GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol - Breaker MCC Bucket - 250 A, 480 V, 9" Height, 3 P | AmpState

The GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol Breaker MCC Bucket delivers dependable, three‑phase protection for demanding industrial motor control centers. Engineered for 250 A at 480 V in a compact 9" height, this 3‑pole MCC bucket fits cleanly into GE 7098 motor control centers and serves as a precise direct replacement or retrofit for aging or damaged buckets. Built to withstand the rigors of plant floors, it helps keep critical motors online with minimal downtime during upgrades or maintenance.

Highlights that drive uptime

• Configuration: Breaker MCC Bucket, 3‑Pole design for reliable three‑phase protection
• Electrical rating: 250 A, 480 V, suitable for standard industrial motor loads
• Form factor: 9" bucket height designed to integrate with GE 7098 MCCs without rework
• Series & compatibility: GE 9800 Unitrol family—direct replacement or retrofit for existing lineups
• Application fit: Ideal for industrial motor control centers requiring a robust, standardized MCC bucket solution

Why this bucket matters for your operation

• Precise compatibility — Uses the same footprint, bus arrangement, and mounting interfaces as the original GE 7098 units, enabling a seamless swap.
• Downtime minimized — As a direct replacement or retrofit, it reduces commissioning time and avoids extensive rewiring or reconfiguration.
• Reliable protection — Three‑pole switching provides balanced protection for three‑phase motors, helping prevent overcurrents and electrical faults from spreading.
• Retrofitting made straightforward — Perfect for upgrading aging MCCs or restoring performance in legacy GE 7098 setups without a full control center overhaul.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance-driven replacements in manufacturing lines, conveyors, pumps, or fans that rely on stable 3‑phase motor control
• Retrofits where an OEM bucket has degraded or failed but the surrounding MCC infrastructure remains intact
• Plant modernization projects aiming to preserve existing GE 7098 configurations while upgrading to Unitrol 9800 compatibility

Installation and practical considerations

• Verify the MCC bucket slot, bus configuration, and 9" height fitment before swapping in the GE 7098 unit
• Ensure the 250 A, 480 V rating aligns with the motor load and the overall electrical protection plan
• During retrofits, inspect surrounding components for compatibility with the 9800 Unitrol design to prevent any fitment surprises
• Post‑installation, perform a standard functional check of protection relays, interlocks, and tripping circuits to confirm proper operation
