• Industrial-grade performance: Handles standard motor starting and distribution needs at 40 A in a 480 V three-phase system.
• Space-efficient design: 6" tall frame preserves aisle space and cabinet real estate in busy switchgear rooms.

Ideal for whom and how to use it

• Maintenance engineers and electrical contractors upgrading or maintaining plant MCCs.
• OEMs configuring new assembly lines that rely on reliable, Eaton-compatible components.
• Plant managers seeking predictable replacement parts that minimize downtime during maintenance windows.
• Projects requiring a proven, compatible bucket for 3-pole motor control protection in 480 V systems.

Installation and lifecycle considerations

• Verify compatibility with your specific Five Star Series 2100 model and 3-pole configuration before installation.
• Plan for standard wiring practices in three-phase, 480 V service and follow all site safety protocols.
• Use as a ready-to-install spare bucket to reduce downtime during routine maintenance or motor upgrades.
• Consider pairing with matched Eaton protection devices and conductors to ensure cohesive performance across the MCC.
