The P3BED3175G is a three-pole, E-frame Pow-R-Way III plug-in circuit breaker designed for busway distribution. Its 175A rating supports moderate to heavy load sections while maintaining compact dimensions for panel density, enabling tight layouts and faster panel builds. The 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC delivers robust fault current clearance, reducing arc energy exposure and downstream equipment damage in the event of a short circuit. Grounding options show 50% internal grounding, simplifying installation by reducing external grounding complexity and improving fault path clarity for safer operation. Compliance with NEMA, IEEE, UL 857, and CSA standards minimizes regulatory risk and streamlines commissioning in regulated facilities, while the plug-in design speeds replacement and service calls, cutting downtime and maintenance costs. This unit is optimized for Busway applications and ED configurations, ensuring compatibility with Eaton’s Pow-R-Way III ecosystem and simplifying spare parts planning for maintenance teams. In practice, engineers gain predictable trip characteristics and faster MTTR, supporting both new installations and retrofits in manufacturing plants and data centers alike.

FAQs
Install the P3BED3175G as a three-pole, E-frame plug-in unit within the Pow-R-Way III busway layout. Ensure alignment with ED busway sections and secure the unit in the designated plug-in slots. Verify 50% Internal Grounding is configured per site grounding practices. After seating, recheck electrical clearances and confirm IEEE, UL 857 and CSA certs are applicable to the installation area.
Key ratings include 175A amperage and 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC for high fault current protection. Certification highlights are IEEE Certified, UL 857, and CSA Certified, with NEMA Compliant design. The product is three-pole, ED busway compatible, and uses the Pow-R-Way III design to ensure compliant, safe operation in industrial environments.
Yes. The P3BED3175G is specifically designed for Pow-R-Way III systems and ED busway configurations. Its plug-in design enables quick replacement or upgrades within existing busway panels, reducing downtime. Its three-pole, E-frame architecture aligns with standard Eaton busway protection schemes, ensuring seamless electrical coordination and straightforward integration with other Pow-R-Way III components.
The warranty follows Eaton's policy: one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from the date of shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage supports replacement or repair needs due to manufacturing defects and provides a baseline risk mitigator for maintenance planning and long-term reliability in mission-critical applications.
The 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC allows rapid clearance of high-energy faults, minimizing arc energy and limiting damage to the breaker, busway components, and connected loads. This results in shorter MTTR, reduced downtime during fault events, and improved system availability for facilities with heavy motors and high fault-current scenarios.
