Eaton Five Star Series 2100 - Breaker MCC Bucket - 5 A, 480 V, 12" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Power your motor control centers with precision using the Eaton Five Star Series 2100 Breaker MCC Bucket. Engineered to slot into Eaton's proven Five Star 2100 architecture, this bucket delivers controlled protection for critical motors and auxiliary circuits at a compact 12-inch vertical frame.

Key features at a glance:

• Brand: Eaton
• Series/Model: Five Star Series 2100 Breaker MCC Bucket
• Amp Rating: 5 A
• Voltage: 480 V (Three-phase, 60 Hz)
• Height: 12-inch (vertical frame)
• Phase: 3P
• Applications: Industrial motor control, retrofit projects, OEM replacement, and custom MCC configurations

This MCC bucket is purpose-built for industrial power distribution and motor control applications where reliable, modular protection matters. Its 5 A rating at 480 V makes it well-suited for protecting control circuits, feeders, or pilot devices within larger MCCs, enabling selective coordination without over-sizing the protection. The 12-inch vertical frame aligns with standard Eaton 2100 layouts, supporting straightforward integration and future expansion.

Why choose this bucket over generic solutions? Because it’s designed specifically for the Eaton Five Star Series 2100 ecosystem. The bucket’s form factor, connector geometry, and mounting provisions are aligned with the 2100 family, reducing commissioning time, minimizing modification needs, and simplifying spare parts planning for maintenance teams.

Ideal uses and scenarios

• Retrofit projects where aging MCC buckets are replaced with compatible Eaton components, preserving existing wiring schemes and bus connections.
• OEM replacement in new or rebuilt facilities, ensuring consistent performance with the Five Star 2100 line.
• Custom MCC configurations that require modular, drop-in buckets to tailor protection and control for multiple motor loads within a single MCC.

Practical considerations for installation and operation: ensure the target panel is a Five Star Series 2100 MCC, confirm three-phase 480 V compatibility, and plan for a 12-inch frame height to maintain proper alignment with adjacent buckets and bus bars. Stocking a few additional Five Star 2100 buckets can reduce downtime during future maintenance or capacity upgrades.
