HMCP400F5C - 400Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCP400F5C - 400Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you're replacing a motor circuit protector, getting the details right matters. The Eaton HMCP400F5C is a 400A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector designed for applications requiring a Frame J-K configuration. It has a 625–1250A magnetic trip range and is rated for a maximum of 600V AC or 250V DC. The unit includes line and load terminals with non-aluminum terminal material. For maintenance teams working with existing equipment, the HMCP400F5C's clearly defined ratings and dimensions make it easier to check the replacement against the original component and equipment documentation.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton HMCP400F5C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. Its terminals use non-aluminum material. For compliance requirements that go beyond these stated certifications, the manufacturer should be consulted for application-specific information.

As with any electrical replacement component, certification is only one part of the selection process. The catalog number, frame size, amperage, voltage, magnetic trip range, number of poles, terminals, and physical dimensions should be checked against the existing equipment and applicable documentation.

Where It Works Best

The HMCP400F5C is best suited for motor control and electrical equipment that use a 400A, three-pole, Series C Frame J-K motor circuit protector with its specified 625–1250A magnetic trip range. That makes it particularly relevant when maintaining existing systems in which the replacement must match the original component's form, fit, and electrical characteristics.

If you're replacing an existing motor circuit protector, don't stop at the 400A rating. Check the complete catalog number and verify the frame size, magnetic trip range, voltage rating, pole configuration, terminals, and dimensions. Those details are what help determine whether the HMCP400F5C is the right fit for the equipment in front of you.
