Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCPE070M2C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. Eaton also specifies non-aluminum terminal material for this model.

Those certifications are useful, but they aren't a substitute for checking compatibility. Before installation, compare the existing equipment requirements with the protector's 70A rating, EG frame, three-pole configuration, T98 trip type, voltage specifications, and 210–700A magnetic trip range.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCPE070M2C is intended for motor circuit protection applications that require its Series G configuration. It's especially relevant for maintenance, repair, and form-fit-function replacement work where an existing installation requires a 70A, three-pole, EG-frame motor circuit protector with matching trip and voltage characteristics.
