Eaton P3BED3175GN Circuit Breaker Plug-in Unit - 65 kAIC
Part Number: P3BED3175GN
Quick Summary
Eaton P3BED3175GN circuit breaker plug-in unit protects busway-fed power distributions in industrial facilities. Engineers face downtime and compatibility challenges when upgrading panel boards or expanding routes. This unit meets industry standards with ANSI UL 857, IEEE Certified, and CSA Certified, plus NEMA compliance for rugged environments. Built for Pow-R-Way III busway systems, it delivers reliable protection while simplifying installation and spare-part management. By standardizing on a single plug-in solution, maintenance crews can cut installation time, reduce field wiring errors, and improve protection coordination across mixed-voltage networks. The result is safer operation, lower lifecycle costs, and faster project delivery for capital-expansion programs.

Eaton Specification Sheet - P3BED3175GN
Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Three-pole, E-frame Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit aligns with busway sections for a compact, modular protection solution that speeds installation and reduces cabinet real estate. Business impact: faster commissioning, fewer miswiring incidents, and easier stocking of compatible spares. Application: suitable for industrial power distribution across manufacturing lines and distribution centers, where quick upgrades are common. 175A rating supports mid-range feeders while maintaining precise protection coordination; installation benefits include standardized mounting and straightforward wiring paths, reducing electrician labor and turnover time. The 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC provides robust fault current withstand, improving safety margins in high-energy environments and enabling selective coordination without oversizing devices. 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground simplify grounding schemes, cutting design complexity and ensuring regulatory compliance. Compliance with NEMA, UL, IEEE, and CSA standards reinforces asset protection and warranty continuity across facilities. Warranty terms of one year from installation or 18 months from shipment help control total cost of ownership while supporting field service planning.

FAQs
To install P3BED3175GN, confirm busway compatibility with the Pow-R-Way III platform, align the plug-in unit with the correct breaker frame (E-frame), and seat firmly in the busway adapter. Connect the neutral conductor to the 100% neutral terminal and verify grounding using the 50% internal grounding option. Torque per Eaton guidelines, then test for proper trip operation and coordination with upstream devices.
Key specs: 175A amperage rating, 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC, three-pole design, and 100% neutral with 50% internal grounding. These figures support selective coordination by allowing upstream devices to clear faults without unnecessary downstream trips, while maintaining robust fault current handling. The specifications are ideal for mid-range busway feeders in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The P3BED3175GN is a three-pole, E-frame circuit breaker plug-in unit rated at 175A, with a 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC. Its plug-in design streamlines installation on Pow-R-Way III busway runs, while NEMA compliance and IEEE/CSA certifications ensure reliability and regulatory alignment for factory automation, packaging, and processing lines.
This unit is ANSI UL 857, IEEE Certified, and CSA Certified, with NEMA compliance. These certifications validate safe operation, performance under industry-standard conditions, and compatibility with electrical codes and installation practices in North America. For procurement and site audits, such certifications simplify vendor qualification and reduce risk during regulatory inspections.
