Three-pole protection with a 45A amperage rating provides targeted guardrails for three-phase busway circuits, delivering essential protection while enabling scalable installations. Business impact: improved fault containment and reduced risk to downstream equipment; application: industrial power distribution where space and modularity matter. High interrupt ratings—65 kAIC at 240Vac, 25 kAIC at 480Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600Vac—mean the unit can safely interrupt high fault currents across common plant voltages. Business impact: enhanced safety margins and fewer nuisance outages; application: heavy-duty manufacturing and process facilities with mixed voltages. Grounding options at 50% internal grounding simplify installation in retrofits and new builds, reducing wiring complexity and potential ground loops. Business impact: quicker commissioning and cost savings on grounding components; application: busway environments requiring robust yet straightforward grounding. Compact dimensions (12.36 in L, 21.2 in H, 5.43 in W) and a 25 lb weight enable easier retrofits and minimized service footprint. Business impact: reduced installation time and space requirements; application: retrofit projects and crowded electrical rooms. Compliance with NEMA, CSA, UL 857, and ANSI/IEEE standards assures design integrity and regulatory alignment. Business impact: lower risk of non-compliance penalties and smoother approvals during audits. Warranty terms of one year from installation or 18 months from shipment provide project-level protection for procurement decisions. Application: long-term asset lifecycle planning with supplier support.
