MCP23480CR - 50Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP23480CR - 50Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When fitting a motor circuit protector to your existing equipment, the nameplate information is important. The MCP23480CR is a 50 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector rated at 600VAC, with magnetic-only operation and an instantaneous trip range of 160 to 480 amps; this model has non-aluminum terminals, another specification to check carefully when replacing an existing unit.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 50-amp rating clearly indicates the amperage when matching the protector to existing electrical equipment.
• The MCP23480CR is set up as a 3-pole motor circuit protector.
• Magnetic-only operation: This feature provides an immediate setting using magnetic action only.
• The instantaneous trip setting provides a defined trip range that you can compare with the requirements of the present application.
• The rating is 600 VAC, and it is suitable for 600 VAC applications, provided the other electrical and equipment specifications are the same.
• The terminals included are not aluminum; this model comes with non-aluminum terminals. The precise terminal material is not stated.
• Solid construction suits the electrical application for which it was designed so long as it is properly selected, installed, and maintained.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Available information shows that the MCP23480CR terminals are not made of aluminum. Since no specific metal, alloy, or other terminal material was given, the exact material cannot be assumed merely based on it not being aluminum.

Where It Works Best

The MCP23480CR motor circuit protector suits existing or older electrical equipment that needs a 50A, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector with magnetic-only operation. Its intended use should also match the device's 600VAC rating, its instantaneous trip range of 160 to 480A, and the non-aluminum terminals which are provided.
