Motor Protection Circuit Breakers for Reliable Motor Control

CNC motor protection circuit breakers provide integrated protection and manual control for three-phase motors. Also known as MPCBs, motor starter protectors or manual motor starters, they protect motors against overloads, short circuits and phase failure.

The adjustable current setting allows the device to match the motor’s rated current. CNC YCP5, YCP6 and YCP7 series are suitable for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and industrial machinery.


What Is a Motor Protection Circuit Breaker?

A motor protection circuit breaker is designed specifically for electric motor circuits. Unlike a standard MCB, an MPCB accommodates motor starting current while providing adjustable overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection.

Applicable models also provide phase-failure protection. For frequent, remote or automatic switching, an MPCB is normally combined with an AC contactor.


Integrated Protection for Motor Circuits

FunctionDescription
Overload Protection Protects against sustained overcurrent and overheating.
Short-Circuit Protection Rapidly interrupts severe fault currents.
Phase-Failure Protection Reduces overheating risk after phase loss.
Adjustable Current Matches protection to the motor rated current.
Manual Control Supports local start, stop and reset.
Circuit Isolation Allows safe circuit disconnection for maintenance.

CNC Motor Protector Product Range

CNC offers three motor protector series for different current ranges and motor control requirements.

SeriesRatingMain Features
YCP5 Up to 690V, 80A Overload, short-circuit and phase-failure protection.
YCP6 Up to 690V, 80A Integrated motor protection and circuit isolation.
YCP7 Up to 690V, 32A Compact protection for smaller motor circuits.

Select the model according to the motor rated current, operating voltage, starting conditions and prospective fault current.


Typical Applications

ApplicationTypical EquipmentProtection Focus
Water Systems Pumps and irrigation equipment Continuous-load protection
HVAC Fans, blowers and ventilation units Frequent-start protection
Compressed Air Air compressors Overload and stall protection
Material Handling Conveyors and lifting systems Blocked-load protection
Industrial Machinery Machine tools and packaging equipment Integrated motor protection

How to Select the Right Motor Protector

Do not select an MPCB according to motor power alone. Check the motor nameplate and actual operating conditions.

FactorWhat to CheckPurpose
Rated Current Motor nameplate current Select the correct adjustment range
Voltage and Poles Supply voltage and phase system Ensure circuit compatibility
Breaking Capacity Prospective fault current Ensure safe fault interruption
Starting Conditions Starting current and time Prevent nuisance tripping
Contactor Coordination Tested device combinations Improve starter safety
Environment Temperature, altitude and enclosure Apply necessary derating

Final selection should be based primarily on the motor nameplate current and verified against the manufacturer’s technical data.
