120V / 1-Pole Track Busway Tap-Off Units

Single-deck Track Busway with duplex PowerDrop cord for 120V overhead receptacle power

Browse 120V / 1-pole Track Busway plug-in power tap-off units for line-to-neutral branch-circuit power.

These 40A plug-in units connect one hot conductor and neutral to deliver 120V power from the overhead busway to receptacles, tools, task lighting, workstations, and other lower-power equipment.

Choose outlet boxes when the receptacle should stay mounted directly at the busway. Choose power drop cords when receptacles need to hang closer to equipment, benches, or work areas.

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

Use this 120V / 1-pole Track Busway power family for standard line-to-neutral receptacle loads. For other 40A plug-in power configurations, compare all 40A power, 208V / 2-pole power, and 3-phase / 3-pole power using the links below.

How 120V Tap-Off Units Deliver 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 / 1-pole Track Busway plug-in units connect one hot conductor and neutral to supply line-to-neutral power. These tap-off units are available as Receptacle-in-Fitter units, outlet boxes, breakered outlet boxes, and PowerDrop cords with 15A, 20A, or 30A receptacle and breaker configurations.

Use this family for general-purpose receptacles, task lighting, tools, test equipment, benches, and other lower-power loads that benefit from overhead power access and field-repositionable plug-in units.

120V / 1-Pole Tap-Off Wiring Diagram

This diagram shows a 120V / 1-pole Track Busway tap-off connected between one hot conductor and neutral. This line-to-neutral configuration is commonly used for general-purpose receptacles, task lighting, tools, and other lower-power equipment.

Illustrated 120‑V wiring diagram: panelboard feeding a single‑track busway with breaker outlet boxes and labeled phase conductors and neutral.

These 120V outlet boxes and PowerDrop cords deliver power from the overhead busway to the point of use while keeping the busway run accessible for future layout changes.

120V Circuit Selection

120V busway fittings tap either circuit A–N or B–N, allowing 1-pole plug-in units to use one hot conductor and neutral. This fitting is pre-installed on 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.
