Eaton P3BED3050 circuit breaker plug-in UL 857
Part Number: P3BED3050
Quick Summary
Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit provides reliable power protection for busway installations in industrial facilities where space is tight and uptime is critical. In these environments, downtime and mis-wiring can cascade into costly outages, equipment damage, and safety risks. UL 857 listed, IEEE Certified, and CSA Certified provide regulatory reassurance and proven performance across harsh industrial conditions. The plug-in design minimizes field labor during installation and replacement, while a 50A amperage rating and a 65 kAIC interrupt capacity support scalable protection in busway networks. This combination translates into higher system availability and clearer paths to compliance for facilities relying on power distribution via busways.
