General Electric 8000 Series 80A Motor Circuit Protector - 480V/3P
80A MCP | 480V/3P | Magnetic-Only Trip | Motor Branch Protection
This General Electric 8000 Series 80A motor circuit protector MCC bucket provides magnetic-only instantaneous trip protection, field-proven across thousands of installations. Rated at 480V and 80A, 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, delivering reliable performance under the most demanding load conditions. Deployed across airport facilities, hospital critical power, and campus electrical systems, 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.
