Three-pole E-frame design provides a robust 100A amperage rating with 18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC, delivering dependable overcurrent protection for branch circuits. This protection confines faults to the originating phase and minimizes downstream damage, reducing unplanned downtime and repair costs. Ideal for busway-fed distributions, the plug-in unit supports rapid replacements during maintenance windows without disturbing adjacent equipment. Grounding options include 50% integral or housing grounding, simplifying field wiring and enhancing fault path reliability. Fewer field connections mean shorter install times and lower labor costs while maintaining compliance with grounding standards. In panel assemblies and compact switchgear, this feature accelerates commissioning and improves overall system integrity. With dimensions of 12.36 inches in depth, 21.2 inches in height, and 5.43 inches in width, the unit maximizes enclosure utilization. The compact footprint enables easier retrofits and expansions in space-constrained facilities without sacrificing protection performance. Operators also benefit from straightforward plug-in installation that reduces field wiring complexity and potential connection errors. UL 857, ANSI, CSA, and IEEE certifications establish robust compliance benchmarks, aiding regulatory audits and supplier qualification. Certification alignment reduces risk during procurement and supports cross-site standardization across diverse facilities. Manufacturers and integrators gain confidence that the product meets industry expectations for safety and performance. Warranty coverage—one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment—offers predictable support footing and total cost of ownership improvements. This policy complements Eaton’s service ecosystem, including documentation, spares availability, and local technical support. For project timelines and ROI, fast replacement capability and reliable fault protection translate into meaningful uptime gains.

FAQs
The P3BEHD3100 is a plug-in unit that fits standard three-pole busway interfaces using an Eaton Pow-R-Way mounting scheme. Verify that your busway sections are rated for 100A and the 18 kAIC/14 kAIC interrupt ratings. Mount into the appropriate E-frame breaker bracket, connect grounding per the 50% integral/housing option, and confirm UL 857 compliance during commissioning.
The unit provides a 100A amperage rating with an 18 kAIC interrupt capacity at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC. As a three-pole E-frame breaker, it supports robust protection for busway-fed circuits, limiting fault impact and enabling reliable remote operation. These ratings align with typical industrial distribution requirements and help ensure fast fault isolation.
Yes. Its compact E-frame design, 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width make it ideal for space-constrained retrofits. The plug-in architecture allows quick replacement without major wiring changes, while 50% integral grounding and standard busway compatibility simplify integration into existing plant infrastructure, supporting minimal downtime during upgrades.
The P3BEHD3100 carries UL 857, ANSI, CSA, and IEEE certifications to satisfy industry safety and performance requirements. This certification suite supports regulatory compliance, audit readiness, and supplier qualification across multi-site installations, reducing procurement risk and ensuring consistent performance across facilities.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or an eighteen-month window from shipment, whichever comes first, aiding budgeting and ROI calculations. Coupled with documented service resources and readily available spares, this coverage helps lower maintenance risk, shorten downtime, and improve long-term uptime for busway protection investments.
