B-LINE HMCPL600M6G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton HMCPL600M6G motor circuit protector have thermal overload protection, or just magnetic trip?
It is a motor circuit protector, so it provides instantaneous magnetic trip only, with an adjustable magnetic trip range of 3000 to 6000A. There is no thermal element, which means overload protection has to come from the overload relay in the motor starter. An MCP is only applied as part of a listed combination motor controller, not as a standalone branch breaker.
2) Will an LG-frame MCP fit where I currently have a smaller Eaton frame breaker?
No, not directly. The HMCPL600M6G is an LG-frame device measuring 15.75 by 7.75 by 7.13 inches and weighing 16.25 pounds. Frame sizes are not interchangeable in a starter or panel interior, so a mounting position prepped for a smaller frame (F or J, for example) will not accept it. You need an enclosure or starter section built for the LG frame.
3) What size motor is a 600A HMCPL600M6G motor circuit protector used with?
It is a 600A continuous rating on an LG frame, so it is sized for large three-phase motors, typically NEMA Size 5 and 6 starter applications. The deciding number is the magnetic trip setting rather than the amp rating: the adjustable range is 3000 to 6000A, and that setting is chosen against the motor's locked rotor current so the protector rides through starting inrush without tripping.
4) Is the magnetic trip on this Eaton Series G MCP field adjustable?
Yes. The trip point is adjustable across 3000 to 6000A, so the same device can be set to suit different motors within that band. Set it after the motor is known, using the nameplate locked rotor amps, then verify it holds on start.
5) What exact part number should I order for the 600A Series G motor circuit protector?
Order Eaton part number HMCPL600M6G. It is a single catalogue item, three-pole, 600A, LG frame, in the Series G line, with no handing, trim or finish options to specify.
