FAQs
The P3BEHD3080 is designed for industrial busway distributions employing the Pow-R-Way III family. It provides three-pole protection in an E-frame plug-in unit, enabling rapid integration with existing busway runs. Its 80A rating and high interrupt ratings support branch protection for motor loads and feeders, reducing wiring complexity and installation time in new builds or retrofits.
This unit is rated at 80A with an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V and 14 kAIC at 480V. Such performance supports short-circuit protection for mid-range industrial power distribution, delivering fast fault clearance while maintaining system stability across multiple poles and feeders. The three-pole configuration is ideal for balanced loads in busway installations.
Yes, the P3BEHD3080 is a Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit intended for busway protection and aligns with E-frame three-pole breakers. It offers grounding options with 50% integral or housing grounding, simplifying integration with diverse grounding schemes and meeting common facility grounding requirements during commissioning.
The unit carries UL 857, IEEE, CSA and ANSI certifications, along with NEMA compliance. These certifications verify safe operation, enforce compatibility with standard electrical practices, and facilitate regulatory approvals and audits—critical for deployments in regulated industrial environments and multinational facilities.
The plug-in design enables faster replacements and reduces field wiring, lowering downtime during maintenance. With a one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) and a compact footprint, lifecycle costs are predictable. The standardized Pow-R-Way III family also supports scalable upgrades, protecting your initial investment as system protection needs evolve.
