GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol - Breaker MCC Bucket - 400 A, 240 V, 42" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the GE 7098 Breaker MCC Bucket from the 9800 Unitrol family delivers reliable, high-capacity motor protection in a 42" tall, 3-Pole configuration. Designed to fit GE 7098 motor control centers, it serves as a precise direct replacement or retrofit option for existing lineups, aligning seamlessly with your control architecture. With a 400 A, 240 V rating, this MCC bucket provides sturdy protection for large motors, feeders, and switchgear assemblies without sacrificing system coordination.

Key benefits that matter in the real world

• High-current, three-phase protection. 400 A, 240 V in a 3-Pole configuration supports large motors, pumps, fans, conveyors, and presses with dependable short-circuit and overcurrent protection.
• Drop-in compatibility with GE 7098 frames. Specifically engineered as a direct replacement or retrofit, reducing installation risk and downtime compared with custom retrofits.
• Strategic 42" bucket height. Precisely matches GE 7098 MCC enclosures, preserving enclosure layout, bus connections, and protective coordination.
• Seamless integration with 9800 Unitrol protection schemes. Keeps protection, control, and interlocks consistent across your motor-driven applications.
• Proven reliability for demanding industrial motors. Ideal for large conveyors, pumps, compressors, and process equipment that require robust, scalable MCC protection.

Ideal use cases

• Retrofits in aging GE 7098 motor control centers to restore modern protection and control capabilities without a full-panel redesign.
• New installations in facilities with high-demand three-phase motors up to 400 A, where reliability and quick deployment matter.
• Maintenance projects where a like-for-like replacement minimizes system disruption and preserves protection coordination.

Installation and compatibility notes

• This unit is intended as a direct replacement or retrofit for GE 7098 MCC lineups. Verify that your enclosure and bus configuration match the 42" bucket height and 3-Pole, 400 A requirements before installation.
• Adhere to proper lockout/tagout procedures, electrical clearance, and applicable electrical codes to ensure a safe, compliant integration.
• Plan for coordinated protection: align upstream protections and downstream devices to maintain motor protection coordination across the drive system.
