208V / 240V Two-Pole Busway Tap-Off Units
2-Pole plug-in units provide line-to-line power using two hot conductors (no neutral required). Depending on your supply, this supports common 208V and 240V single-phase loads (and can also align to 480V systems where applicable).
Use this page to browse 2-Pole outlet boxes and drop cords, and reference the wiring diagram below to confirm correct tap alignment before specifying.

Plug-In Busway Tap-Offs for 208V, 240V, or 480V Systems
These units tap two hot conductors to deliver line-to-line power:
-240V from a single-phase panel
-208V from a 120/208V three-phase panel
-480V from a 277/480V three-phase panel
Single-Phase 2-Pole Wiring Diagram
This diagram illustrates a Track Busway tap-off supplying line-to-line single-phase power at 208Y or 240V.
These configurations are commonly used for higher-load equipment where a neutral is not required, such as commercial kitchen equipment, lab devices, and light industrial loads.
This collection includes 2-Pole Track Busway plug-in products that provide 208V or 240V line-to-line power, including outlet boxes and PowerDrop cords for higher-load single-phase applications

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.
Overhead Power Distribution
Steel Track Busway is not simply lighting track, it is a power distribution system. Because of this, Steel Track Busway is capable of delivering power to items beyond just light fixtures (such as power drops to floor fixtures, etc). This is unlike mere lighting track, which per the National Electrical Code, Article 410.151A, allows for only lighting fixtures to be used with track.
STEEL Track Busway
- NRTL listed to UL 857 Busway Standards.
- Minimize home-run feeds with 160A feeder capacity (4 x 40amp circuits)
- Built-in code compliance with protection from fuses / breakers
- 120V, 208Y, 277V, and 408V compatible.
- Open slot accessibility for ease in re-locating / adding elements.
