Outlet Boxes
A Track Busway outlet box functions as a tap-off box for busway applications, plugging directly into the busway to deliver accessible branch-circuit power exactly where it is needed.
This collection includes electrical tap-off units for 120V, 208Y/240V, and selected 3-phase applications, with breakered and non-breakered tap off unit options.

Track Busway outlet boxes provide box-style plug-in power access directly at the busway when power should remain overhead instead of hanging below on a cord.
They are available for 120V, 208Y/240V, and selected 3-phase applications, with both breakered and non-breakered options depending on where circuit protection is needed.
When power must be brought lower in the space to reach equipment below the run, compare outlet boxes with drop cords.
Breakered & Unbreakered Outlet Boxes
Outlet boxes plug directly into the Track Busway system, providing safe, accessible plug-in power exactly where it’s needed.
- Breakered PowerTaps provide circuit protection and accessible overhead power for tools, equipment, and appliances.
- Unbreakered outlet boxes are used when protection is provided downstream.
All units plug directly into Track Busway and can be repositioned without rewiring.
For applications where power needs to be dropped lower in the space, drop cords provide a flexible alternative to outlet boxes while keeping distribution overhead.
1-Pole Outlet Boxes (line-to-neutral)
For 120V line-to-neutral power where a tap-off box mounts directly to the busway.
40A Track Busway
For use with Track Busway systems rated up to 40A per phase.
T225 Track Busway
For use with T225 Track Busway systems rated up to 225A per phase.
2-Pole Outlet Boxes (line-to-line)
For 208V or 240V line-to-line power where the outlet box taps two conductors from the busway.
40A Track Busway
For use with Track Busway systems rated up to 40A per phase.
T225 Track Busway
For use with T225 Track Busway systems rated up to 225A per phase.
3-Pole Outlet Boxes (three-phase)
For 208Y/120V or 3-phase applications requiring three-pole power from the busway.
40A Track Busway
For use with Track Busway systems rated up to 40A per phase.
T225 Track Busway
For use with T225 Track Busway systems rated up to 225A per phase.
Pole count refers to the internal breaker configuration of the plug-in unit, not the physical track.
1-Pole tap-offs connect one hot and the neutral to deliver 120V (line-to-neutral)
2-Pole tap-offs connect two hots (no neutral) to deliver 208V single-phase or 240V (line-to-line)
3-Pole tap-offs engage all three hots and the neutral to support 208V or 480V three-phase, four-wire configurations
For example, a 3-pole plug-in may be installed on a four-conductor (3-phase, L-L-L-N) Track Busway to serve three-phase loads with a neutral present.
