Eaton FAN361 - 30A, 600V, 3-Pole Fusible Plug-In Unit for 100A Busway | AmpState

Eaton FAN361 is a 30A, 600V, 3-pole fusible plug-in unit engineered to tap branch loads from Eaton’s 100A plug-in busway systems. This dedicated branch-tap unit enables safe, fuse-protected distribution from a high-capacity busway without altering the main supply path. Fuses are not included, so you can pair the FAN361 with the exact protection you’ve specified for your installation.

Why the FAN361 stands out in busway distribution

• Three-pole, 30A per phase design delivers balanced protection for three-phase branch circuits while keeping the busway’s integrity intact.
• 600V operating capability supports industrial equipment from motors to drives and control panels common in manufacturing and processing facilities.
• Plug-in convenience simplifies installation and minimizes downtime when adding branch taps to existing Eaton 100A busway infrastructure.
• Designed for Eaton 100A busway systems—ensures reliable connections and compatibility within your modular power distribution layout.
• Fuse selection freedom—fuses are not included, giving you the flexibility to specify exact fuse type (time-delay, fast-acting, etc.) and rating to align with your protection philosophy and per‑circuit load.

Ideal use cases

• Branching off a 100A busway to feed a dedicated motor, pump, or process line in a manufacturing floor or processing facility.
• Providing a protected tap to supply local control panels, automation cabinets, or sub-distribution points within an industrial plant.
• Upgrading legacy installations where a fusible tap is required to meet safety and protection standards without reworking the main busway run.

Practical installation and operation tips

• Before installation, verify compatibility with your Eaton 100A busway and ensure the rated 30A per pole aligns with the connected branch loads.
• Choose fuses that fit the 600V system and the calculated inrush or running current for each branch. Keep a spare fuse stock for maintenance and quick replacements.
• Install per manufacturer guidelines, keeping the tap physically accessible for fuse maintenance and inspections while adhering to your facility’s safety procedures.
• Label the branch tap clearly to reflect its protection rating and connected load, aiding future troubleshooting and audits.
