HMCP250W5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP250W5 - 250Amp Motor Circuit Protector

The Eaton HMCP250W5 is a 250-amp, three-pole motor circuit protector designed for use with compatible Series C and J-K frame motor protection applications. With a 1250–2500A magnetic trip range, maximum voltage ratings of 600V AC and 250V DC, and line and load terminals, the HMCP250W5 provides clearly defined electrical and physical characteristics for maintenance and replacement work. This is especially useful when you're trying to match an existing component and need the catalog number, frame, amperage, pole configuration, trip range, and dimensions to line up correctly.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton HMCP250W5 is UL Listed and CSA Certified. The manufacturer currently directs customers to contact Eaton for additional compliance information. When compliance requirements are part of a replacement project, verify that the complete equipment configuration and application meet the applicable electrical codes, specifications, and installation requirements.

Where It Works Best

The HMCP250W5 motor circuit protector is best suited to existing motor-control and electrical equipment that specifically requires its 250A rating, three-pole configuration, J-K frame, Series C design, and 1250–2500A magnetic trip range. It is particularly relevant in maintenance and replacement situations where preserving the correct form, fit, and function is more important than substituting a component based solely on amperage.
