Notes:
In North America, electrical codes require that an individual Motor Branch Circuit be protected by a UL/CSA Listed Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Self-
Protected Combination Motor Controller.
The 140M-C, D, and F frame Motor Protection Circuit Breakers may have two cULus Listings - as Manual, Self-Protected Combination Motor
Controllers and as Manual Motor Controllers (with optional approvals for Motor Disconnect and Group Installation). Cat. No. 140M-D8V* can
also be applied at the output of a variable frequency drive (VFD) in multi-motor applications. See Application Conditions (140M-D8V) on
page 41 for more information.
When UL/CSA listed as Manual, Self-Protected Combination Motor Controllers, the 140M Motor Protection Circuit Breakers provide all of the
necessary NEC/CEC requirements for the protection and control of individual Motor Branch Circuits without additional protective devices.
At some higher voltages and currents (particularly at 600V), a few of the 140M-C, D, and F frame devices are only UL/CSA Listed as Manual
Motor Controllers (with optional approvals for Motor Disconnect and Group Installation). In NEC/CEC Group Installations, these devices must
be applied per the appropriate rules which require the use of an upstream Branch-Circuit, Short-Circuit Protective Device (BCPD).
By definition, a Type F combination motor controller consists of a Type E manual self protected combination motor controller and a magnetic or
solid-state motor controller (such as a Bulletin 100-C contactor or an SMC). As with a manual Type E self-protected combination motor controller,
additional short-circuit protection is not required for the individual motor circuits.
A combination of a Bulletin 140M manual self protected combination motor controller and 100-C contactor can be listed as a Type E self-
protected combination motor controller. In this case, both the 140M and 100-C must pass the additional 6000 electrical and 4000 mechanical
operational test. In some cases, this may require over sizing of the Bulletin 140M MPCB or the 100-C contactor to achieve weld free performance
and meet the additional life requirements.

Application Diagrams
There is only one Branch Circuit Protective Device (BCPD) for the “Group”.
Group installation has been successfully used for many years in the U.S. and Canada. It allows “two or motors or one or more motors and other loads
to be connected to the same branch-circuit…”. The most restrictive part of the conditions specified for Group Installation is the requirement for the
protection of the conductors for each motor circuit. In the U.S. NEC for 2002, a new rule for the conductor sizing was added for devices that are
listed and marked “Suitable for use as Tap Conductor Protection”.
Figure 1 shows an example that illustrates installations involving multiple motors with a single BCPD protecting the entire “Group”.
Bulletin 140M Motor Protection Circuit Breakers UL/CSA Listed for Group Installation: conductors from the BCPD to each motor must be
a minimum of 1/3 the ampacity of the Branch Circuit conductors.
Bulletin 140M Motor Protection Circuit Breakers UL/CSA Listed for Tap conductor Protection in Group Installations: conductors from
the BCPD to manual motor controller listed as “…Tap Conductor Protection…” must be minimum of 1/10 the rating or setting of the BCPD.
Conductors from the controller to the motor must be 125% of the motor FLA.

Bulletin 140M Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (MPCBs) are UL/CSA Listed as Type E Manual Self-Protected Combination Motor

short-circuit protection (as well as overload protection) for each individual motor circuit. Additional short-circuit protection is not required for the
protection of the individual motor circuits, leaving only the requirement for protection of the feeder circuit conductors by an upstream protective
device. Figure 2 shows an example that illustrates installations involving multiple motors, each with its own branch-circuit protection (BCPD).

In North America, electrical codes require that an individual Motor Branch Circuit be protected by a UL/CSA Listed Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Self-
Protected Combination Motor Controller.
The 140M-C, D and F Frame Motor Circuit Protectors are also UL/CSA Listed, together with a Bulletin 100C contactor and Bulletin 193
overload relay, as part of our Bulletin 103T and 107T Self-Protected IEC Combination Starters. These starters are then able to provide all of the
necessary NEC/CEC requirements for the protection and control of individual Motor Branch Circuits without additional protective devices.

Bulletin 140M Motor Circuit Protectors UL/CSA Listed for Group Installation: conductors from the BCPD to each motor must be a minimum
of 1/3 the ampacity of the Branch Circuit conductors. MCPs do not provide thermal protection, so a separate overload relay must be used. Because
of this, MCPs cannot be UL/CSA Listed for Tap Conductor Protection in group installations.

Bulletin 140M Motor Circuit Protectors (MCPs) are UL/CSA Listed as part of a Combination Motor Controllers or a Self-Protected
Combination Motor Controller consisting of a 140M Motor Circuit Protector, a 100-C Contactor, and a 193 Overload Relay. These UL/CSA

Cutoff Current
The Bulletin 140-M limits solid short-circuit current Icc(prospective short-circuit current). IDis the maximum cutoff current (highest
instantaneous value of the limited short-circuit current). This value is indicated in the following diagrams as a function of the progressive system

The adjustable current-dependent delayed bimetal release protects motors against overload. The curve shows the mean operating current at an
ambient temperature of 20 °C starting from the cold state. Careful testing and setting ensures effective motor protection even in the case of single
phasing. The overload characteristic is also valid for transformer protection.
The instantaneous magnetic trip has a fixed operating current setting. This corresponds to 13…14 times the maximum value of setting range.
(Transformer protection up to 20 x Ie max.) At a lower setting it is correspondingly higher.
The overload trip corresponds to a thermal overload relay in a motor starter conforming to IEC947-4-1. If a different value is prescribed (e.g.,
reduced Ie for cooling medium having a temperature higher than 40 °C or a place of installation higher than 2000 m above sea level), the setting
current is equal to the reduced rated current Ie of the motor.
