Eaton/Cutler-Hammer Westinghouse Type W 50A Motor Circuit Protector - 480V/3P
50A MCP | 480V/3P | Magnetic-Only Trip | Motor Branch Protection
This Eaton/Cutler-Hammer Westinghouse Type W 50A motor circuit protector MCC bucket provides magnetic-only instantaneous trip protection, designed for continuous duty cycles. Rated at 480V and 50A, it is specifically designed for motor branch circuit protection per NEC Article 430. Unlike thermal-magnetic breakers, this MCP offers precise magnetic trip settings that coordinate with downstream overload relays, simplifying inventory management with standardized form factors. Deployed across mining operations, pulp and paper mills, and heavy industrial complexes, the Westinghouse Type W MCP bucket ensures Type 2 coordination when paired with compatible contactors and overload devices. Each unit ships factory-wired and tested for immediate plug-in installation with UL 508A and UL 845 compliance.
