HMCP250L5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP250L5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you’re replacing a motor circuit protector, getting the details right matters. The Eaton HMCP250L5 is a 250A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector built around a Frame J configuration. It has a 1125–2250A magnetic trip range and is rated for applications up to 600V AC or 250V DC. Line and load terminals are included in the specified configuration. Just as important for replacement work, the HMCP250L5 measures 10 inches high, 4.13 inches wide, and 4.06 inches deep, so you can compare both its electrical ratings and physical dimensions with the equipment already in place.

Key Features and Benefits

• 250A rating for compatible motor protection applications
• Three-pole design for equipment requiring this pole configuration

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCP250L5 is UL Listed and CSA Certified. These certifications provide useful documentation when confirming whether the component meets the requirements of a particular installation or maintenance project.

When replacing an existing unit, it’s worth checking more than the 250A rating. Compare the catalog number, Frame J size, three-pole configuration, magnetic trip range, voltage rating, terminal arrangement, and physical dimensions with the requirements of the equipment being serviced. That extra check can prevent a seemingly similar part from being mistaken for the specified component.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCP250L5 makes the most sense in existing motor-control and electrical equipment designed for a 250A, three-pole, Frame J Series C motor circuit protector with a 1125–2250A magnetic trip range. It’s particularly relevant when maintaining legacy equipment where matching the original form, fit, and electrical function is the priority.
