Overview
Are you updating branch motor control systems to meet application requirements while protecting circuits from overload and short-circuit conditions? The Branch Motor Control & Protection portfolio from Allen‑Bradley provides tested, coordinated components to simplify selection and validation for scalable machine architectures.

Key Components

• Circuit breakers
• Contactors
• Overload relays
• Accessories for motor control and protection

Meet Diverse Global Standards for Motor Control
Selecting compliant combinations of components for UL and IEC standards can be time-consuming. All valid combinations in this portfolio have been tested and certified to simplify compliance and reduce validation effort for machine builders.

Complete Your Architecture
Design modular, expandable machine control architectures using intelligent, coordinated components that support modular control and future expansion.

Global Short-circuit Current Ratings (SCCR) Tool
The Global SCCR Tool lets users select Allen‑Bradley component combinations and obtain test summaries documenting coordinated SCCR ratings per IEC and UL standards, reducing effort when determining SCCR for branch circuits.

Designed as a System
Components and validated combinations are engineered and tested to work together for specific applications, delivering coordinated, tested solutions to simplify selection and validation.

Standards and Certifications
Products and validated combinations are tested and certified to major global standards (including UL and IEC) to meet application requirements and minimize validation time for machine builders.

Worldwide Sales and Support
Allen‑Bradley products in this portfolio are sold and serviced globally, enabling local availability of components and technical support.
