FAQs
For proper installation, mount the unit as a 3-pole breaker plug-in within the Pow-R-Way III busway sections, ensuring alignment with the K-frame housing and compatible enclosure depth. Confirm 13.29 in length, 34.41 in height, and 7.79 in width fit within the designated compartment, and connect grounding per the 50% internal grounding option while leveraging 100% neutral if required by the circuit design.
This unit features a 400A amperage rating and a 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC, with lower ratings at higher voltages (100 kAIC at 480 VAC, 50 kAIC at 600 VAC). These specs indicate strong fault-current capability for rapid clearance and reduced equipment damage, suitable for heavy-duty busway feeds in industrial environments.
Yes. The product carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and UL 857 certifications, along with NEMA compliance. This combination supports regulatory acceptance, safer operation, and reliable performance in regulated industrial facilities, helping with audits and safety program requirements.
The unit uses a K-frame breaker compatible with Pow-R-Way III busways, designed for plug-in installation. Verify the enclosure supports the unit’s dimensions and confirm grounding options align with facility grounding practices. The 13.29 in L x 34.41 in H x 7.79 in W size supports compact installations while maintaining serviceability.
The plug-in design minimizes downtime during replacement, reducing maintenance labor and troubleshooting time. High interrupt ratings reduce the likelihood of arc-related damage, while 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral options simplify fault management and wiring. Together, these features support longer mean time between outages and lower total cost of ownership.
