The 225 A amperage rating accommodates sizable load demands in plant feeders, reducing the need for oversized spares and boosting reliability. This directly translates to fewer voltage drops and smoother motor starting, especially on heavy-duty busway runs where space is at a premium. The interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac protect equipment during short circuits, reducing downtime and safeguarding critical assets on high-current manufacturing lines. With 100% neutral and 50% integral or housing grounding, grounding schemes are simplified while maintaining a robust fault path, improving safety and reducing wiring complexity in complex busway layouts. The Pow-R-Way III design paired with a three-pole, K-frame construction standardizes mounting and enables quick plug-in replacement, cutting maintenance time and improving uptime across busy distribution rooms. Compliance-focused features include UL 857, CSA, IEEE, and ANSI certifications with NEMA compliance, which lowers procurement risk and ensures regulatory alignment for industrial facilities. The compact footprint—13.29 in length, 34.41 in height, and 7.79 in width with a 53 lb weight—facilitates installation in space-constrained busway enclosures and simplifies inventory management for OEMs and contractors.
