Feature: Three-pole design, 250 A amperage rating, and 690 V voltage capability deliver reliable protection for three-phase loads. Business Impact: This combination simplifies coordination in motor control centers, reduces arc exposure, and shortens fault-clearing times, helping maintenance teams isolate issues quickly and minimize unplanned downtime. Application: Ideal for main feeders and distribution panels in heavy manufacturing, packaging lines, and process facilities where uptime matters. Feature: Screw terminals enable secure, field-terminate wiring even in constrained spaces and challenging environments. Business Impact: Fast installation with robust vibration resistance minimizes retightening cycles, thermal issues, and late-stage wiring errors. Application: Suitable for OEM builds and retrofit projects in industrial control panels, water treatment, cement plants, and materials handling. Feature: Certifications UL Listed, IEC Rated, CSA Certified provide global compliance visibility. Business Impact: Streamlines audits, reduces qualification time for projects, and supports cross-border deployment across plants. Application: Required in regulated facilities and multi-national installations where standard compliance accelerates procurement and reduces risk. Feature: Compact footprint (4.2 in depth, 5.9 in width, 8.2 in height) and a 6 lb weight support space-efficient installation. Business Impact: Lower cabinet real estate, easier service access, and simplified logistics for spare parts. Application: Retrofit and new builds in compact electrical rooms, machine enclosures, data centers, and automated lines. Feature: 25-000 warranty (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) provides protection against manufacturing defects and supports maintenance planning. Business Impact: Improves total cost of ownership by defining service expectations, enabling proactive maintenance, and simplifying procurement cycles. Application: Critical continuous-process environments where downtime penalties justify extended planning and stock management. Feature: Three-pole molded case construction with standardized mounting and screw-terminal compatibility supports efficient lifecycle management. Business Impact: Simplifies spare parts strategy and reduces mean time to repair in plant maintenance programs. Application: Mature manufacturing lines and multi-location facilities requiring consistent protection across panels.
