The three-pole, 15A rating with 18 kAIC at 240 Vac delivers fast, reliable fault interruption, minimizing equipment damage and downtime in high-current scenarios. This translates to measurable improvements in line uptime and safety, particularly in dense busway configurations where fault clearing speed matters. With 100% neutral, balanced load sharing is achieved across all poles, improving conductor utilization and trip coordination in complex distribution schemes. Grounding options of 50% integral/housing simplify termination and reduce wiring complexity during installation, while the NEMA compliance and UL 857/ANSI/IEEE certifications underpin regulatory and safety assurance for your plant. The compact footprint and 25 lb weight support easier handling, quicker replacement, and reduced service crew exposure during maintenance. Compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways enables modular expansion without reworking existing protections, delivering ongoing efficiency gains in manufacturing and data-center environments. Industry-specific context underscores that this plug-in unit is well-suited for process control panels and distributed power architectures where rapid fault clearance and reliable neutral performance are critical.
