Product Line:
PTLVB - Busways Power IEC & NEMA

Environment:

These busway circuit breaker plug-in units all use P frame breakers. The PTPA unit uses a PA breaker (80% rated). The PTPH unit uses the high short circuit version of the PA breaker. The breaker is a PH ( 80% rated). The PTPE uses a 100% rated micrologic breaker (PE).
