Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The P3BEHD3030N uses a three-pole E-frame design optimized for Pow-R-Way III busways, enabling rapid plug-in installation and simplified servicing in crowded electrical rooms. This translates to reduced commissioning time and lower on-site labor costs during upgrades or expansions, making it ideal for factory retrofits and new facility builds that require reliable busway protection. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 30A amperage rating aligns with common feeder circuits, providing targeted protection for motor loads and control power without oversizing protection devices, which lowers nuisance tripping and associated downtime. Application: industrial production lines, packaging systems, and process controls where dependable protection is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High interrupt ratings—18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC—deliver margin for short-circuit events, improving safety margins and reducing equipment damage in high-energy drives. Application: heavy machinery, conveyors, and large motors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 100% Neutral and 50% integral grounding support reliable fault paths and safer grounding practices, enhancing downstream sensor accuracy and personnel protection. Application: control panels and busway assemblies with mixed loads. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact footprint (12.36 in L x 21.2 in H x 5.43 in W) and 25 lb weight simplify installation, retrofits, and field replacements in tight spaces. Application: space-constrained industrial cabinets and retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA compliant with UL 857, CSA, ANSI, and IEEE certifications streamlines procurement and regulatory compliance, reducing audit risk and vendor qualification time. Application: regulated industries such as food & beverage, automotive, and chemical processing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: One-year warranty (per Eaton policy 25-000) provides peace of mind and supports maintenance planning for uptime guarantees in production environments.
