Motor Branch Circuit applications include manual motor controller, disconnect means, combination of controller and overload protection and a combination of controller and motor disconnect means.

The new line features six different trip characteristics (B, C, D, E, F, G and Z) available in 1, 2, 3 pole and 1 or 3 pole + neutral configurations. All trip curves offer electrical ratings from 0.3A to 60A/ 480Y/277VAC. UL listed MMCs are intended for general use and can be used in place of UL recognized supplementary protectors.
