HMCP400A5C - 400Amp Motor Circuit Protector Description

HMCP400A5C - 400Amp Motor Circuit Protector

When you’re replacing a motor circuit protector, the details matter. The Eaton HMCP400A5C is a 400-amp, three-pole motor circuit protector from the Series C family, built for applications that use the J-K frame configuration. It has a 350–700A magnetic trip range and is rated for a maximum of 600V AC or 250V DC. Line and load terminals are included, with non-aluminum terminal material. Just as important for replacement work, the HMCP400A5C has clearly defined dimensions—10.13 inches high, 5.5 inches wide, and 4.1 inches deep—so you can compare the unit against the equipment already in place.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 400A rating: Designed for applications requiring a 400-amp motor circuit protector.
  • Three-pole design: Matches equipment configured for three-pole motor protection.
  • 350–700A magnetic trip range: An important specification to verify when replacing an existing unit.
  • J-K frame: Helps identify the correct physical and application fit.
  • Series C configuration: Part of Eaton's established Series C product family.
  • Voltage ratings: Rated for a maximum of 600V AC and 250V DC.
  • Line and load terminals: Configured with non-aluminum terminal material.
  • Known physical dimensions: Makes checking available space and replacement fit more straightforward.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HMCP400A5C is UL Listed and CSA Certified, two key details to consider when matching a replacement motor circuit protector to the requirements of an existing electrical installation.

The unit is supplied with line and load terminals made with non-aluminum terminal material. Because replacement applications depend on more than just a catalog number, the frame, voltage, amperage, trip range, pole configuration, terminals, and physical dimensions should all be checked against the existing equipment before installation.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HMCP400A5C makes the most sense in existing motor control and electrical equipment that specifically requires a 400A, three-pole, Series C motor circuit protector with a J-K frame. That makes it particularly useful for maintenance and replacement work where keeping the original equipment configuration intact is important.

For a proper match, compare the existing unit with the HMCP400A5C specifications—especially the 400A rating, 350–700A magnetic trip range, three-pole configuration, J-K frame, and 600V AC / 250V DC maximum voltage rating. Terminal configuration and physical dimensions should also be checked.
