Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design provides safe, field-replaceable protection in sprinkler-rated environments, reducing installation risk and downtime while simplifying maintenance in critical facilities. This contributes to improved safety compliance and faster fault isolation in busway layouts, enabling technicians to swap modules without rewiring. The 30A amperage rating with 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC delivers robust short-circuit protection for compact power distribution footprints, supporting reliable operation of motors and drives in plant floors and data centers. Three-pole, F-frame construction with 50% integral/housing grounding offers dependable three-phase protection and flexible grounding options, streamlining integration with existing busway systems and minimizing grounding complexity. The plug-in design, coupled with NEMA compliance and compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways, reduces installation time and potential wiring errors, while the sprinkler-proof feature adds resilience in safety-critical applications. Certifications (UL 857, IEEE, CSA, ANSI) simplify procurement and regulatory alignment, helping aerospace, food & beverage, and manufacturing environments maintain compliance without vendor lock-in. The included warranty (one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment) provides added assurance for long-term return on investment.
