Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
The three-pole Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit features a sprinkler-proof plug design that simplifies field installation and minimizes sprinkler-related safety concerns, delivering rapid protection as soon as the unit is inserted. This translates to measurable business impact by reducing commissioning time and enabling faster fault isolation on busway feeders, ultimately lowering total installed cost. The 150A amperage rating paired with 65 kAIC at 240V (and 25 kAIC at 480V, 18 kAIC at 600V) provides robust short-circuit protection for medium-sized power distribution, ensuring equipment longevity and improved system uptime in demanding environments. With a 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width footprint, this unit fits standard Pow-R-Way busway frames, supports straightforward retrofit projects, and simplifies spare-part planning. Compliance with UL 857, ANSI/IEEE, CSA and NEMA standards gives procurement teams confidence in regulatory alignment, while the 50% internal grounding feature enhances fault current handling without adding wiring complexity. Overall, the P3BFD3150GSP delivers dependable protection with installation efficiency, reducing lifecycle costs and improving safety in sprinkler-protected facilities.
