General Electric 8000 Series 40A Motor Circuit Protector - 600V/3P
40A MCP | 600V/3P | Magnetic-Only Trip | Motor Branch Protection
This General Electric 8000 Series 40A motor circuit protector MCC bucket provides magnetic-only instantaneous trip protection, built to withstand harsh industrial conditions. Rated at 600V and 40A, 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, minimizing maintenance costs while maximizing equipment longevity. Deployed across steel mills, cement plants, and large-scale commercial buildings, the 8000 Series 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.
