Siemens - 8PX2 - Breaker MCC Bucket - 60 A, 240 V, 18" Height, 3 P | AmpState

Engineered for demanding industrial motor control centers, the Siemens 8PX2 Breaker MCC Bucket delivers dependable protection with precise fit and performance. Rated for 60 A at 240 V in a 3‑pole configuration, this bucket is designed to slide into Siemens 8PX2 MCC lineups, making OEM replacement and retrofit projects smoother and faster. If you’re upgrading protective relays, switching to a more reliable breaker solution, or refurbishing an aging MCC, this bucket provides the reliability you need without a full panel rebuild.

Key features

• Exact fit for Siemens 8PX2 MCC systems—built to integrate seamlessly with existing layouts and mounting centers.
• 60 A, 240 V, 3‑pole configuration—suitable for standard motor control protection in medium‑size industrial applications.
• 18" bucket height—designed to align with common enclosure heights, simplifying installation and preserving enclosure integrity.
• OEM replacement and retrofit‑ready—a practical choice for upgrading or modernizing legacy MCC installations without custom fabrication.
• Durable, purpose‑built construction—engineered to withstand the rigors of continuous motor control operation in harsh industrial environments.

Ideal use cases

• Retrofits and replacements in existing Siemens 8PX2 MCC setups to restore or improve protection performance.
• New installations where a 60 A, 240 V, 3‑pole breaker bucket is required within an 8PX2 MCC framework.
• Maintenance-driven upgrades for facilities aiming to standardize on Siemens components across multiple lines for easier serviceability.

Why this bucket stands out

What sets the Siemens 8PX2 Breaker MCC Bucket apart is its deliberate compatibility with the 8PX2 family, eliminating guesswork in component selection. The 18" height ensures it sits at the right elevation for common MCC enclosures, while the 3‑pole, 60 A, 240 V rating provides solid protection for motors, pumps, fans, and conveyors—all without compromising your existing protection scheme. In practice, this means faster inventory management, simpler maintenance planning, and fewer field modifications during retrofits.

Installation and practical insights

• Confirm enclosure compatibility and mounting dimensions before replacement to ensure a trouble‑free swap.
• Pair with corresponding Siemens protection devices and wiring schemes to preserve coordinated protection and selectivity.
• Document the replacement in your preventive maintenance logs to track lifecycle and spare parts planning.
