B-LINE HMCP050K2C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the Eaton HMCP050K2C, and is it a standard thermal-magnetic breaker?
The HMCP050K2C is a motor circuit protector from Eaton's Series C line. A motor circuit protector is a magnetic-only device: it provides short circuit protection for a motor branch circuit and is used together with an overload relay in a combination starter, rather than on its own as a general-purpose thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. If you need overload protection as well, that has to come from the starter's overload element.
2) Is HMCP050K2C the full part number I should order, or is there a suffix to specify?
HMCP050K2C is the complete Eaton manufacturer part number, and it is the only model offered under that designation. There are no finish, trim or suffix choices to add on the order line, so quote and order it exactly as HMCP050K2C.
3) How much space do I need in the enclosure for an HMCP050K2C, and how heavy is it?
Plan on roughly 8 x 5 x 5 inches for the Series C motor circuit protector, and about 4.5 lb of weight. That footprint matters when you are laying out a combination starter bucket or a control panel back plate, so check it against your available gear space before committing the enclosure size.
4) Where do I find the trip settings and interrupting ratings for the HMCP050K2C?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the HMCP050K2C, and it is linked directly from the product information. That document is the place to confirm the adjustable magnetic trip range, voltage ratings and interrupting capacity before you size it to a specific motor's locked rotor current.
5) Is the HMCP050K2C an Eaton part or a B-Line part?
It is an Eaton Series C motor circuit protector. B-Line is an Eaton brand, so you will see the part catalogued either way, but the device itself carries the Eaton HMCP designation and the Series C family identification.
