• Plug‑in compatibility: Engineered to align with standard Type W bus connections and mounting patterns, preserving existing wiring arrangements and interlocks.
• Durable for industrial environments: Built to withstand the vibrations, temperature swings, and dust typically found in manufacturing floors and process facilities.
• Reliable supply: AmpState’s global delivery network helps keep project schedules on track by sourcing and shipping this MCC bucket efficiently.

Ideal use cases

• Retrofits of aging Type W MCC blocks where a like-for-like, high-current breaker bucket is required
• New installations needing a 250 A, 480 V, 3-phase protection solution within a Type W MCC frame
• Maintenance cycles for facilities with heavy motor loads in manufacturing, packaging, and processing environments

Practical considerations and tips

• Verify the 42" frame height and three-pole configuration to ensure seamless integration with existing Type W MCC frames.
• Confirm electrical ratings (250 A, 480 V, 3-Phase) match the motor load and upstream protection schemes.
• Plan for a straightforward retrofit by coordinating with your control panel documentation and wiring harness layouts.
• When ordering, reference the Eaton Type W MCC bucket designation to ensure you’re receiving the exact form factor and mounting pattern required.
• Store replacements in their original packaging and handle with care to protect contact surfaces and lugs prior to installation.
