FAQs
Yes. The P3BFD3035 is a three-pole plug-in unit built for the Pow-R-Way III busway family, featuring an FD frame and tool-free integration with standard busway assemblies. Its grounded options and rated interrupt values align with typical busway protection schemes, enabling fast, reliable retrofits and scalable protection for expanding distributions.
The device is rated 35A with 65 kAIC at 240V, 25 kAIC at 480V, and 18 kAIC at 600V. These ratings determine fault current handling in your system and guide coordination with upstream breakers and busway feeders. For most commercial and light-industrial busway applications, these ratings provide robust protection while maintaining acceptable voltage drop and selectivity.
The P3BFD3035 carries CSA Certified, IEEE Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 certifications and is NEMA compliant. These approvals support safe operation in regulated facilities, help satisfy electrical codes, and simplify procurement for projects requiring multi-standards compliance.
With 50% integral or housing grounding, the unit offers flexible grounding paths that reduce harvesting of field wiring and simplify fault path design. This flexibility can shorten installation times, reduce wiring complexity, and improve maintenance efficiency during routine inspections or upgrades.
The Eaton unit carries a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For ROI, the plug-in design minimizes commissioning time, lowers field wiring needs, and reduces downtime during future replacements or upgrades, contributing to lower maintenance costs and faster project payback.
