Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design enhances safety in fire-suppression environments, reducing the risk of compromised protection during maintenance or reconfiguration and enabling faster retrofit projects in facilities with sprinkler systems. Business impact: improved uptime and reduced retrofit costs in manufacturing and processing plants; application: sprinkler-protected busway installations where quick, safe plug-in protection is needed. Pow-R-Way III architecture simplifies busway integration, delivering faster installation and fewer wiring connections, which translates to lower labor costs and quicker project turnover. Application: new builds and expansions in automotive, metal, and chemical processing facilities seeking scalable power distribution. The unit’s three-pole F-frame breaker rated at 30 A with 100 kAIC at 240/480 VAC and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC provides strong fault protection for high-demand equipment operating on multiple voltages. Application: machine trains and conveyors with diverse power requirements. Grounding options offer 50% integral or housing grounding, easing mounting in confined spaces and simplifying compliance with grounding practices. Application: compact switchgear enclosures and tight plant layouts where ground fault reliability matters. Certifications including UL 857, CSA, IEEE, and ANSI standards validate compliance across regulated markets, reducing procurement risk and speeding qualification. Application: purchasing for regulated facilities with strict certification requirements. Dimensions and weight enable precise space planning: 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width, and 25 lb weight support straightforward mounting and enclosure compatibility. Application: retrofits and new installations where enclosure fit is critical.
