MCP23480R - 50Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP23480R - 50Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you're replacing the MCP23480R, only a few specifications need to match the existing equipment. This 50 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector is rated for 600VAC and operates solely on a magnetic principle, with an instantaneous trip current ranging from 160 to 480 amps.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 50 Amp, 3-Pole setup has clearly defined electrical characteristics, which makes it easier to compare the MCP23480R with an existing motor circuit protector.
• This device has a magnetic-only trip instead of using an unspecified combination of trip functions.
• The instantaneous setting has a trip range of 160 to 480 amps, providing a definite value for comparison with the application requirements.
• The device has a 600VAC rating and can be used where a 600VAC-rated MCP is required, provided all other specifications match.
• The MCP23480R comes with standard aluminum alloy terminals, so you don't need to deduce this point when carrying out a replacement assessment.
• The product's solid construction suits its intended electrical application, provided it is properly selected, installed, and maintained.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The supplied product information indicates the MCP23480R has standard aluminum alloy terminals; however, it provides no conductor range, terminal size, or further material composition, so you will need to check those details separately as needed for the installation.

Where It Works Best

The 50 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector MCP23480R is best suited for existing or older electrical equipment that is compatible, and the application should match the device's 600VAC rating, its instantaneous trip range of 160 to 480A, and its need for standard aluminum alloy terminals.
