Plug-in design for Pow-R-Way III busways enables rapid installation and minimized field wiring, reducing commissioning time and labor costs. The 3-pole, 200A configuration supports centralized protection across feeder circuits and simplifies future scalability. This is ideal for manufacturing lines, distribution panels, and data centers relying on modular busway protection. The 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V places the P3BED3200G in environments with high fault currents, limiting upstream damage and improving overall system reliability. Matching with ED frame type E ensures compatibility with Eaton Pow-R-Way III equipment while maintaining a compact profile. Engineers appreciate the predictable trip characteristics during motor starts and peak load events. With 50% internal grounding, the unit provides a clear fault path while maintaining safe and compliant grounding schemes within the busway assembly. This design reduces field wiring complexity and minimizes potential ground loops, translating into faster commissioning and fewer callbacks. The plug-in format supports straightforward replacement without rewiring. A full compliance package — IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, UL 857, and NEMA compliance — helps meet regulatory requirements across North American facilities. The seal of approvals also supports supplier audits and customer qualification processes, reducing risk during projects and streamlining procurement. The compact footprint and ED frame 'E' with a 12.36 inch depth, 21.2 inch height, and 5.43 inch width fit typical electrical rooms and retrofit scenarios. At 25 pounds, installation and service are manageable, improving uptime for critical line-side protection. Cataloging with P3BED3200G and UPC 786683005029 simplifies asset tracking and inventory control.

FAQs
The P3BED3200G is designed as a plug‑in unit for Pow-R‑Way III with an ED frame type E. Plan for a 12.36 in depth and a 21.2 in height enclosure, ensure 50% internal grounding is acceptable for the site, and verify the 200A rating aligns with feeder requirements. Proper mounting and fastening in the busway frame streamline commissioning and minimize field rewiring during retrofits.
The unit is rated for 200A continuous current with an interrupt rating of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac. This combination supports high fault-current scenarios typical in industrial plants, helping limit damage to downstream equipment and improve overall system reliability during faults or motor startup surges.
Yes. Its 3‑pole 200A configuration, 65 kAIC capability, and NEMA compliance make it appropriate for heavy industrial distributions that rely on Pow-R‑Way III busways. The ED frame type E and 50% internal grounding simplify integration with existing protection schemes and busway assemblies in demanding environments.
The unit carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 listings, along with NEMA compliance. These certifications support regulatory adherence, aid in supplier qualification, and help expedite procurement and audits for facilities across North America.
The plug-in design enables quick replacement without extensive rewiring, reducing downtime during maintenance. Standardized ED frame compatibility and a clearly identified catalog number (P3BED3200G) and UPC support asset tracking, which lowers inventory costs and shortens repair cycles, delivering tangible ROI through increased uptime and streamlined procurement.
