Three-pole, 225 A Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit provides reliable overcurrent protection for busway systems, delivering a clear business impact through fast shutdowns and reduced fault propagation in industrial power networks. This configuration supports large, multi-load installations where durability and quick replaceability translate to measurable uptime improvements. The vertical hanger design simplifies installation, enables straightforward retrofits, and minimizes enclosure footprint in space-constrained facilities. The unit’s 40 kAIC interrupt rating at 220–240 VAC offers strong fault clearance for medium- to high-energy busway services, reducing arc flash exposure and safeguarding personnel. With 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding, it accommodates balanced three-phase loads while maintaining safe fault paths. The package’s compact dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and 25 lb weight streamline handling and field deployment, reinforcing cost-effective installation. Compliance to UL 857, CSA, ANSI, and IEEE standards lowers regulatory risk for contractors and end users alike, while the included vertical-hanger feature accelerates panel integrations and stock-keeping. In practice, this plug-in unit improves reliability for manufacturing lines and data-center power rails, enabling quicker changeouts and predictable maintenance cycles.
