High interrupt rating translates to tangible business impact: 100 kAIC withstands fault currents common in large facilities, protecting busways and equipment, reducing unplanned downtime and equipment damage during fault events. This unit is rated for 240/480 Vac, with 25 kAIC at 600 Vac for critical feeders, making it suitable for mixed-voltage installations in industrial plants. The 80A amperage rating with three-pole, F-frame design ensures compatibility with Eaton’s modular busway modules, while the compact footprint (12.36 in length, 5.43 in width, 21.2 in height) and a 25 lb weight make installation straightforward in tight electrical rooms and on external busway sections. Grounding options of 50% integral or housing provide flexible protection schemes to meet site grounding requirements. The plug-in configuration minimizes downtime by enabling rapid replacement without rewiring, and the unit’s busway compatibility supports scalable distribution layouts. Compliance and certification support risk mitigation, while installation efficiency reduces lifecycle costs. Overall, the design supports reliable uptime, straightforward maintenance, and seamless integration with existing Pow-R-Way infrastructure.
