Used Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (Mpcb) in Wisconsin, USA

Overview

Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (MPCB) are compact protective devices that combine overload, short-circuit, and phase-failure protection for electric motors. They monitor motor current and trip when conditions exceed set limits, preventing winding damage and reducing downtime. MPCBs are used in industrial panels, motor starters, and machinery control systems where reliable, adjustable protection and easy reset are required.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used MPCB?

Verify rated current, short-circuit breaking capacity, trip curve, compatibility with your motor and starter, visible wear or damage, part numbers, and whether functional tests or service records are available.

How should an MPCB be shipped to avoid damage?

Ship in sturdy, well-padded packaging or a crate; protect terminals, keep it dry, immobilize moving parts, label fragile electronic components, insure the shipment, and include datasheets and serial numbers.

What routine maintenance does an MPCB need?

Perform periodic visual inspections, clean dust from contacts and heat sinks, check tightness of connections, test trip function and calibration, and replace aging units or damaged contacts as recommended by the manufacturer.
