Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of trip unit is installed in the HMC3800?
This breaker is equipped with a solid-state electronic trip unit featuring fixed Long-Time and Short-Time (LS) functions. Unlike standard thermal magnetic breakers, this microprocessor-based Seltronic trip unit provides precise coordination for heavy industrial environments.
What equipment is the HMC3800 designed to fit?
It is a legacy MC frame component built for use in older Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, and Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What is the modern replacement for the HMC3800?
The HMC3800 is an obsolete legacy breaker. For new installations or direct replacements where the legacy MC frame is no longer required, Eaton has replaced this model with the HMDL3800 series.
Does this circuit breaker require a rating plug?
Yes, because it utilizes a Seltronic electronic trip unit, the HMC3800 requires a compatible rating plug to establish the maximum continuous current and ensure accurate overcurrent protection.
Can the HMC3800 be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker is designed with reverse feed capabilities, allowing it to be wired in either direction for flexible installation in industrial power systems.
What internal accessories are compatible with this breaker?
This MC frame breaker supports various internal accessories, including shunt trips, undervoltage releases, auxiliary switches, and alarm switches for advanced control and monitoring.
