Product Category
Plug
The Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit features a three-pole F-frame design that enables quick plug-in installation on busway systems, reducing commissioning time and field wiring complexity. This translates to measurable business impact: faster project timelines and lower labor costs during panel assembly and retrofit projects, making it ideal for automated manufacturing lines. In operation, the 150A amperage rating paired with an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC delivers reliable fault interruption during transient faults, increasing equipment protection and reducing unplanned downtime in critical processes. The 50% integral/housing grounding option simplifies grounding schemes while improving fault path clarity and code compliance in hazardous environments. Its compact footprint, with dimensions of 12.36 in length, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width, supports dense panel design without sacrificing accessibility for maintenance.
