Product FAQs
7 answersWhat protection does the Eaton HMCP250J5WD01 provide for a motor circuit?
This motor circuit protector uses a magnetic-only, instantaneous trip to respond to short-circuit current without an intentional delay. Use it as the short-circuit protection element in a motor circuit with separate overload protection.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip help with motor starting?
The adjustable magnetic trip lets you set the current threshold for instantaneous tripping. Select the setting to accommodate motor starting current while meeting the circuit's short-circuit protection requirements.
How should I use the 250A rating when selecting this motor circuit protector?
The HMCP250J5WD01 has a rated current of 250A. Use that rating in motor-circuit sizing, and evaluate the magnetic trip setting separately because the current rating is not the adjustable trip threshold.
Can this motor circuit protector be selected for AC or DC service?
It is rated 600VAC and 250VDC. Select it against the applicable AC or DC circuit voltage, keeping within the rating for that type of power.
What do the three poles mean for a three-phase motor circuit?
The three poles provide a current path for each phase conductor in a three-phase circuit. Plan the line and load connections around those three phase paths.
What dimensions should I use when planning the mounting layout?
The HMCP250J5WD01 measures 4.13 in wide, 10 in high and 4.06 in deep. Use all three dimensions when planning the mounting layout and physical space allocation.
What connections are used at the line and load terminals?
Both line and load terminal connections are 0.250-20 Imperial. Line terminals receive incoming power, and load terminals feed the motor circuit, so plan terminations on both sides around this connection size.
