Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCP250L5C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. Its terminals use non-aluminum material. These manufacturer-listed details can be especially important when you're matching a replacement component to the requirements of an existing installation.

As with any electrical replacement, check the complete specifications of the existing component and equipment before installation. A matching amperage rating by itself doesn't necessarily mean two components are interchangeable.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCP250L5C makes the most sense in existing motor-control applications that specifically call for a 250A, three-pole Series C motor circuit protector using the J-K frame and a 1125–2250A magnetic trip range.

It's particularly useful for maintenance and replacement work where keeping the correct form, fit, and function is the priority. Before using it as a replacement, compare the catalog number and key electrical and physical details—including frame size, pole count, voltage rating, magnetic trip range, terminals, and dimensions—with those of the equipment you're servicing.
