FA type Mag-Gard motor circuit protectors (MCPs) can be replaced by PowerPacT MCPs, but there are some important differences. These two families of breakers have different dimensions, connection points, and accessories. Because of this, the equipment they are in will usually require some modification and, in some cases, replacement of the equipment will be necessary. Please see attached for the different dimensions.
The best cross for legacy FA type MCP to PowerPacT MCP are as follows:
Sizing is not the same and replacement will not work with existing handle operator. If in an MCC, replace the complete bucket.
FAP . . . crosses to HJP . . .
FAP . . . MT crosses to HJM . . .
FAF . . . crosses to HJF . . .
