Three-pole F-frame plug-in unit delivers 100 A of current with a 40 kAIC interrupt rating at 220-240 Vac, providing decisive fault protection for busway-fed feeders. This combination minimizes arc energy exposure and helps maintain uptime in demanding automation environments. It supports modular power distribution in industrial facilities, switchgear rooms, and data centers where space is at a premium. Neutral integrity is enhanced by 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Grounding, simplifying grounding design and reducing the potential for unbalanced fault paths across multi-branch busway arrays. This translates to safer operation, easier code compliance, and fewer field adjustments during commissioning. The solution integrates smoothly with control panels and automatic transfer schemes, minimizing wiring errors and installation time. Vertical hanger capability supports space-efficient installations and fast swaps, enabling technicians to align breakers within tight panel bays without disassembling busway sections. This reduces downtime during maintenance and expands future expandability as load profiles shift. The plug-in format also simplifies stocking and warranty servicing, helping procurement teams streamline parts management on large projects. Compliance with ANSI/IEEE certification, UL 857, CSA certification, and NEMA compliance underpins risk management for regulated environments. Designers can specify this unit with confidence, knowing it meets industry standards and integrates with existing protective schemes without extensive rework. Practical dimensions and weight enable predictable fit within busway assemblies: 12.36 inches deep, 21.2 inches tall, 5.43 inches wide, and about 25 pounds. This sizing supports straightforward retrofits and reduces enclosure changes, while the 100 A rating aligns with common distribution blocks. Pair with standard accessories for a consistent, serviceable protection strategy. Warranty and service support are built into procurement planning: Eaton’s policy offers a one-year limited warranty from installation or an 18-month term from shipment. This clarity helps maintenance budgets and reduces lifecycle risk by ensuring timely replacements and access to genuine parts, even across large, multi-site rollouts.
