B-LINE HMCP030H1C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the HMCP030H1C and what is it used for in a motor starter?
HMCP030H1C is an Eaton Series C motor circuit protector. An MCP is an instantaneous-trip circuit breaker used as the short-circuit protective device in a combination motor controller: it clears faults, while overload protection is handled separately by the starter's overload relay. It is not a general-purpose branch breaker and is intended for use in a listed combination starter assembly.
2) Can I use a motor circuit protector like the HMCP030H1C instead of fuses or a thermal-magnetic breaker for my motor branch circuit?
All three are legitimate ways to protect a motor branch circuit, but they are not interchangeable in application. An MCP trips on short circuit only and must be paired with an overload relay in a listed combination controller from the same manufacturer. Fuses or a thermal-magnetic breaker can be applied more freely as a standalone branch device. If you are not building a listed combination starter, an MCP is the wrong choice.
3) Is HMCP030H1C the exact manufacturer part number to order, and what series is it?
Order by part number HMCP030H1C. It is an Eaton Series C device, and that is the only model covered under this designation, so there are no finish, frame, or option suffixes to choose on top of it.
4) How much space and weight should I allow for the HMCP030H1C when laying out a motor control panel?
Plan on a 4.5 lb device with stated dimensions of 8 x 5 x 5 inches. Allow for that footprint plus your bus, wiring gutter, and handle mechanism clearance when you lay out the enclosure or MCC bucket.
5) Where do I find the trip range and interrupting ratings for the HMCP030H1C?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for HMCP030H1C, and it is linked directly from the product information. That document is the authority for adjustable instantaneous trip range, voltage ratings, and the horsepower and controller combinations the MCP may be applied with.
