Ideal use cases

Whether you're modernizing an aging motor control center, replacing a failed MCC bucket in a live facility, or planning a staged upgrade to the Advantage lineup, this bucket offers a proven path to consistent performance. It's well-suited for applications where 3-pole protection at 225 A and 208 V is required—think pumps, fans, conveyors, and compressors in manufacturing, mining, and processing plants.

Why choose this MCC bucket over alternatives

What sets this unit apart is its targeted compatibility with the Advantage family and the proven reliability of Westinghouse, Cutler Hammer, and Eaton components. Rather than a generic replacement, it integrates seamlessly with existing field devices, reducing installation time and minimizing wiring changes. The 18" height preserves enclosure density while maintaining robust protection for motor circuits. For retrofit projects, this bucket minimizes downtime, enabling quick swaps and easy forecasting of spare parts inventory.

Installation tips and considerations

Before swapping in a replacement, verify that the existing MCC bucket pattern matches the 18" height and 3-Pole configuration, and confirm the bus connection geometry aligns with your panel. If you’re performing a retrofit, plan for a brief shutdown window to ensure safe handling of lugs and terminations. AmpState’s technical support is available to guide you through proper mounting, wiring checks, and testing procedures to validate protection and coordination with upstream devices.
