The Eaton HMCP100L3C is a 3-pole, 100A, 600V Motor Circuit Protector (MCP) from Eaton's HMCP series, engineered specifically for industrial motor branch-circuit protection. Unlike standard MCCBs, this device uses a magnetic-only trip mechanism optimized to handle motor inrush currents while providing fast short-circuit protection — making it suitable for use in motor control centres (MCCs), combination starters, and industrial panelboards and switchboards. It is not intended for residential loadcentres. The HMCP series is commonly coordinated with Eaton/Cutler-Hammer motor starters, contactors, and overload relays to form a complete motor branch-circuit assembly per CEC Section 28 requirements. Contact our team with your MCC, starter, or panelboard details and we'll confirm fit and coordination.
No. The HMCP100L3C is a magnetic-only Motor Circuit Protector, meaning it has no thermal overload element. It is specifically designed for motor branch-circuit short-circuit protection and must be used in conjunction with a separate overload relay or motor starter. It is not suitable for general-purpose branch-circuit protection of lighting, receptacles, or other non-motor loads.
In the HMCP series, the letter suffix after the ampere rating designates the instantaneous trip range (adjustable magnetic trip setting). The 'L' designation corresponds to a specific trip band suitable for the motor FLA and starting characteristics at 100A. Other trip range suffixes are available for different motor types and starting conditions. Contact Northern Breaker Group to confirm the correct trip range for your motor application.
Eaton's HMCP series has seen availability constraints in certain configurations. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find industrial breakers across our Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver locations.
