The 150A amperage rating directly aligns with common busway feeder requirements, enabling a compact protection solution without over‑sizing feeders or altering existing distributions. This translates to lower installation costs, reduced panel footprint, and improved overall electrical system efficiency in manufacturing lines or data centers. The circuit breaker delivers 65 kAIC at 240Vac, 25 kAIC at 480Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600Vac, providing robust fault clearance for a wide range of industrial loads while supporting uptime and equipment protection in high‑fault environments. Three-pole F‑frame design and Pow‑R‑Way III construction ensure reliable trip performance, easier field replacement, and seamless busway integration in new builds or retrofit projects. With 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground options, grounding configurations stay compliant and wiring remains straightforward, reducing commissioning time. The plug‑in unit format simplifies maintenance; technicians can swap modules quickly without extensive rewiring, driving lower lifecycle costs and faster mean time to repair. Certification, NEMA compliance, and a proven Eaton warranty further reduce risk, making this solution a dependable choice for heavy industry applications, including packaging, metals, and process automation. Dimensions and weight—12.36 in long, 21.2 in high, 5.43 in wide, 25 lb—support precise space planning and rackable integration in dense electrical rooms.
