HMCP250C5C - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP250C5C - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you’re replacing a motor circuit protector in existing equipment, the details matter. The Eaton HMCP250C5C is a 250-amp, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector made for Frame J-K applications. It has a 450–900A magnetic trip range and is rated for a maximum of 600V AC or 250V DC. It is also UL Listed and CSA Certified. If your existing application calls for this catalog number, check the frame size, voltage, amperage, trip range, pole configuration, and dimensions before installation. It’s a practical motor protection component built to last when correctly selected, installed, and used within its specified ratings.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton HMCP250C5C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. Its terminals are identified as non-aluminum. For material compliance requirements beyond the information provided for this product, confirmation with the manufacturer is recommended.

When matching a replacement, certifications are only part of the picture. Check the complete set of application requirements—including amperage, voltage, frame size, magnetic trip range, pole count, terminal arrangement, and physical dimensions—to make sure the unit fits the intended equipment.

Where It Works Best

The HMCP250C5C makes sense in existing and legacy motor protection equipment that specifically calls for a 250A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector in the J-K frame size. It's especially relevant when maintenance work requires matching an existing component rather than changing the equipment configuration.
