FAQs
The BKG3G500 is designed for use in standard low-voltage panelboards and switchgear, offering a 22 in depth, 9 in width, and 5 in height footprint. It supports single-phase and three-phase configurations and features a convertible PDG3XG design, enabling straightforward field upgrades without custom mounting adaptations. Installation ease improves commissioning speed and reduces cabinet modification requirements.
The kit provides a 500 A amperage rating with a rated operational current of 350 A, ensuring robust main protection for high-load systems. This configuration is ideal for demanding environments where short-circuit current and sustained loads must be managed reliably, while enabling controlled, predictable tripping behavior to minimize equipment damage.
Best suited for industrial facilities with heavy power distribution needs, including manufacturing lines, data centers, and process industries. Its convertible configuration supports evolving infrastructure, and UL 67 with NEMA compliance ensures safety and regulatory alignment for critical low-voltage distribution systems.
UL 67 certification confirms safety performance for power distribution equipment, while NEMA compliance indicates suitability for rugged industrial environments. These certifications help streamline approvals, reduce risk during installation, and support warranty coverage in compliance-driven projects.
ROI comes from faster installation, reduced field rework, and easier future configuration changes thanks to the convertible design. Regular maintenance is simplified by standardized components and documented specifications, while government and industry compliance reduces risk of downtime and warranty disputes.
