Cutler-Hammer TAP361 - 30A, 600V, Fusible Bus Plug

Introducing the Cutler-Hammer TAP361 Fusible Bus Plug — a purpose-built protection device for demanding power distribution environments. With a 30A current rating and a 600V voltage rating, this plug-in solution is designed to slip seamlessly into compatible busway and panelboard systems, delivering reliable, fast-acting protection where it’s needed most.

why the TAP361 stands out

• Precise protection in a plug form factor: Fusible protection integrated directly into a bus plug, simplifying protection scheme design and maintenance planning.
• Optimized for busy facilities: Built for industrial plants, commercial facilities, and process equipment where downtime is costly and quick swaps are essential.
• Reliable compatibility: Specifically designed for use with busway and panelboard distributions in Cutler-Hammer systems, making it a trusted choice for upgrades and retrofits.
• Hard-to-find, easy to source: A practical solution for maintenance, repair, and upgrade projects that require compatible, readily available busplugs.

Ideal use cases

Whether you’re expanding a facility’s power distribution, replacing aging protection components, or retrofitting existing infrastructure, the TAP361 shines. It’s well-suited for:

• Industrial plants where robust protection and quick maintenance are priorities
• Commercial facilities undergoing capacity upgrades or equipment modernization
• Retrofit projects that demand compatible busplugs to match existing TAP361-compatible hardware
• Process equipment installations where reliable, coordinated protection is critical

Practical considerations and benefits

Choosing the TAP361 means selecting a proven, plug-based protection device designed to minimize downtime and simplify field service. It supports safe operation within its 30A, 600V specification and aligns with busway/panelboard configurations that rely on fusible plug protection to safeguard circuits and connected equipment. For maintenance teams and engineers, this translates to faster replacements, easier inventory management, and a clearer protection strategy during upgrades.

Installation and care tips

Plan installations around your existing TAP361-compatible infrastructure. Confirm system voltage and current align with the 600V/30A ratings, ensure proper alignment with busway or panelboard slots, and follow standard electrical safety practices during installation and testing. Use as part of a broader protection strategy to maintain reliable power distribution across critical equipment and processes.

Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the Cutler-Hammer TAP361 Fusible Bus Plug delivers targeted protection where you need it, helping facilities stay productive and compliant while simplifying upgrades and maintenance in busy power-distribution networks.
