bars. The plug-in conductor tabs extend into the plug-in
outlet, maintaining a true sandwich design throughout the 32
entire busway length.
The result is improved heat dissipation, better bracing and
elimination of the need to separate, or flare, the conductor

Silver-plating is applied to all joint and contact surfaces after 35
the fluidized bed epoxy is applied. Aluminum bus bars are
silver-plated by the Alstan® 88C process. Copper bus bars are
plated with silver by a flashing process. The silver-plating of 36
the conductor tabs provides an extremely durable contact
surface for the spring loaded connections of bus plug stab
assemblies. 37
Housing Details, See Figure 24.0-3
Pow-R-Way III is constructed with a rugged two-piece 38
extruded aluminum housing. There are no seams or welds
across the top or bottom sides of the housing. The housing
is bolted along the bottom sides below the bus bars with high 39
tensile strength zinc-plated hardware. No fastening bolts or
screws penetrate the housing or enter the bus bar package.

magnetic, all-aluminum housing provides for excellent heat 41
dissipation and a significant reduction in reactance and
magnetic flux leakage as compared to a steel or steel and
aluminum combination housing. The integrity and strength 42
of the housing ensures specifiers and users of a safe and
durable installation over a broad spectrum of industrial and
commercial applications. 43
A protective finish of ANSI 61, epoxy powder paint is applied
by an automated electrostatic process.

Balancing the phase load currents in a three-phase, four-wire
33 system will normally reduce neutral currents to zero
if load currents have an undistorted sinusoidal waveform.
However, because zero sequence harmonics are additive
34 and will not cancel each other in the neutral, the neutral
current can be as high as 1.73 times the phase current, even
with the phase currents perfectly balanced. This can result in Figure 24.0-5. Typical Installations of Pow-R-Way III in
35 overheated neutrals and lead to deterioration of equipment Fire Stop Systems
performance and a shortened equipment life cycle.
36 The Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers
Association (CBEMA) recommends that neutrals be
oversized to at least 173% of the ampacity of the phase
37 conductors to prevent problems. Pow-R-Way III offers a fully
rated, 200% neutral bus option for busway fed distribution
systems with non-sinusoidal loads. The additional neutral
38 capacity prevents the overheating caused by high harmonic
neutral currents.

Notes: 34
Voltage Drop = E3 I (R cos ø + X sin ø) Volts/100 ft (30.5 m)—concen-
trated load, where cos ø = power factor.
For plug-in distributed loads, divide the voltage drop by 2. See IEEE 35
Standard 141-13-8.3.
Actual voltage drop for loads less than full rated current and different
lengths may be calculated by multiplying the values from 36
Table 24.0-14 by (actual/rated current) x (actual length/100 ft [30.5 m]).

For plug-in distributed loads, divide the voltage drop by 2.
Actual voltage drop for loads less than full rated current and
36 different lengths may be calculated by multiplying the values from
Table 24.0-16 by (actual/rated current) x (actual length/100 ft [30.5m]).

Receptacle Plug-in Units


Eaton’s unique receptacle plug-in unit design makes them
22
the most flexible receptacle units in the industry. Pow-R-Way
III receptacle plug-in units come fully assembled and 23
wired, reducing installation time, and are built to order.
They are CSA and UL 857 listed and come in five different
configurations. 24
Fused Duplex Receptacle Unit
The fused duplex receptacle plug-in unit, shown in 25
Figure 24.0-69, allows for quick standard receptacle power at
any plug-in location along the busway. Each unit comes with
either two NEMA 5-20R duplex receptacles (catalog number: 26
P3FD62FD62F) or two NEMA L5-15R duplex receptacles
(catalog number: P3FD61FD61F). Each duplex receptacle is
rated and fuse protected at 15 or 20 A and is 120 V, single- 27
phase, three-wire.

Offsets
An offset is used to allow the busway layout, avoid any 22
obstacles and to conform to the building’s structure. It is two 12.00
(304.8)
elbows fabricated into a single fitting for use where space
restrictions prohibit the use of two traditional elbows. 23
There are four types of offsets available: forward, rearward, 12.00
upward and downward, allowing the busway layout to offset (304.8)
in any direction. 24
Figure 24.1-10 shows the standard/minimum leg lengths
for each type of offset for all ratings and configurations. 25
Nonstandard lengths are also available.
All dimensions shown are to the centerline of the 26
Pow-R-Bridge and centerline of the busway. 12.00

There are two designs for end cable tap boxes. One is for a (304.8)
left-hand orientation and one for a right-hand orientation. 29
The two separate designs allow for the bus to be mounted

Surge Protective Device Plug-in Units


22 The Pow-R-Flex plug-in device product offering includes 18.13 14.38
(460.5) (365.2)
surge protective devices (SPD), which are ideal for busway-
23 fed distribution systems. A transient voltage is a random
high-energy, short-duration electrical anomaly. These high-
8.18
energy surges can disrupt, damage, or destroy sensitive (207.8)
24 microprocessor-based equipment. Eaton has developed
the SPD series of products to ensure that quality power is
supplied to commercial, industrial, medical, institutional
25 and data-center facilities.
The SPD device not only protects against externally created
impulse transients, such as lightning, utility capacitor
26 switching and disturbances emitted by adjacent facilities, but
also provides needed protection against internal transients.
This type of transient is generated within a facility’s own
27 distribution system. Sources of internally generated or ring-
wave transients are imaging equipment, variable-frequency
drives, lighting dimmers, arc welders, and the switching on
28 and off of electrical distribution equipment.
The SPDs also offer units that filter repetitive electrical line
29 noise (EMI/RFI), which is defined as any unwanted electrical
signal that produces undesirable effects in the circuits of
sensitive electronic equipment or disturbances that are two
30 times peak voltage. The suppression of AC transients is FD Breaker
accomplished through the use of thermally protected metal- Neutral
oxide varisters (MOVs), which provide a low-impedance path
31 to divert surges away from loads. Electrical line noise and
ringing transients are eliminated by adding filtering
capacitors to the suppression device.
32
The benefits of combining SPDs and filtering are reduced Ground Stab Base
MOV stress (resulting in a longer life cycle), lower let-
33 through voltage, better noise attenuation levels and
increased reliability.
Surge Protective Device
Because the SPD units are directly connected to the busway,
34 they are able to minimize let-through voltage and isolate
Figure 24.1-35. SPD Plug-In Unit
critical loads, which are fed from a protected busway run. Due
to the integrated design, the SPD plug-in units save the user
35 wall space and greatly reduce the installed project cost. The
SPD plug-in units are furnished with a breaker disconnect. For
catalog numbers and selection criteria, see Table 24.1-18.
