Three-pole, K-frame design aligns with Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway modules, enabling plug-in installation that speeds commissioning and reduces wiring complexity. This configuration delivers robust protection for multi-pole feeders and motor circuits, supporting clean power distribution in industrial facilities. Amperage rating of 175A with high interrupt capability provides a clear performance margin for mid-range busway currents. In practical terms, this helps facilities withstand sudden faults without unnecessary tripping, improving uptime and reducing emergency maintenance costs. Interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac give engineers confidence in high fault-current environments. This translates to fewer spare breakers and easier compliance with utility and safety guidelines. Neutral option of 100% and grounding choices at 50% integral or housing ground simplify wiring and grounding plans. The plug-in unit therefore integrates smoothly with modern busway schemes and reduces installation risk. Compliances with NEMA, ANSI/IEEE, CSA, and UL 857 provide a clear path to regulatory approval in global projects. Procurement teams benefit from standardized specifications and fewer qualification cycles, while system integrators enjoy consistent performance across installations. Physical footprint—13.29 in depth, 34.41 in height, 7.79 in width, and 53 lb weight—fits common electrical room enclosures and busway housings. Its plug-in design supports fast field replacement and straightforward compatibility with existing K-frame housings.
