PowerPact H- and J-frame electronic Motor Circuit Protectors (MCP) are magnetic-only
instantaneous-trip circuit breakers. They are designed to offer short circuit protection and
are Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and National Electrical Code (NEC) compliant when
installed as part of a combination controller having motor overload protection. MCP circuit
breakers accept the same accessories and terminals as the equivalent thermal-magnetic
circuit breakers.
Determine the hp rating from the nameplate of the motor. Select a MCP with an ampere
rating recommended for the hp and voltage involved. When using the automatic settings the
MCP microprocessor automatically adjusts the trip settings for both current and time to
align with the start-up characteristic for the motor type, whether it is a standard or energy-
efficient motor. This includes a dampening means to accommodate a transient motor in-
rush current without nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker.

◆ Based on 2005 NEC Table 430.250.
★ Per NEC 430.3, part-winding motors should select two circuit breakers, each at not more than one-half the allowable
trip
setting
for the horsepower rating. The two circuit breakers should operate simultaneously as a disconnecting
means per NEC 430.103.
▼ Listed voltages are rated motor voltages. Corresponding system voltages are 200 Vac, 220–240 Vac, 440–480 Vac
and 550–600
Vac. Select wire and circuit breakers based on horsepower rather than nameplate full-load current per
NEC 430.6 (A) for general motor applications.
Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR)
Tested to meet NEC and UL508A requirements for short circuit current ratings as part of an
approved combination controller.
