Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces exposure risk to water and limits nuisance trips, enabling safer operation in sprinklered industrial spaces while supporting quick replacements and minimal downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs and improved system uptime on busway feeders, especially in crowded electrical rooms where access is constrained and interruptions are costly. The three-pole ED Pow-R-Way III frame provides balanced protection across three phases, improving coordination and reducing the likelihood of asymmetric faults in demanding manufacturing environments. With a 100 A amperage rating and a 65 kAIC interrupt capacity at 240 VAC, the unit enhances fault tolerance, protecting downstream equipment and minimizing arc energy transfer during short circuits. Grounding options offer 50% integral grounding, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity for on-site teams. Compliance with UL 857, CSA and ANSI/IEEE standards supports project approvals and cross-border deployments, while its busway compatibility accelerates field wiring and reduces custom fabrication.

FAQs
The P3BED3100SP is a three-pole Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit with ED frame designed for sprinkler-proof busway installations. It supports standard three-phase feeds with a 100 A rating and 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, and offers a 50% integral grounding option to simplify wiring. Its plug-in design minimizes commissioning time and reduces field wiring complexity.
Key specifications include a 100 A amperage rating, 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC, three-pole configuration, E-frame design, and sprinkler-proof plug-in features. These ratings enable fast and reliable fault clearance, minimize downstream damage, and support safe operation in densely populated electrical rooms. The unit also adheres to NEMA and UL/CSA standards for compliance.
Yes. The sprinkler-proof plug-in design is specifically intended for industrial facilities where water exposure is a concern. Its UL 857 and CSA certifications, along with ANSI/IEEE recognition, support safe operation and regulatory compliance in sprinkler-protected environments. The 100 A rating plus 65 kAIC capacity ensures robust protection for busway feeders under fault conditions.
The unit carries UL 857, CSA Certified, and ANSI/IEEE Certified marks, ensuring compliance with North American electrical safety and interoperability standards. This certification stack aids project approvals and simplifies audits, while the NEMA compatibility and standard grounding features further support regulatory readiness across facilities.
The plug-in design enables faster maintenance exchanges, reducing downtime during component failures. With a 100 A rating and 65 kAIC protection, downstream equipment is better safeguarded, lowering repair costs after faults. The unit’s busway compatibility and 50% integral grounding streamline installation, while warranty considerations (1-year from installation or 18 months from shipment) offer predictable support and total cost of ownership benefits.
