The P3BEHD3020GN uses a 3-pole, 20A circuit breaker in an E-frame configuration, delivering precise overcurrent protection for feeder circuits in Pow-R-Way III busway layouts. This design translates into faster fault interruption, improved selectivity, and reduced nuisance trips in demanding manufacturing lines, data centers, and processing plants. The unit is compatible with both 240 VAC and 480 VAC systems, enabling seamless integration across typical industrial voltage profiles. With 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral, wiring complexity decreases while fault detection improves, reducing installation errors and ensuring safer, more reliable neutral distribution across modular busway segments. Certifications and standards are explicit: IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, UL 857, and NEMA compliance, supporting cross-border procurement and regulatory confidence. Performance ratings include 18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC, ensuring resilience against high fault currents while preserving coordination with upstream protection. The compact footprint (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) with a 25 lb weight fits standard enclosures, and plug-in compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busway minimizes field wiring during installation and future upgrades. Overall, this unit drives operational efficiency, faster maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership by standardizing protection on the Pow-R-Way III platform.

FAQs
For proper installation, mount the plug-in unit to the Pow-R-Way III busway segment using compatible brackets, ensure correct 3-pole alignment, and connect the 50% internal grounding along with 100% neutral conductors. Verify voltage compatibility (240 VAC or 480 VAC) and confirm up-front clearance for the 21.2 inch height. This approach minimizes wiring errors and speeds commissioning in production environments.
Key specs include a 20A amperage rating, 18 kAIC interrupt capacity at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC, 3-pole operation, and an E-frame breaker. The unit provides 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral, enhancing fault isolation and neutral distribution. It is NEMA compliant and UL 857 listed, ensuring robust performance in industrial settings.
Yes. The P3BEHD3020GN supports 480 VAC and offers 14 kAIC interrupt rating at this voltage, enabling safe protection for higher-voltage feeder circuits. Its plug-in design and busway compatibility facilitate rapid deployment in facilities upgrading to higher voltage levels without rewiring existing panels.
The unit carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI recognition, and UL 857 listing, with NEMA compliance. These certifications provide confidence for global procurement, regulatory alignment in manufacturing and data-center environments, and assurance of standardized safety and performance across markets.
The plug-in design reduces commissioning time and spare-part complexity, lowering field labor costs during upgrades and maintenance. Standardizing on the Pow-R-Way III platform simplifies inventory management, improves uptime by reducing fault-trace time, and supports scalable expansions, delivering tangible total-cost-of-ownership savings over the equipment lifecycle.
