overhead busway ampacity AI halls now spec (vs legacy 400 A); named product lines top out at 1,000 A (Eaton PowerWave 2: 250–1,000 A)

800–1,000 Aobserved

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeEaton's specification does not establish that AI halls generally specify 800–1600 A or that 415/480 V represents a majority of new deployments; those broader market claims require separate representative evidence.
