Three-pole, 30A rated with an E-frame design provides targeted protection for three-phase busway circuits, simplifying coordination with upstream protective devices and reducing nuisance trips for critical loads. This translates to improved line reliability and lower maintenance costs in continuous-operation facilities such as automotive assembly, metal fabrication, and process plants. The unit’s IEEE and CSA certifications, plus ANSI and UL 857 listings, offer regulatory confidence and faster approvals for capital projects and retrofits in regulated industries. Its compact dimensions—12.36 in deep, 21.2 in high, and 5.43 in wide—coupled with a 25 lb weight, enable easier installation and retrofit in space-constrained panels common in modern facilities, supporting scalable power distribution upgrades without costly enclosure modifications. With 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral compatibility, you get safer fault management and simpler wiring schemes during upgrades and expansions. The unit’s 18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC interrupt ratings provide robust protection for high-short-circuit environments typical of heavy industry, minimizing damage during faults. Proven compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways reduces installation time and error risk, while the plug-in design simplifies maintenance and component changes during routine service. Operators gain drift-free protection coordination, leading to fewer operational interruptions and improved total cost of ownership in long-run power distribution strategies.
