The HMCP12Y8W molded case circuit breaker from Eaton Cutler-Hammer falls within the Series C Circuit Breakers line. This device is compatible with three-phase systems and is equipped with a continuous current rating of 1200 A, ensuring it meets the demands of substantial electrical loads.
Designed for operational versatility, it has a rated voltage of 600 VAC for alternating current applications and 250 VDC for direct current use. The system is engineered to withstand significant fault conditions, featuring an interrupting capacity of 65 kAIC at 240V AC, which reduces to 50 kAIC at 480V AC and 25 kAIC at the maximum rated input of 600V AC. When used with a DC source, its interrupting capacity reaches 10 kAIC at 250V.
The HMCP12Y8W incorporates a magnetic-only trip unit, providing a reliable and rapid response to overcurrent situations. Installation is straightforward due to its bolt-on or unit mount mounting style, making it adaptable for a variety of setups. This circuit breaker effectively safeguards electrical circuits against overload and short circuits, fulfilling the stringent requirements of commercial and industrial applications.
