Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces water ingress risk and speeds maintenance, translating to less downtime and safer field connections in wet locations. Three-pole F-frame construction provides robust protection for busway power feeds and supports 20A circuits with high interrupt ratings, improving system reliability in critical infrastructure environments. Grounding options of 50% integral or housing simplify field wiring and enhance fault current performance, reducing installation time and wiring errors. The unit’s compliance with NEMA, IEEE, ANSI, UL 857 and CSA standards minimizes procurement risk and accelerates project approvals, while the plug-in format enables modular expansion and easy part replacement. Its compact dimensions and Sprinkler-proof features make it compatible with dense panel layouts and retrofit projects without extensive rework. Finally, the included warranty and Eaton support reduce lifecycle risk and provide long-term operational peace of mind for maintenance teams.

FAQs
Begin by confirming compatibility with your busway assembly and verify the three-pole configuration matches the circuit load. Mount the plug-in unit into the designated breaker slot, secure wiring connections per the installation diagram, and ensure the 50% integral grounding option is properly bonded if selected. Finally, perform a functional test to confirm correct tripping when the rated current is exceeded and verify sprinkler-proof seals are intact.
The device is a 20A, three-pole breaker with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC. It is designed for busway distribution and includes a sprinkler-proof plug-in design. Grounding options include 50% integral or housing, and it carries NEMA compliance along with IEEE, ANSI, UL 857 and CSA certifications.
