HMCPE030H1C - 30Amp Motor Circuit Protector

HMCPE030H1C - 30Amp Motor Circuit Protector

The Eaton HMCPE030H1C is a 30A, three-pole Series G motor circuit protector designed for your motor protection applications that require its specific electrical and physical characteristics. It is rated at 480V, uses a T98 trip type, and has a 90–300A magnetic trip range. For anyone replacing an existing motor circuit protector, those numbers are worth checking closely. A part can look right and still have the wrong trip characteristics or electrical rating.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The Eaton HMCPE030H1C is UL Listed and CSA Certified. Eaton specifies non-aluminum terminal material for this model. For additional compliance information, the manufacturer's specifications direct users to contact the manufacturer.

Certifications are important, but they're only part of choosing the right replacement. The electrical ratings, trip characteristics, frame size, pole count, terminal material, and dimensions should also comply with the equipment requirements.

Where It Works Best

The HMCPE030H1C motor circuit protector is intended for compatible commercial and industrial motor protection applications that require its specific 30A, three-pole Series G configuration. It makes especially good sense in maintenance and replacement situations where an existing system was designed around these specifications.

If you're matching an installed unit, start with the HMCPE030H1C catalog number and then work through the details. Check the 30A rating, 480V rating, T98 trip type, 90–300A magnetic trip range, three-pole configuration, Frame J-K size, terminal material, and physical dimensions. It's a simple checklist, but it helps avoid selecting a component based on appearance alone.
