The P3BEHD3045GN delivers a 3‑pole, 45A circuit protection within an EHD frame, supporting fault currents of 18 kAIC at 240V and 14 kAIC at 480V. This capability translates to robust protection for critical loads while allowing rapid maintenance interventions without extended downtime. In practice, the higher interrupt rating reduces fault duration and limits collateral damage to adjacent equipment, improving line reliability for manufacturing lines and data-center feeder arrangements. The unit’s grounding configuration, offering 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral, enhances safety by providing predictable fault paths and clean neutrals for sensitive electronics, reducing electrical noise and potential malfunctions in control circuits. For installers, the plug-in format simplifies upgrades and replacements, minimizing field wiring and enabling modular expansion within Pow-R-Way III busway infrastructures. These features collectively improve compliance, ease of retrofits, and lifecycle cost efficiency. The compact dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and a 25 lb weight support straightforward mounting on standard busway supports, enabling scalable protection in compact electrical rooms and restricted service aisles. In real-world deployments, this translates to faster deployment, lower labor costs, and more predictable maintenance windows, especially in high-demand facilities like automation plants and process lines.

FAQs

The P3BEHD3045GN is a 3-pole plug-in unit designed specifically for Pow-R-Way III busways. It integrates with standard EHD frame-type breakers and uses the Pow-R-Way III mounting scheme to simplify field upgrades, reducing installation time and minimizing disruption to powered circuits.
The unit provides an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V and 14 kAIC at 480V. This higher rating enables robust protection for high-inrush loads and short-circuit events, helping to limit equipment damage and shorten fault duration in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. With IEEE, CSA, ANSI, and UL 857 certifications, plus 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral options, the unit supports clean neutrals for sensitive gear and safe fault pathways, making it appropriate for data centers, control panels, and critical manufacturing feeders where uptime matters.
The P3BEHD3045GN carries IEEE, CSA, ANSI certifications and UL 857 approval, along with NEMA compliance. These certifications help ensure regulatory alignment, safer installations, and consistent performance across North American facilities.
The plug-in design facilitates quick replacements, reducing MTTR during maintenance. The 45A rating, high interrupt capability, 50% internal grounding, and 100% neutral options contribute to safer operations and fewer field faults, translating to lower downtime costs and improved total cost of ownership over the facility’s power distribution infrastructure.
