Eaton P3BFD3015N Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker - UL 857
Part Number: P3BFD3015N
Quick Summary
Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit is a three-pole protection device for busway power distribution in industrial facilities. Designers often struggle to find plug-in breakers that fit modular busways without triggering nuisance trips or lengthy downtime during swaps. This device comes with UL 857, ANSI/IEEE certifications and CSA compliance, offering safety and interoperability across regions. In practical terms, its 15A rating, 100% neutral, and 50% integral grounding create predictable protection and simplified grounding. The compact footprint and manageable weight support quick installation in crowded panels, while the plug-in format minimizes maintenance impact. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to lower lifecycle costs and faster project timelines.
