Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces nuisance trips and speeds field swaps, enabling quick snap-in maintenance while keeping protection intact in sprinkler environments. This translates to lower downtime, faster changeouts, and safer, code-compliant busway runs in industrial facilities. The three-pole F-frame configuration ensures consistent coordination with upstream protection devices, supporting reliable feeder protection across complex layouts and dense equipment rooms. With 40A amperage rating and high interrupt ratings (200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, 35 kAIC at 600 Vac), you gain robust fault clearance without oversizing, optimizing cost and energy usage. NEMA compliance and UL/CSA certifications provide regulatory assurance, reducing qualification effort on projects and during audits. The Pow-R-Way III design offers modularity, easier installation, and compatibility with standard busway systems, delivering a faster time-to-value for new builds and retrofit projects alike. Real-world installations benefit from sprinkler-proof plug-in capability, which minimizes service interruptions and simplifies preventive maintenance in critical power paths.
