MCP0322C - 3Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP0322C - 3Amp Motor Circuit Protector

The MCP0322C is a 3-amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector intended for use where only magnetic operation is required. The instantaneous setting offers a trip current range of 7 to 22 amps and the unit has a rating of 600VAC. When you're replacing it, carefully check the terminal configuration, since the MCP0322C is supplied with non-aluminum terminals. Physical dimensions are also important, particularly when working with existing or older electrical equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• The unit has a 3-amp, 3-pole setup, ensuring the MCP0322C's electrical specifications match those of compatible equipment.
• This motor circuit protector operates solely on a magnetic trip, not an unspecified thermal function.
• The instantaneous setting specified provides a trip range of 7 to 22 amps.
• The 600VAC rating provides a key voltage specification to check for the current application.
• Non-aluminum terminals are included: the MCP0322C has non-aluminum terminals, although the exact metal or alloy is not specified, so do not assume it.

Where It Works Best

The MCP0322C is best suited for existing or obsolete electrical equipment that needs a 3A, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector with magnetic-only operation and an instantaneous trip range of 7 to 22A. It has a 600VAC rating, and you should consider non-aluminum terminals to match the current setup.
