HMCP250G5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP250G5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

The Eaton HMCP250G5 is a 250A, three-pole motor circuit protector made for Series C, Frame J-K applications. It’s the kind of component where the details on the label really matter, especially when you’re replacing a unit in equipment that’s already in service. This model has a 750–1500A magnetic trip range and a maximum voltage rating of 600V AC or 250V DC. It uses line and load terminals and measures 10 inches high, 4.13 inches wide, and 4.06 inches deep. That gives electricians and maintenance teams concrete numbers to work with when checking an existing installation. The HMCP250G5 is also UL Listed and CSA Certified.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCP250G5 is UL Listed and CSA Certified. For additional compliance information, the manufacturer's specifications direct users to contact the manufacturer.

For replacement work, certifications aren't the only details worth checking. The existing equipment should also be compared against the HMCP250G5's 250A rating, Frame J-K size, three-pole configuration, 750–1500A magnetic trip range, voltage rating, terminal arrangement, and physical dimensions.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCP250G5 is a natural fit for existing and legacy motor protection equipment that specifically calls for a 250A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector in a J-K frame. It's particularly useful in maintenance situations where the goal is to keep the existing equipment configuration intact rather than change the system's setup.
