3-pole, 30A protection is built into the P3BEHD3030G, delivering reliable protection for Pow-R-Way III busways. This translates to faster fault isolation and reduced downtime in modular distribution schemes. Suitable for manufacturing lines, data centers, and process plants seeking scalable protection with compact plug-in simplicity. 50% internal grounding improves safety and simplifies grounding strategy, cutting wiring complexity and potential fault paths. For panel builders, this reduces installation time and material costs while maintaining regulatory cleanliness. EHD frame type breaker with 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width is optimized for standard Pow-R-Way III enclosures. Its plug-in design enables rapid replacement and minimizes panel downtime during maintenance or upgrades. High interrupt ratings—18 kAIC at 240V and 14 kAIC at 480V—offer robust short-circuit protection for diverse loading conditions. This supports safer startup, better coordination with upstream devices, and improved system uptime. Certified for NEMA, IEEE, CSA, ANSI and UL 857, the P3BEHD3030G simplifies procurement across regions. The combination of compliance and plug-in convenience lowers total cost of ownership by reducing inspection cycles and accelerating commissioning. Finally, the plug-in unit design enhances installation and maintenance workflows, enabling field upgrades with minimal disassembly. For integrators, its compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways translates into predictable performance and faster project delivery.
