Hello @Russ, thank you for your post!
The primary difference between MCC Model 5 and Model 6 30Amp buckets lies in their design evolution, safety features, and flexibility.
Model 5 is a legacy system that provides standard motor control functionality. It is reliable and widely used in existing installations but offers limited customization and lacks advanced safety features.
Model 6 is the modern successor, designed with enhanced modularity, easier installation, and improved safety. It includes options for arc flash protection, better wiring access, and more flexible configurations, making it suitable for environments with higher safety and performance requirements.
Both models support similar motor control functions, but Model 6 is better suited for new installations or upgrades where compliance, safety, and adaptability are priorities.
