FAQs
The P3BED3050N is a plug-in unit designed to mount directly into Pow-R-Way III busways. Install in standard 3-pole configurations, align with busway conductors, and secure using the manufacturer-recommended mounting hardware. This setup minimizes field wiring, reduces install time, and supports straightforward replacement if maintenance is needed.
A 50A rating indicates continuous operating current capability for each pole, while 65 kAIC is the interrupt rating at 240 Vac, meaning the breaker can safely interrupt high short-circuit currents up to 65 kiloamperes. This combination ensures robust protection for medium-length busway circuits typical in industrial environments.
Yes. The P3BED3050N is engineered for three-pole busway protection in manufacturing and processing settings. Its 100% neutral and 50% integral grounding support balanced loads and safe fault paths, while its IEC/UL/CSA certifications help meet plant safety requirements and regulatory expectations.
The unit carries ANSI/IEEE certification, CSA certification, and UL 857 listing, and it is NEMA compliant. These certifications provide assurance on electrical safety, performance, and compatibility with standard electrical enclosures and installation practices.
Eaton offers a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty supports maintenance planning, reduces lifecycle risk, and ensures access to authorized replacements as part of a proactive asset management strategy.
