FAQs
The P3BFD3045GN is specifically designed for Pow-R-Way III busway systems and uses a three-pole F-frame plug-in configuration. It supports busway distribution with 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground, making retrofits straightforward. Verify mounting alignment and ensure the busway channel matches the three-pole plug-in footprint for a secure, code-compliant installation.
The unit provides a 45A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac. It is a three-pole breaker with 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground, designed for busway protection in industrial environments and compliant with UL 857 and related standards.
Yes. With 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, the P3BFD3045GN handles significant fault currents typical of manufacturing lines. Its three-pole design and busway compatibility provide reliable protection for large loads, while its plug-in form factor minimizes downtime during upgrades and maintenance.
This unit carries UL 857 and CSA Certified markings, along with IEEE Certified and ANSI approvals. It is also NEMA compliant, which supports compliance across North American facilities and helps meet common industrial procurement standards.
The plug-in design reduces installation and retrofit labor, shortening maintenance windows and lowering downtime costs. Coupled with the 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment per Eaton policy), this provides predictable maintenance planning and a favorable total cost of ownership for busway-based distribution networks.
