Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces moisture exposure and corrosion risk, delivering safer operation in sprinklered facilities and enabling faster field swaps for data centers, warehouses, and process plants. This translates to measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs, while simplifying retrofits in existing busway distributions. High interrupt ratings—65 kAIC at 240V, 25 kAIC at 480V, and 18 kAIC at 600V—protect critical feeders, minimize arc-flash exposure, and support reliable operation in heavy-duty industrial circuits used in manufacturing facilities and large equipment rooms. The three-pole F-frame with 50% integral grounding options streamlines grounding strategy and compatibility with current busway frames, making installation smoother in three-phase distributions across plants, campuses, and facilities with strict grounding guidelines. Compliance with NEMA, UL 857, IEEE, CSA, and ANSI standards reduces procurement risk and accelerates audits, supporting compliance-driven projects and corporate safety programs. Measured dimensions—12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width—and a 25 lb weight simplify space planning, mounting, and field service in crowded panels and retrofit cabinets. A one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment minimizes total cost of ownership and supports service contracts for critical infrastructure.
