Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Three-pole Pow-R-Way III architecture provides robust protection across three phases, enabling busway-fed panels to quickly isolate faults while maintaining system continuity. The high interrupt ratings—65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac—offer substantial fault current withstand, reducing the risk of cascading failures in demanding facilities. Grounding options with 50% Internal grounding simplify safety management and minimize wiring complexity on installation sites. The compact footprint—12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width—along with a 25 lb weight, makes retrofits and panel upgrades faster and less invasive. Compliance with NEMA, UL 857, and ANSI/IEEE CSA standards helps procurement teams meet regulatory requirements with confidence. The plug-in design lowers maintenance costs by enabling quick replacements without extensive field wiring, delivering improved uptime and lower total cost of ownership. This device is purpose-built for busway distribution, aligning with modern modular power architectures and facilitating scalable protection for evolving facilities.

FAQs
Begin by confirming busway compatibility and electrical ratings for the specific panel layout. Mount the plug-in unit onto the busway interface, secure the three-pole connections, and engage the internal grounding option if required. Verify tightness of terminations, follow Eaton’s specification sheet for torque values, and test the circuit in accordance with utility and code procedures to ensure proper operation.
65 kAIC at 240V indicates the maximum short-circuit current the breaker can interrupt at that voltage without credible damage. This rating provides a substantial safety margin for typical industrial busway feeders, reducing the likelihood of destructive faults propagating through downstream devices and enabling safer system shutdowns during faults.
Yes. The P3BFD3015G supports 480V and 600V systems with interrupt ratings of 25 kAIC at 480V and 18 kAIC at 600V, respectively. These ratings ensure appropriate fault current handling across a range of commercial and industrial power distributions, making it suitable for multi-voltage busway configurations.
The unit carries ANSI/IEEE certification, CSA certification, and UL 857 listing, along with NEMA compliance. These marks support safety, interoperability, and regulatory acceptance across North American electrical installations, simplifying procurement and installation in regulated environments.
The plug-in design minimizes field wiring and simplifies replacement, reducing maintenance downtime and labor costs. Its modular, busway-compatible architecture supports scalable protection as facilities expand, delivering faster upgrades and a lower total cost of ownership alongside reliable, long-term performance.
