MCP0358CR - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP0358CR - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

Although a 7 amp motor circuit protector may seem simple, replacing it requires more than matching the amperage. The MCP0358CR is a 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector rated at 600VAC, having magnetic-only operation and an instantaneous trip range of 18 to 58 amps. For existing and older electrical equipment, you must match the amperage, number of poles, voltage, trip characteristics, terminals, and dimensions to determine whether this is the correct replacement. If it meets all these requirements, the MCP0358CR can be considered a form-, fit-, and functional replacement.

Key Features and Benefits

• In the 7A, 3-Pole arrangement, the electrical characteristics are clearly defined so that the MCP0358CR can be matched with compatible equipment.
• Magnetic-Only Trip: The protector uses magnetic-only operation with an instantaneous setting.
• 18–58A Instantaneous Trip Range: A key trip characteristic to compare with the existing motor circuit protector and application requirements.
• The rating is 600 volts AC, giving maintenance personnel and electrical professionals a clear voltage rating to check when selecting a replacement.
• The MCP0358CR is supplied with non-aluminum terminals, and the precise metal or alloy is not stated and should not be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The MCP0358CR motor circuit protector is most appropriate for use when evaluating it in existing or older electrical equipment that requires a 7A, 3-pole Type MCP protector with magnetic-only operation, an instantaneous trip current range of 18 to 58A, and a voltage rating of 600VAC; furthermore, the non-aluminum terminals provided should correspond to the requirements of the existing application.
