Discover reliability built to endure demanding industrial environments with the Eaton - Cutler Hammer - Westinghouse 5 Star Series Breaker MCC Bucket. Engineered specifically for motor control centers that require a 150 A, 480 V, 3-Pole configuration, this MCC bucket delivers a precise fit and dependable performance within the 5 Star Series lineup. Its 9" bucket height is designed to integrate smoothly with existing frames, making it an ideal direct replacement or retrofit for current installations.

• Configuration: Breaker MCC Bucket, 3-Pole design to match your MCC bus arrangement
• Electrical rating: 150 A continuous current, 480 V maximum operating voltage
• Physical fit: 9" bucket height compatible with Eaton, Cutler Hammer, Westinghouse 5 Star Series frames
• Compatibility: Direct replacement or retrofit for 5 Star Series motor control centers
• Support: AmpState provides global delivery and technical assistance to keep your MCC running smoothly

Why this bucket matters in the field: upgrading to a 150 A, 480 V, 3-Pole MCC bucket within a 5 Star Series system reduces downtime and preserves the integrity of your control architecture. The design emphasizes seamless insertion, reliable contact performance, and a consistent interface with existing MCC components, so technicians spend less time on configuration and more on production uptime.

Ideal use cases include heavy-duty manufacturing lines, automated conveyors, pumping and processing systems, and HVAC or industrial automation setups where standardized motor control protection is essential. It’s particularly valuable for facilities pursuing equipment standardization across multiple lines or those performing retrofits to extend the life of aging MCCs without a full panel overhaul.

What sets this MCC bucket apart from generic replacements is its deliberate alignment with the 5 Star Series ecosystem, ensuring electrical and mechanical compatibility across the family. This means fewer surprises during installation, fewer mismatched components, and a more predictable performance profile in harsh environments.

Practical tips for deployment:

• Verify your MCC frame and bus arrangement against the 5 Star Series specifications before installation to ensure a perfect fit
• Use as a retrofit to extend the life of existing Eaton/Cutler Hammer/Westinghouse MCCs without relocating or redesigning upstream components
• Coordinate parts and spare inventory around 5 Star Series buckets to minimize downtime during future maintenance
