The three-pole Pow-R-Way III plug-in design delivers robust busway protection with fast, field-replaceable functionality, reducing commissioning time and downtime in critical facilities. This feature translates to improved system availability and lower maintenance costs when integrating with existing busway feeds in manufacturing and distribution centers. The unit offers interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac, enabling strong short-circuit protection across typical industrial voltages and helping machines stay productive during fault events. Grounding options provide 50% integral or housing grounding, simplifying wiring schemes and speeding up installation while meeting safety requirements for commercial and industrial environments. Designed for a compact footprint within the F frame family, it fits busway configurations without sacrificing reliability, supporting scalable protection as site needs evolve. Warranty and standards compliance—IEEE, UL 857, CSA, and NEMA—enhance regulatory alignment, supplier support, and long-term total cost of ownership, particularly in regulated sectors such as food & beverage, chemicals, and materials handling. The plug-in unit concept enables easier stock planning and spares management, reducing lifecycle costs and improving uptime in high-demand production lines.
