MCP331000RC - 100Amp Motor Circuit Protector

MCP331000RC - 100Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you replace a motor circuit protector, a matching amp rating isn't enough. The MCP331000RC is a 100 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector with magnetic-only operation and an instantaneous trip range of 275–1000 amps. When those specifications correspond with the application, the MCP331000RC can be considered a form, fit, and functional replacement candidate. Solid construction makes it built to last when correctly selected, installed, and maintained.

Key Features and Benefits

• 100 Amp, 3-Pole Configuration: Clearly defined electrical characteristics help simplify comparison with an existing motor circuit protector.
• Magnetic-Only Operation: The MCP331000RC uses the magnetic-only trip configuration specified for this model.
• 275–1000A Instantaneous Trip Range: Provides a specific trip-range value to check against the existing equipment's requirements.
• Non-Aluminum Terminals Included: This RC configuration specifically includes non-aluminum terminals, helping distinguish it when matching terminal requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The supplied specifications state that the MCP331000RC includes non-aluminum terminals. No specific terminal material beyond "non-aluminum" was provided, so it would be inaccurate to identify the terminals as copper or another particular material without additional documentation.

Where It Works Best

The MCP331000RC motor circuit protector is best considered for compatible existing or legacy electrical equipment that requires a 100 amp, 3-pole Type MCP motor circuit protector with magnetic-only operation. Compatibility checks should include the 600VAC rating, 275–1000A instantaneous trip range, and the requirement for the supplied non-aluminum terminals.
