MCP0358RC - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP0358RC - 7Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you're replacing the MCP0358RC, pay attention to several key features: 7 amps, three poles, 600VAC, magnetic-only operation, and an instantaneous trip current range of 18 to 58 amps. This motor circuit protector also has non-aluminum terminals, which you should verify against the equipment currently in use.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 7A rating means it has a rated current of 7 amperes, providing a clear specification for use with existing equipment.
• When assessing a replacement motor circuit protector, the three-pole design is another important criterion.
• The MCP0358RC is described as a magnetic-type device with an instantaneous setting.
• The specified instantaneous trip range helps verify that the trip characteristics match the current application.
• The rating is 600VAC, as stated in the provided product specifications.
• The terminals are not aluminum: this model includes non-aluminum terminals, though the specific terminal material is not given, so it cannot be assumed.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The specifications indicate that the MCP0358RC has terminals that are not made of aluminum. Although the exact terminal metal or alloy is not specified, no further assumptions about the material composition should be made.

Where It Works Best

The 7A, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector known as the MCP0358RC is most suitable for use with existing or obsolete electrical equipment and should have a 600VAC rating, operate solely on a magnetic principle, and provide an instantaneous trip current within the range of 18 to 58A; additionally, the non-aluminum terminals that come with it must correspond to the terminal requirements of the application in question.
