Eaton P3 Series Switchable Neutral Conductor Module N-P3Z (064805)

Switchable neutral conductor module engineered for independent neutral switching in industrial power distribution. This accessory integrates directly with Eaton P3 series main switches and load disconnectors, providing a dedicated 1-pole neutral path that can be opened or closed separately from the main contacts. The snap-on side mounting design allows quick installation without tools, while screw terminals accept conductors up to 50 mm² for secure, low-resistance connections. Rated for operational currents up to 320A in line with the associated P3 switch, the module ensures compliance with IEC/EN 60947 standards and maintains IP20 terminal protection, making it suitable for control cabinets and machinery safety circuits where neutral isolation is required.

Advantages

The N-P3Z module simplifies compliance with regulations that demand switchable neutral conductors in three-phase systems. Its compact 1-module width (approx. 17.5 mm) saves valuable DIN rail space, and the grey/black thermoplastic housing resists impact and temperature extremes from -25°C to +50°C. By using the same screw terminal technology as the P3 main switch, it ensures consistent torque settings and reduces installation errors. The module's independent switching capability allows maintenance personnel to isolate the neutral for testing or safety without affecting phase conductors, enhancing operational flexibility and worker protection.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels with Eaton P3 main switches up to 320A
• Power distribution boards requiring neutral isolation per IEC/EN 60947
• Machinery safety circuits where neutral must be switched separately
• Retrofit projects needing a compact neutral switching solution
• Electrical installations in harsh environments (temperature range -25°C to +50°C)

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the N-P3Z with an Eaton P3 main switch of matching frame size. Verify terminal torque according to the switch's installation manual and ensure the module is snapped securely onto the side of the device. Use only in environments within the specified temperature range and provide adequate enclosure protection to maintain IP20 at terminals. This module is essential for systems where neutral switching is mandatory for safety or code compliance.
