Three-pole Pow-R-Way III design fits standard plug-in slots in busway systems, delivering consistent three-phase protection. Business impact: reduces commissioning time and minimizes the risk of miswiring during installation. Applications: panel builds, modular busway layouts, and retrofit feeders in manufacturing and process facilities. High interrupt ratings provide robust short-circuit protection across voltages: 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac. Business impact: safeguards equipment, minimizes downtime, and lowers risk of arc-flash incidents. Applications: large motors, presses, pumps, and other high-inrush loads in heavy industry. 50% integral or housing grounding options simplify grounding schemes and reduce separate grounding hardware. Business impact: lowers installation costs and simplifies compliance with site grounding practices. Applications: panel assemblies and busway configurations where flexible grounding is required. Plug-in unit with compact dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and 25 lb weight enhances installation efficiency and reduces shipping footprint. Business impact: fewer site constraints, quicker replacements, and easier inventory management. Applications: modular power distribution in space-constrained facilities and retrofit projects. Certifications and compliance (ANSI IEEE, UL 857, CSA, NEMA) support regulatory adherence and facilitate procurement. Business impact: faster project approvals, reduced QA cycles, and improved supplier accountability. Applications: any code-compliant panel or busway installation in North American facilities. Warranty options (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) provide clear protection against manufacturing defects. Business impact: lowers risk during initial operation and supports total cost of ownership goals. Applications: enterprise-level facilities with long procurement cycles and strict uptime requirements.
