MCP03150R - 15Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP03150R - 15Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you're replacing a motor circuit protector, pay attention to the small details. The MCP03150R is a 15 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector suitable for 600VAC and operates solely on a magnetic principle with an instantaneous trip range of 50 to 150 amps. Should the equipment specify the MCP03150R and all the other factors such as amperage, voltage, number of poles, trip characteristics, terminals, and physical size match exactly, then this protector may be used as a form, fit, and function replacement.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 15 amp, 3-position setup offers simple ratings that can be compared with those of the protector being replaced.
• The MCP03150R is specified for magnetic-only operation.
• Check the instantaneous trip setting within the 50 to 150A range, as this provides a clearly defined range.
• The maximum voltage rating is 600VAC; make sure it matches the requirements of the existing equipment before installation.
• The set includes standard aluminum alloy terminals and the protector.
• The product is suitable for its intended electrical use only when the protector is properly chosen, fitted, and kept in good condition.

Where It Works Best

The MCP03150R makes sense when you're working with existing or legacy equipment that calls for this specific motor circuit protector configuration. Start with the basics: 15 amps, three poles, 600VAC, magnetic-only operation, and a 50–150A instantaneous trip range. Then check the physical size and included aluminum alloy terminals against the equipment already in place.
