Eaton - Cutler Hammer - Westinghouse 5 Star Series Breaker MCC Bucket is a purpose-built solution for industrial motor control centers that demand dependable, single-source power distribution for three‑phase loads. This 30" tall bucket is designed to fit the Eaton/Cutler Hammer/Westinghouse 5 Star Series MCC lineups, delivering a precise 100 A, 240 V, 3-Pole configuration that you can count on for demanding manufacturing, processing, and automation environments.

Why this MCC bucket is a standout choice

• Exact fit for 5 Star Series MCCs: Engineered as a direct replacement or retrofit unit, it aligns with the existing footprints, buswork, and mounting patterns of your current 5 Star Series installation, minimizing downtime and wiring changes.
• Clear, reliable three‑phase protection: With a 100 A, 240 V, 3-Pole rating, this bucket supports medium‑to‑large motor loads and control circuits, helping you protect critical equipment such as pumps, conveyors, fans, and compressors.
• Standardized, rugged form factor: At 30" in height, it maintains consistent spacing within the MCC lineup, making maintenance and replacements straightforward and predictable in busy industrial settings.
• Strategic retrofit value: Replacing aging MCC components with this 5 Star Series bucket can extend the life of your existing control centers, reduce wiring improvisations, and streamline spare‑part inventories.
• Backed by AmpState support: AmpState provides retrofit solutions and industrial motor control components with global delivery and technical support, helping you source, install, and service quickly.

This MCC bucket is more than a component—it's a strategic upgrade for facilities that rely on stable motor control performance. It’s ideal for upgrading legacy MCCs that still operate on 5 Star Series architecture, ensuring compatibility while delivering the reliability required by continuous‑duty applications.

Ideal use cases and who benefits most

• Manufacturing floors with legacy 5 Star Series motor control centers seeking a reliable, drop‑in replacement.
• Industrial plants undergoing equipment upgrades where downtime must be minimized and control center alignment must be preserved.
• Facilities performing retrofits to improve maintenance planning, spare parts consistency, and module interchangeability within MCC lineups.
• Systems that require durable, three‑phase protection for motors and control circuits up to 100 A per pole.

Practical considerations for installation and operation include verifying busbar alignment with existing MCC components, ensuring compatible mounting hardware, and adhering to your facility’s lockout/tagout procedures during retrofits. While this bucket is designed for seamless replacement in 5 Star Series lineups, always confirm the exact configuration and mounting details with your maintenance team before procurement and installation.
