GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol - Breaker MCC Bucket - 400 A, 240 V, 48" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Engineered for heavy‐duty industrial motor control, the GE 7098 Breaker MCC Bucket in the 9800 Unitrol series is a purpose-built solution for demanding facilities. Designed to operate at 400 A, 240 V, 3‑pole configurations, this bucket delivers reliable switching and protection for large motor loads within GE 7098 motor control centers. It’s a true direct replacement or retrofit option, helping you modernize or refresh your MCC lineup without a full system overhaul.

• Configuration: Breaker MCC Bucket, 3‑Pole
• Rating: 400 A, 240 V
• Bucket Height: 48 inches
• Series: GE 9800 Unitrol
• Compatibility: Fits GE 7098 motor control centers for a seamless retrofit or replacement

Why this matters in real-world operation

In industrial environments—whether in manufacturing lines, pumping stations, or large conveyors—uptime and protection of critical motors are non‑negotiable. The 400 A rating handles substantial plant loads, while 240 V operation pairs with common three‑phase power systems found in industrial sites. The 48" bucket height aligns with standard MCC racks, reducing installation friction and ensuring reliable mechanical fitment.

Key benefits include:

• Downtime reduction through quick retrofits: Replace aging MCC buckets without reconfiguring your entire control center. This unit is designed for straightforward installation into existing GE 7098 ecosystems, so you can minimize outage time during maintenance or upgrades.
• Precise compatibility for dependable protection: As a direct replacement in the 9800 Unitrol family, it preserves the protection scheme and trip logic your plant relies on, avoiding the need for reprogramming or revalidation of downstream controls.
• Flexible deployment for upgrades: Retrofit older MCC setups to support higher motor starting requirements, improved protection coordination, or modernization initiatives—while keeping common spare parts and tooling familiar to your technicians.
• Designed for harsh industrial environments: Built to withstand the demands of continuous operation, with robust construction that stands up to temperature, dust, and vibration typical of large facilities.

Who should consider this breaker MCC bucket?

• Facilities running large, energy-intensive motors in manufacturing, water treatment, mining, or material handling.
• Maintenance teams looking to refresh aging GE 7098 MCCs with a reliable, exact-fit replacement.
• Engineering projects aiming to retrofit existing motor control centers for improved reliability and coordinated protection across the plant.
