3-Pole, 100 A protection with an ED Frame Type enables standardized protection across multiple feeders, improving reliability and simplifying wiring during installation. This consistent platform reduces design errors and speeds up commissioning when adding new circuits, making it ideal for evolving power distribution layouts in manufacturing facilities. In practice, technicians can plug this unit into existing Pow-R-Way III busway layouts without reconfiguring adjacent components, shortening both installation and maintenance windows. The 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC provides high fault-current capability, reducing the likelihood of cascading faults and enabling faster clearance. This resilience supports medium to heavy-duty industrial feeders where fault currents can be substantial, improving overall plant availability. Grounding Options of 50% Integral/Housing simplify instillation wiring and enhance safety in crowded switchgear environments, especially where space is at a premium. The NEMA compliant design plus IEEE CSA ANSI UL 857 certifications offer regulatory confidence and vendor risk reduction, while the compact footprint (12.36 in deep, 21.2 in high, 5.43 in wide) and 25 lb weight ease installation and replacement in constrained spaces. Compatible with Pow-R-Way III systems, ED frame designs streamline spare-part strategies and field service planning for large installations.
