Eaton AHMC340L-1 Manual Motor Controller - cULus Listed

40A at 600V capability is a core feature, enabling direct control of most standard three-phase motors without an external starter. The business impact is lower installed cost and faster panel wiring, reducing commissioning time and field errors. This combination is well-suited for industrial environments where reliable motor control is essential for manufacturing lines and process equipment. The compact footprint and durable construction support repeatable performance across shifts and crews. In addition, compatibility with common control wiring sizes, such as #14-4 AWG, minimizes the need for rewiring during upgrades. With three-pole, three-phase operation and maintained contact, start-stop sequences are predictable and safe. The design reduces risk of unexpected motor starts and eases integration with existing control logic, even in upgrade projects. Designed for panel mounting, AHMC340L-1 integrates cleanly into control enclosures while meeting common industrial standards. The toggle switch provides clear tactile feedback and simple operation, helping operators avoid mis-positions during routine maintenance. This configuration supports reliable motor control in conveyors, pumps, fans, and other automated equipment. An indoor-rated NEMA 1 stainless-steel enclosure provides rugged protection against dust and incidental moisture. The side-wired box lug termination and copper-alloy terminals simplify field wiring and ensure secure torqueing under vibration conditions. These features translate into faster commissioning, lower rework, and improved reliability in busy production environments. The stainless-steel enclosure also offers long-lasting durability in factory floors and machine shops, reducing maintenance intervals and part replacement needs. Glass-filled nylon components contribute to durability inside a compact package, while the enclosure's stainless steel body resists corrosion in typical plant environments. The 2-position, single-throw operation delivers straightforward start/stop control with clear visual feedback. This unit ships with cULus listing and NAFTA compliance, streamlining procurement and regulatory audits for North American operations. Side wiring and copper-alloy terminals with brass screws improve electrical integrity and serviceability, supporting quicker field terminations and easier fault tracing. Overall, AHMC340L-1 offers an industrial-grade motor control solution that balances rugged construction with practical wiring methods and standards compliance. It supports scalable three-phase control across a range of applications from general machinery to automated lines, delivering dependable performance and a clear return on investment for panel builders and end users. When selecting a controller for high-availability systems, this Eaton model provides a proven balance of protection, ease of install, and long-term serviceability. With a weight of 1.63 lb and compact dimensions (approximately 4.67 in L, 4.42 in H, 2.63 in W), it fits neatly into compact control panels without sacrificing accessibility for maintenance.
