HMCP250A5C - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP250A5C - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you’re replacing a motor circuit protector in existing equipment, the details matter. The Eaton HMCP250A5C is a 250A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector built for Frame J-K applications. It has a 350–700A magnetic trip range and maximum voltage ratings of 600V AC and 250V DC. For maintenance and replacement work, HMCP250A5C is a practical choice when the existing equipment calls for this exact configuration. Before installation, check the catalog number, frame, trip range, pole count, voltage rating, terminals, and physical dimensions. That extra check helps ensure the replacement provides the required form, fit, and function.
