Eaton Five Star Series 2100 - Breaker MCC Bucket - 40 A, 240 V, 9" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Pow­erful, reliable motor control starts with the right MCC bucket. The Eaton Five Star Series 2100 Breaker MCC Bucket is purpose-built to pair with Eaton Five Star Series 2100 motor control centers, delivering consistent 40 A distribution at 240 V in a compact, 9-inch vertical frame. Built for industrial and commercial environments, this bucket is the nucleus of scalable motor control and power distribution solutions.

• Amp Rating: 40 A
• Voltage: 240 V (Three-phase, 60 Hz)
• Height (Vertical Frame): 9 inches
• Pole Configuration: 3-pole
• Type: Breaker MCC Bucket
• Application: Industrial motor control, retrofit, OEM replacement, and custom MCC configurations

Key to its appeal is retrofit friendliness. If you’re upgrading aging MCCs or performing OEM replacements, this bucket slots into existing Eaton Five Star Series 2100 frames with minimal disruption, preserving alignment with buswork, mounting points, and overall cabinet layout. The 9-inch vertical frame keeps the footprint compact while delivering robust three-phase protection and control for demanding applications.

Ideal use scenarios include:

• Upgrading legacy motor control centers in manufacturing lines, packaging facilities, or process industries without a full MCC overhaul
• OEM replacements where only the breaker bucket needs updating to restore performance and safety
• Custom MCC configurations that require reliable 40 A, 240 V distribution within a standardized 2100 frame

Why this bucket stands out: it’s designed to integrate seamlessly with Eaton’s Five Star Series 2100 ecosystem, ensuring consistent electrical characteristics, mounting compatibility, and future-proofing for expansion or reconfiguration. The specification set—40 A capacity, 240 V three-phase, 9" height, 3-pole—provides a clear, field-ready solution for reliable motor control and distribution in demanding environments.

Practical considerations for installation and use:

• Verify the MCC frame is compatible with the Five Star Series 2100 bucket and that the 9" height matches your cabinet clearance requirements
• Confirm three-phase 240 V availability and drive the appropriate protection scheme through the 3-pole bucket
• Plan for retrofit projects by aligning existing buswork and mounting hardware with the bucket’s alignment points
