Feature → 3‑Pole, 15A protection with an E frame design. This combination delivers precise coordination and reliable tripping for each leg of a Pow-R-Way III busway, reducing the likelihood of widespread outages in mixed-load facilities. Application: install in 3‑pole sections of industrial busways where fast fault interruption and compact form factor are required. Business impact: improves uptime and protects sensitive automation equipment by ensuring consistent breaker performance under normal and fault conditions. Feature → 50% Internal Grounding and 100% Neutral. This grounding arrangement simplifies wiring schemes and reduces stray neutral currents, lowering the risk of nuisance trips and uneven loading. Application: dense control cabinets and modular busway layouts where wiring density demands straightforward grounding paths. Business impact: faster wiring, simpler maintenance, and more reliable fault sensing across feeders. Feature → IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 with NEMA compliance. This certification bundle reduces regulatory risk and accelerates project approvals. Application: projects in manufacturing plants and facilities subject to strict standards. Business impact: easier audits, smoother vendor qualification, and improved customer confidence for system integrators. Feature → High interrupt ratings: 18 kAIC at 240 Vac, 14 kAIC at 480 Vac. This capability enables robust fault current handling in medium-to-high energy environments. Application: protective front-ends for factory power distribution where surge and short-circuit events are expected. Business impact: reduced equipment damage, minimized downtime, and enhanced system resilience. Feature → Dimensional and weight specifications: 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width, 25 lb. This footprint supports straightforward installation and compatibility with standard enclosures. Application: retrofit or new builds using Pow-R-Way III busways where space planning is critical. Business impact: faster installation, predictable fit, and lower enclosure modification costs.

FAQs
This plug-in unit is designed for 3-pole segments within a Pow-R-Way III busway. Start by isolating the section, verify voltage ratings, and mount the unit in the designated breaker slot. Connect the three phase conductors to the breaker input and route the neutral through the 100% neutral path. Ensure grounding is configured per the 50% internal grounding option and secure the unit with compatible hardware. After wiring, test coordination with adjacent sections to confirm proper tripping and alignment with system protection settings.
