Eaton Five Star Series 2100 - Breaker MCC Bucket - 225 A, 480 V, 18" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Engineered for Eaton Five Star Series 2100 motor control centers, this Breaker MCC Bucket delivers dependable, scalable power distribution for demanding industrial environments. With a 225 A rating at 480 V three-phase, it effectively handles motor starting currents and peak loads while maintaining precise control and safety. The 18" vertical frame fits standard Five Star 2100 bays, enabling seamless retrofits, OEM replacements, and customizable MCC configurations with minimal downtime.

• Brand: Eaton
• Model: Five Star Series 2100
• Type: Breaker MCC Bucket
• Ampere Rating: 225 A
• Voltage: 480 V (Three-phase, 60 Hz)
• Height: 18"
• Application: Industrial Motor Control / Retrofit / OEM Replacement

What makes this MCC bucket unique is how it unlocks flexibility in existing systems. It’s designed to integrate with Eaton Five Star Series 2100 infrastructure, so you can modernize or expand your motor control capabilities without a full panel redesign. Whether you’re upgrading outdated equipment, replacing a failed bucket, or assembling a custom MCC configuration for a new project, this bucket provides a reliable, drop-in fit that aligns with bus bars, feeders, and protection schemes used in industrial facilities.

Ideal for:

• Industrial facilities requiring reliable 225 A protection at 480 V for motor control centers
• Retrofits that minimize downtime by matching the footprint and interface of existing Five Star 2100 bays
• OEM replacement projects where maintaining original electrical characteristics is critical
• Custom MCC configurations that need a consistent, scalable breaker bucket module

How it compares to broader replacements:

• Targeted upgrade: replaces a single breaker MCC bucket rather than the entire MCC, saving space, time, and cost.
• Preserves system integrity: aligns with three-phase 60 Hz operation and existing protection schemes to ensure smooth integration.
• Modular flexibility: supports future expansions or reconfigurations in a modular MCC layout without reengineering the entire enclosure.

Practical tips for deployment:

• Verify the existing MCC bay matches the 18" vertical frame and 3-pole configuration for a trouble-free installation.
• Confirm bus bar alignment and connector compatibility with your Eaton Five Star Series 2100 setup to avoid misalignment during retrofit.
• Plan labeling and documentation to reflect 225 A, 480 V, three-phase service, ensuring quick commissioning and safe operation.
