Overview of Power Tap-Off Boxes

This collection includes Track Busway power plug-in components such as outlet boxes, receptacle-in-fitters, and PowerDrop cords, covering multiple pole configurations for flexible overhead power distribution

Power Tap-Off Boxes connect directly into the Track Busway system, providing flexible overhead power distribution without rewiring. These customizable plug-in units allow contractors to install quickly, while also giving facility managers the ability to add or reposition power drops over time — a cost-saving alternative to conduit-based systems

These plug-in tap-off boxes install directly into the Track Busway channel, providing flexible access to power that can be repositioned as layouts and equipment change.

Choose Your Power Tap-Off Type

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.

1-Pole

Our 1-Pole plug-in units deliver reliable single-circuit 120V or 277V power. The integrated Flip Fitting allows the user to rotate the unit 180° to switch between Circuit A and Circuit B — no rewiring required. Ideal for lighting or low-power equipment where flexibility is key.

1-Pole plug-in units provide 120V line-to-neutral power for general-purpose receptacles, lighting, and low-power equipment. These components are ideal for flexible overhead drops where accessibility and circuit switching are required.

2-Pole

plug-ins provide 208V or 240V single-phase power by tapping two hot conductors. These units are perfect for equipment that requires higher voltage than standard 120V and are commonly used in light industrial, commercial kitchen, and lab environments.

2-Pole plug-in units provide line-to-line single-phase power for higher-load equipment. These tap-offs are commonly used for 208Y and 240V applications where a neutral is not required.

3-Pole (3-Phase, 4-Wire)

3-Pole plug-ins deliver 3-phase, 4-wire power for heavy-duty equipment and scalable layouts. The third phase is tapped from the top deck via whip. These units support 208Y, 240V delta, or 480V service — ideal for shops, factories, and high-demand workstations.

3-Pole plug-in units support three-phase distribution by accessing all phase conductors. These configurations are used for industrial equipment and higher-capacity power drops
