Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces exposure to environmental contaminants and simplifies field maintenance, delivering safer, faster commissioning and reduced downtime in sprinkler-protected facilities. Business impact: improved reliability and reduced service calls during startup and routine tests; application: busway networks in warehouses and manufacturing floors. High interrupt ratings ensure robust fault protection; 65 kAIC at 240 Vac minimizes damage during short circuits, translating to lower component damage costs and safer electrical feeds for critical loads. Business impact: lower Total Cost of Ownership through enhanced protection; application: high-current busway circuits and critical motor feeders. 100% Neutral with 50% integral grounding provides balanced fault paths and streamlined grounding strategies. Business impact: easier grounding audits and enhanced personnel safety; application: multi-pole distribution sections with mixed loads. Three-pole, Frame F design delivers compact yet rugged plug-in integration while supporting 20A circuits in distributed power blocks. Business impact: flexible deployment in modular panels; application: low-voltage feeder assemblies. Compliance and certifications—NEMA, CSA, IEEE, UL 857, ANSI—support regulatory alignment and customer acceptance. Business impact: faster procurement approvals and fewer design reviews; application: aerospace, food and beverage, and general industrial facilities. Dimensions and weight (12.36 in L × 21.2 in H × 5.43 in W, 25 lb) enable straightforward mounting in standard busway enclosures. Business impact: predictable installation planning and reduced handling risk; application: retrofits and new builds with space constraints.
