120V Power Outlet Boxes & 120V Power Drop Cords

This collection includes 120V power outlet boxes and 120V power drop cords for Track Busway systems. These 120V power outlets and 120V power cords deliver 120V line-to-neutral branch-circuit power from overhead busway to receptacles, lighting, tools, and other equipment below.

Options on this page include Receptacle-in-Fitter units, outlet boxes, breakered outlet boxes, and 120V drop cord assemblies that can be installed or relocated along the busway without rewiring.

Single-phase Track Busway with feed unit and duplex drop cord for overhead single-phase power distribution

120V outlet boxes and 120V power drop cords for Track Busway connect one hot conductor and the neutral to provide 120V line-to-neutral power from the overhead run.

On this page, 120V power outlet options include Receptacle-in-Fitter units, outlet boxes, and breakered outlet boxes, while 120V power drop cord options bring protected power down to the point of use.

Because the fittings are modular, both outlet boxes and drop cords can be added or moved anywhere along the Track Busway run without rewiring.

How 120V Power Outlet Boxes & 120V Power Drop Cords Deliver Overhead Power

120V power outlet boxes and 120V power drop cords connect to the Track Busway run to deliver 120V line-to-neutral power exactly where it is needed. These plug-in units provide flexible branch-circuit access for receptacles, lighting, tools, and other low-power equipment below.

Designed for simple installation and easy relocation, both outlet boxes and drop cords can be added or moved along the busway without rewiring. This makes them ideal for projects that need adaptable overhead power distribution with cleaner layouts and faster field changes.

120V Plug-In Unit Specifications

120V power outlet boxes and 120V power drop cords for Track Busway are available with overcurrent protection, allowing flexible overhead branch-circuit power to be distributed from the busway run to receptacles, tools, lighting, and other equipment below.

A 1-pole Track Busway plug-in unit connects to one hot conductor and the neutral to supply 120V line-to-neutral power. This configuration is commonly used for general-purpose receptacles, task lighting, tools, and other lower-power equipment that benefits from movable overhead power access and simpler field changes.

Busway Fittings allow for either circuit, A or B, to be tapped. Pre-installed on all 120V Track Busway Plug-Ins.

Breaker Configurations for Track Busway Plug-In Units

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.
