Overview

The Littelfuse MPU-32-04-00 Motor Protection Unit (MPU) delivers advanced current and temperature-based protection for three-phase low-voltage motors up to medium horsepower. The MPU-32-04-00 operates across a wide input voltage range of 65–265 V AC (25 VA) or 80–275 V DC (25 W), with a power-up time of 800 ms at 120 V AC and 100 ms minimum ride-through. It features true RMS and DFT AC measurements with 16 samples per cycle, positive/negative sequence analysis, and three programmable Form C output contacts. Communication is enabled via standard RS/TIA-232 with optional TIA-485, DeviceNet, or Ethernet interfaces. An analog 4-20 mA output provides programmable metering, while an onboard 100-event data logger records faults and operational data. Ideal for automotive, food processing, water treatment, material handling, and general industrial automation, the MPU-32-04-00 protects pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, and other critical motor-driven equipment.
