Westinghouse GMCP030HIC U Molded Case Motor Circuit Protector

The Westinghouse GMCP030HIC U is a 3-pole, 30 A molded‑case motor circuit protector designed for 480 V industrial motor control and branch‑circuit protection. It uses magnetic‑only trip with High Interrupting Capacity (HIC) to provide magnetic short‑circuit protection for three‑phase motors installed in motor control centers, switchgear assemblies, and industrial automation systems, as well as in manufacturing equipment requiring dependable motor protection. The unit mounts on panels or MCCs and operates at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for motor starters and other motor‑driven equipment on 480 V networks such as conveyors, pumps, compressors, and HVAC infrastructure. Common replacements listed for compatibility in the GMCP family include Eaton GMCP030HIC, Allen‑Bradley 140M Motor Protector, and Siemens 3RV Motor Starter Protector.
