Three-pole F-frame design for busway protection delivers stable protection for feeder circuits, enabling cleaner panel layouts and fewer mismatch issues. This translates to faster commissioning and lower risk of nuisance trips in high-load environments. The three-pole configuration supports common busway configurations, reducing field customization and speeding up replacement. Feature: 80A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac. Business impact: Protects equipment from short-circuit surges while staying within standard busway fault levels, lowering total cost of ownership. Application: Suitable for mid-range industrial feeders and process lines. Feature: 50% integral/housing grounding option. Business impact: Simplifies grounding schemes, saves wiring time, and improves safety margins. Application: Busway installations requiring robust grounding without additional hardware. Feature: Plug-in unit design with compact dimensions (12.36 in L, 21.2 in H, 5.43 in W) and 25 lb weight. Business impact: Easier handling, faster retrofit and modular maintenance across distribution networks. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds where space is constrained. Feature: Compliance and warranty including NEMA, UL 857, CSA, IEEE, ANSI; one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment. Business impact: Ensures regulatory alignment and predictable service expectations, reducing procurement risk. Application: Heavy industrial environments demanding certified components.
