GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol - Breaker MCC Bucket - 250 A, 600 V, 12" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Engineered for demanding industrial motor control centers, the GE 7098 Breaker MCC Bucket from the 9800 Unitrol family delivers reliable, high-capacity protection and control for heavy-duty applications. Designed with a 250 A, 600 V, 3-Pole configuration and a compact 12" bucket height, this unit is built for straightforward integration into GE 7098 MCCs and can function as a direct replacement or retrofit, helping you minimize downtime and preserve existing wiring layouts.

Key advantages that set this MCC bucket apart

• Direct-fit compatibility—specifically engineered to slide into GE 7098 motor control centers, reducing installation time and field adjustments.
• High-current capacity—250 A rating handles demanding motor loads and startup surges with confidence.
• Three-pole protection—3-Pole configuration provides balanced, reliable protection across all phases for three-phase systems.
• Compact, standard footprint—12" bucket height aligns with common GE MCC dimensions, simplifying retrofits and panel upgrades.
• Renowned reliability—part of the GE 9800 Unitrol line, built for long-term performance in industrial environments.
• Retrofit-ready solution—an ideal upgrade path for aging MCC fleets, extending life without a complete panel replacement.

Why it matters in real-world operations

In facilities like manufacturing floors, pumping stations, processing plants, and large HVAC systems, motor control centers endure frequent starts, stops, and fault conditions. This MCC bucket delivers predictable protection, enabling safe isolation of faults and reducing the risk of cascading electrical issues. With a 600 V rating, it supports modern, higher-voltage drives and equipment, while the 250 A capacity provides headroom for motor starters, soft starters, or VFD interfaces often found in today’s industrial setups.
