GE 7098 - Cutler Hammer 9800 Unitrol - Breaker MCC Bucket - 400 A, 480 V, 42" Height, 3 P | AmpState

GE 7098 Cutler-Hammer 9800 Unitrol Breaker MCC Bucket — a purpose-built 400 A, 480 V, 3-Pole module designed to slot into GE 7098 motor control centers. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this MCC bucket serves as a direct replacement or retrofit unit for existing GE lineups, delivering reliable protection and centralized motor control for essential plant operations.

Designed for performance in heavy-duty electrical systems, the bucket stands 42 inches tall, providing the exact height and mounting fit your GE 7098 center requires. The 3-Pole configuration aligns with standard 480 V three-phase feeders used for large motors, pumps, conveyors, and fans across manufacturing, mining, water treatment, and energy sectors. This is not a generic add-on—it's a purpose-built component that integrates with the Unitrol control architecture to maintain coordinated protection and control.

• 400 A, 480 V, 3-Pole rating: supports substantial motor loads with headroom for startup surges and inrush energy management.
• 9800 Unitrol series: part of GE’s trusted control-and-protection lineage, designed for dependable motor control in demanding environments.
• Direct replacement or retrofit: engineered to drop into existing GE 7098 MCCs with minimal wiring changes, reducing downtime and installation complexity.
• 42 inches in height: standardized form factor that fits seamlessly into vertical MCC configurations without sacrificing workspace or accessibility.
• OEM compatibility: specifically tailored for GE 7098 centers, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and electrical enclosure integrity.

Why this bucket matters for your operation: it delivers consistent, reliable motor protection and control within a familiar GE 7098 framework, helping you preserve system performance while simplifying upgrades or retrofits. By choosing a purpose-built MCC bucket from the Unitrol family, you minimize integration risks and maintain coordination between protection relays, control circuits, and motor starters.

Ideal for facilities with large, demanding motors and critical loads, including manufacturing lines, material handling systems, pumps, fans, and processing equipment. It’s also a smart choice for plants upgrading aging MCCs or expanding capacity, where a precise 400 A, 480 V, 3-Pole solution can deliver the reliability needed for continuous operation.

• Use cases: retrofit an aging GE 7098 row to restore performance, replace a failed bucket without reconfiguring the entire MCC, or standardize across multiple lines with a uniform 400 A, 480 V protection scheme.
• Practical benefits: reduced downtime during swaps, straightforward compatibility with existing wiring trays, and a clean, modular upgrade path that supports future scalability.

Installation and compatibility tips: confirm the 480 V three-phase supply and verify alignment with the existing 7098 center’s spacing and mounting points. Because this bucket is designed as a direct replacement, order continuity and spare parts availability from AmpState help minimize stockouts and delays during critical outages.
