Crouse Hinds Circuit Breaker Question

[Beamer]

My Crouse Hinds Panel's label notes choice of allowed breakers to be Crouse Hinds Type MP, MH or MM, 1, 2, or 4 pole.
I am looking at a breaker (Crouse Hinds brand) and the packaging calls it MP250., 2 pole 50 amps, Style MP.
The question comes in looking at the breaker's label as it notes Type "MP-C".
What does the "C" designate?
Would that affect its' meeting the specs on on the panel label?

Crouse-Hinds Load Center breaker replacement

Hi All, What available circuit breakers would be accepted replacements for the Crouse Hinds load center - picture of label is attached below. From a 2002 UL letter (this forum) it looks like a Crouse Hinds MP breaker can be replaced by Murray Type MP-T. Another UL letter posted here states...

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately my label doesn't list they type (BR) discussed in the linked thread.

Do you know what the "C" designates in my original posting?
I am not finding information on that digging around but I am hoping it will fit the bill.

No, not sure. Possibly "compatible"

Contact Siemens, they are the successor to the Crouse-Hinds, & Murray line, Murray was both the predecessor, and successor, to Crouse-Hinds distribution equipment, it reverted to the Murray name when Siemens bought it until they discontinued the whole Murray line. A lot of Crouse-Hinds, panels were listed for ITE, EQ-P, & EQ-T, breakers, which Siemens is also the successor company.

as said above, murray or siemens should work but reach out to siemens to verify

The C could mean a lot of things, none of which will affect your installation.

I use mostly square D stuff so I'm familiar with their part numbers.

Using a basic 1 pole 20 amp as an example, the part number would be QO120.

A QO 120VH would have an interrupting rating of 22,000 amps as opposed to the standard 10,000 amps. The QH120 is 65,000 amps.

A QO120HM is a 'high magnetic' breaker. It will trip at a higher instantaneous load than a standard model. Useful for motors close to a high capacity source.

The QOB120 is the bolt-on version.

There's a good chance that the C will work just fine for what you're using it for.
