Cooper Wiring Devices AHMC240C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Cooper AHMC240C manual motor controller on a 480V three-phase motor?
No. The AHMC240C is a single-phase device, two-pole single-throw. Its 600V insulation rating covers 480V circuits, but a three-phase motor needs three switched poles, so you'd want a three-pole manual motor controller instead. Use this one on single-phase loads up to 40A.
2) Does this Cooper manual motor controller come with an enclosure, or do I need to supply one?
It ships as an open device for panel mounting, switch only. There's no box or cover included, so it has to go into a panel, enclosure, or gang box you provide. If the motor disconnect sits out in the open or in a wet area, plan on a separate enclosure rated for the location.
3) What wire size will the terminals on the AHMC240C take?
The terminals accept #14 through #8 AWG, side wired with screw and clamp. At the 40A rating you're typically landing #8 copper, which is the largest the clamp takes, so if your feeder is #6 or bigger you'll need a different controller or a transition in a separate junction box. Terminals are copper-alloy with brass screws.
4) Does this manual motor controller provide overload protection for the motor?
No. The Cooper AHMC240C is switch only, a maintained-contact toggle that opens and closes the circuit. There's no thermal overload element and no fusing in it. Overload and short circuit protection have to come from upstream breakers or fuses, or from a separate combination starter if the motor requires running overload protection.
5) Will the toggle stay where I put it, or does it spring back?
It stays put. This is a maintained closure, maintained contact toggle with two positions, so flipping it to on holds the motor circuit closed until someone flips it back. That's what you want for a manual motor switch or local disconnect, as opposed to a momentary start/stop pushbutton station.
6) Is a manual motor controller like this good enough as the local disconnect at the equipment?
For single-phase motor circuits it's the common choice: a two-pole maintained toggle breaks both legs at once, rated 600V and 40A, mounted in a panel within sight of the equipment. What it is not is an overcurrent device or a lockable safety switch by itself. If your inspector wants a lockable disconnecting means or the load is three-phase, go to a fused or non-fused safety switch instead.
7) Is the body tough enough for a dusty industrial plant?
The housing is glass-filled nylon, which is the standard build for industrial-duty wiring devices, and the device is rated for industrial application. Color is black. Since it's an open device, the dust and moisture protection comes from whatever enclosure you mount it in, not from the controller itself.
8) What's the exact part number for the Cooper 40A two-pole manual motor controller?
Order it as Cooper Wiring Devices AHMC240C. That's the 600V, 40A, two-pole single-throw maintained toggle in black glass-filled nylon, side wired for #14-8 AWG.
