Cutler Hammer Molded Case Circuit Breaker has a 3 pole 150 ampere interchangeable current limiter suitable for MCP molded case circuit breaker frame types MCP motor circuit protector magnetic only trip units & circuit breakers.
What is the primary function of the EL3015RC current limiter?
The EL3015RC is an interchangeable current limiter attachment that bolts to the load end of a Motor Circuit Protector (MCP). It provides increased interrupting capacity for the circuit breaker, allowing the combination to handle up to 200,000 A symmetrical at 600 VAC.
How does the EL3015RC coordinate with the attached MCP?
The current limiter is coordinated so that normal short circuits are cleared automatically by the MCP. The EL3015RC only functions to clear rare, unusually high fault currents, preventing damage to the system.
What happens to the circuit breaker if the EL3015RC interrupts a high fault current?
When the current limiter interrupts a severe fault, it magnetically trips the attached MCP. This action opens all three poles of the circuit breaker, preventing single-phase operation and ensuring complete circuit isolation.
What type of circuit breakers is the EL3015RC compatible with?
This current limiter is designed specifically for use with Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Motor Circuit Protector (MCP) molded case circuit breakers that feature magnetic-only trip units.
Where is the EL3015RC installed on the circuit breaker?
The EL3015RC current limiter attachment is designed to be bolted directly to the load end of the compatible MCP molded case circuit breaker.
What applications are suitable for an MCP equipped with an EL3015RC current limiter?
Adding the EL3015RC makes the MCP suitable for use in network distribution systems or other industrial applications where unusually high fault currents are available.
