The 3-pole, 20A circuit breaker in an FD frame with 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral delivers targeted protection with a streamlined wiring path, reducing fault risk and simplifying panel layouts. This translates to measurable uptime gains and lower commissioning costs as modular plug-in units can be swapped without extensive rewiring. For data centers and manufacturing lines, the unit’s high interrupt rating of 65 kAIC at 240V, 25 kAIC at 480V, and 18 kAIC at 600V ensures robust fault clearance while minimizing collateral damage to downstream equipment. Installation advantages include a compact footprint (12.36 in L × 21.2 in H × 5.43 in W) that fits tight busway enclosures, and 25 lb weight that eases handling during retrofit. Compatibility with Pow-R-Way III Busway and FD frame type supports seamless upgrades and standardized procurement. Engineers benefit from IEEE/CSA/ANSI UL 857 compliance, which streamlines approvals, reduces risk, and supports ongoing maintenance programs. The neutral option at 100% guarantees balanced three-phase loads, while grounding at 50% internal provides essential fault path integrity in dense industrial layouts.
