ABB AMC6EBFP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I found AMC6EBFP stamped on existing ABB equipment during a retrofit. Will the replacement parts work with what is already installed?
ABB identifies the AMC6EB plus AFP3SED pairing as the direct replacement for the AMC6EBFP, so it is the upgrade path intended to keep existing installations running. Note that the replacement is a two-part combination, not a single drop-in piece, so your order needs both numbers on it.
2) The ABB AMC6EBFP part number came back as discontinued - what should I order instead?
ABB has designated the AMC6EB and AFP3SED combination as the direct replacement for the legacy AMC6EBFP wiring device, so those two part numbers are what to reference when placing a new order. The original AMC6EBFP was supplied 1 EA per unit. If you are cross-referencing an older ABB install, ordering the manufacturer-designated pair keeps you on a current ABB product line rather than a superseded number.
3) Do I need to order two separate parts to replace one ABB AMC6EBFP?
Yes. One legacy AMC6EBFP is superseded by two current ABB numbers, AMC6EB and AFP3SED. Ordering only one of the pair leaves the job short. The original AMC6EBFP was supplied 1 each per unit, so count one replacement pair per device being swapped out.
4) If I am not tied to ABB, what other wiring devices could I look at for a commercial device replacement?
Two non-ABB wiring devices to consider are the Bryant 4982, a 498 Series device rated 20A at 120-277V in brown, and the Leviton 3032-2, an extra heavy-duty industrial/specification grade device rated 30-Amp 2-pole at 120/277V AC. The Bryant sits at the 20A rating and the Leviton at 30A with a specification grade build, so the choice follows the circuit rating and duty level your opening calls for. Confirm the amperage, voltage, and configuration against the device you are pulling out before you switch brands, since the ABB AMC6EBFP is cross-referenced to the ABB AMC6EB and AFP3SED rather than to any third-party device.
5) We run a lot of heavy-cycle equipment - is there a higher duty device than a standard 20A one?
The Leviton 3032-2 is an extra heavy-duty industrial/specification grade wiring device rated 30-Amp 2-pole at 120/277V AC, which is the heavier of the two non-ABB options alongside the Bryant 4982 at 20A 120-277V. Specification grade construction is the level facilities typically standardize on for frequent-cycle industrial use. Verify the circuit is actually sized for 30A before stepping up, since the device rating has to match the branch circuit and the equipment cord cap.
6) Can I just drop a Bryant 4982 in where the old ABB part was?
Not on the strength of the cross-reference alone. ABB names the AMC6EB and AFP3SED as the replacement combination for the discontinued AMC6EBFP, and the Bryant 4982 is a separate 498 Series device rated 20A at 120-277V in brown - it is not a manufacturer-designated equivalent. If continuity with the existing ABB installation matters, stay with the ABB replacement pair; if you are willing to respecify the device, match the Bryant on amperage, voltage, and configuration to the device actually in the box.
7) My facility needs ARRA or Buy American documentation for this ABB part. Where does that come from?
ARRA and Buy American Act compliance details for the AMC6EBFP are held by ABB and released by the manufacturer on request. That is the route for a government or institutional submittal package on this part number.
8) Is there a spec sheet for the original ABB AMC6EBFP configuration?
A manufacturer spec sheet covering the original AMC6EBFP configuration is available for download and cross-reference, which is what you want when you are documenting an existing legacy install or verifying that the AMC6EB and AFP3SED pairing matches what came out of the panel.
