton circuit breakers.

Troubleshooting

Auxiliary switch not providing expected contact signal.

Verify that the auxiliary switch is correctly seated on the circuit breaker. Check wiring connections to ensure they are secure and connected to the correct NO/NC terminals. Confirm that the associated circuit breaker is in the expected state (e.g., ON, OFF, Tripped).

Device does not fit onto the circuit breaker.

Ensure you are using a compatible Eaton circuit breaker model from the PKZM0 series or a listed compatible series. Check for any obstructions on the mounting points of either the breaker or the auxiliary switch.

Wiring terminal is loose.

Carefully tighten the screw terminal using an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the terminal. If the terminal is stripped or damaged, the unit may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances existing circuit breaker functionality with additional contacts.
  • Designed for neat and secure recess mounting.
  • Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.
  • Compatible with several Eaton PKZM0 series devices for flexibility.
  • Provides reliable DC voltage and current switching for control circuits.

Cons

  • Limited to specific Eaton PKZM0 series breakers; not universally compatible.
  • Maximum switching current of 2 A may be insufficient for some high-power signaling.
  • Requires separate purchase and installation; not integrated into the breaker itself.
  • DC-only operation limits its use in AC control circuits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Eaton NHI-E-11-PKZ0 is designed for plug-on mounting. Ensure the compatible Eaton circuit breaker is de-energized before attempting installation. Align the auxiliary switch with the designated mounting points on the side of the circuit breaker and push firmly until it clicks into place. Connect the control wiring to the appropriate terminals on the auxiliary switch according to your circuit diagram.

Compatibility: This auxiliary switch is specifically designed for use with Eaton PKZM0, PKZM01, PKZM4, PKZM0-T, PKM0, and PKE series circuit breakers. Always verify compatibility with your specific circuit breaker model before purchase and installation.

Care: Keep the auxiliary switch clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive environments. Periodically inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear. No user-serviceable parts are inside; any damaged units should be replaced.
