Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCP250D5C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. The manufacturer's published information directs users to contact the manufacturer for additional compliance details.

As with any replacement electrical component, certification is only part of the compatibility check. The catalog number and applicable electrical and physical specifications should also match the requirements of the equipment in which the motor circuit protector will be installed.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCP250D5C makes sense for existing or legacy motor protection equipment specifically designed around a 250A, three-pole, Frame J-K Series C motor circuit protector with a 500–1000A magnetic trip range.

For replacement projects, start with the full HMCP250D5C catalog number rather than assuming another 250A device will be interchangeable. Then compare the frame, number of poles, voltage, trip range, terminals, and physical dimensions with the existing equipment.
