Old mcc bucket

[petersonra]

No doubt some of you have run into this problem. I have a customer with a motor control center that they want to add another bucket to. They want to add a size 5 bucket. There's room for it but cutler hammer. Doesn't make buckets for that MCC anymore.

I know there are people that make listed buckets for such things. But I don't have experience with dealing with them. Anyone care to share a good experience with such people? Or a bad one even?

Eaton purchased Cutler Hammer in the 70s and Eaton has a custom division that can make listed MCC buckets for pretty much any brand.
I had a case where I needed some GE buckets and the delivery time from GE was way too long..got custom ones from Eaton much quicker and cheaper than what I would have paid for actual GE buckets.

Eaton supports nearly every vintage of MCC ever produced under the brand names of Eaton, Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse
