MCP0358R - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP0358R - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you're matching a motor circuit protector for existing equipment, the catalog number is only the beginning. The MCP0358R is a 7 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector rated at 600VAC. It uses magnetic-only operation with an instantaneous setting and a specified 18–58 amp trip range. When the required specifications match, the MCP0358R can be considered a form, fit, and functional replacement candidate. Its solid construction is built to last when selected, installed, and maintained correctly.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 7-amp, 3-position configuration has clearly defined electrical characteristics, making it easier to compare with an existing motor circuit protector.
• The MCP0358R operates purely magnetically and has an instantaneous setting.
• The specified trip range is an important checkpoint when matching the protector to the application.
• The 600VAC rating is a key voltage specification to check against the existing electrical equipment.
• Standard aluminum alloy terminals are included; the supplied terminal material is clearly indicated, making it easier to verify the required configuration.

Where It Works Best

The MCP0358R motor circuit protector is a suitable replacement for existing or older electrical equipment that requires a 7-amp, 3-pole Type MCP protector with a 600VAC rating, magnetic-only operation, and an instantaneous trip range of 18 to 58A; however, since this model has standard aluminum alloy terminals, it is necessary to verify the terminal requirements of the existing application during the selection process.
