How It Works
PowerTrip replaces standard Live-End and In-Line track power feeds and is just as easy to install. PowerTrip connectors contain a miniature electromagnetic circuit breaker that limits the current load on the track to a specified amperage/wattage. Exceeding the rating of the PowerTrip device by increasing fixture wattage or count breaks the circuit and shuts off power to the track. Remove the excess load, reset the PowerTrip breaker, and power is restored to the track.
How To Select
Total the wattage (including ballast input wattage if applicable) of all fixtures that will be used on
each circuit of track. Determine the default wattage as stipulated by the applicable code; either 45
watts per linear foot of track in CA, or 30 watts per square foot (all other states). If the actual load
is higher than the default load the PowerTrip is not required. If the default load is higher than the
actual load, select the PowerTrip kit that exceeds but is closer to the actual load.
How to order
PowerTrip is a two-part system. Choose the PowerTrip Connector that best suits the power feed requirements of the installation, either Live-End or In-Line. Next choose the PowerTrip Breaker Module as shown in "How to select" above. Order both components separately.
