Feature → Business Impact → Application: The P3BED3175 uses a three-pole, E-frame Pow-R-Way III breaker design to deliver robust protection for busway installations, reducing fault severity and enabling faster fault isolation. Business impact is significant: increased equipment uptime and safer, more predictable maintenance windows for factory lines and distribution panels. Application: ideal for modular electrical rooms and manufacturing facilities where plug-in protection must be quickly deployed without extensive wiring changes.Feature → Business Impact → Application: It supports 175A amperage with a 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 Vac, enabling higher fault tolerance in moderately to heavily loaded feeders. This translates to lower risk of cascading trips and improved protection coordination. Application: critical power feeds in data centers, machine cells, and process lines requiring dependable short-circuit performance.Feature → Business Impact → Application: Grounding options offer 50% integral/housing grounding, simplifying enclosure grounding schemes and reducing install time. Application: panel assemblies and busway runs where compact grounding is advantageous and time-to-first-power must be minimized.Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA compliant, and ANSI CSA UL 857 IEEE certified, ensuring regulatory alignment and cross‑vendor interoperability. This mitigates compliance risk during audits and supports multi-sourcing. Application: industrial environments with strict safety and performance standards, including automotive, food & beverage, and chemical processing plants.Feature → Business Impact → Application: Integrated plug-in design and compact 12.36 in length, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width with a 25 lb weight streamline field retrofit and OEM integration. Application: retrofit projects, OEM panel builds, and new busway installations where space is at a premium and speed matters.
