Three-pole Pow-R-Way III F-frame design aligns with common busway configurations, reducing mounting challenges and ensuring coordinated protection. This footprint minimizes installation errors and compatibility gaps, accelerating project timelines in factory floors and data centers. The P3BFD3030 is readily integrated with standard busway assemblies, enabling plug-in installation without custom interconnections. The device delivers high interrupt ratings—65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC—providing robust fault protection that reduces downstream damage and supports safer shutdowns. In high-current environments, this translates to lower long-term spare parts costs and improved uptime. Grounding flexibility with 50% integral or housing grounding simplifies wiring and speeds commissioning, especially in space-constrained installations. Certifications and compliance—including ANSI UL 857, IEEE, CSA, and NEMA—support regulatory acceptance across facilities and OEM deployments. The compact dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and 25 lb weight ease field handling and installation in limited spaces. Finally, Eaton’s one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first) reduces procurement risk and supports lifecycle planning.

FAQs
Ensure your busway enclosure accepts a three-pole, F-frame plug-in unit and confirm grounding method (50% integral or housing). Align with existing Pow-R-Way III configurations, secure the unit in the busway socket, and verify correct polarity and electrical clearances. Use standard mounting hardware and perform a post-installation trip test to validate protection coordination.
The device is 30A with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC, suitable for protecting three-phase busway feeders in industrial environments.
Yes. Designed for busway power distribution, three-pole protection with a compact footprint supports dense installations. Its grounding options and standard frame enable straightforward integration with existing Pow-R-Way III systems, reducing installation complexity in crowded plant spaces.
It is ANSI UL 857, IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and NEMA Compliant, providing regulatory alignment for industrial facilities and OEM deployments.
Eaton offers a warranty policy of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This reduces risk in procurement and supports lifecycle planning, with standard access to spares and service under typical Eaton support agreements.
