FAQs
To install the P3BFD3060NSP, confirm compatibility with the Pow-R-Way III busway, ensure proper sizing for the 60A rating, and align grounding options with the facility's grounding scheme. Use the sprinkler-proof plug-in design to minimize moisture exposure during insertion, and verify 100% neutral configuration for balanced loads. Plan for a clean 12.36 inch depth and 5.43 inch width to fit the intended panel space, and follow Eaton’s mounting guidelines to streamline commissioning.
The 60A rating denotes the maximum continuous current the device is intended to carry, while the interrupt ratings (65 kAIC at 240V, 25 kAIC at 480V, 18 kAIC at 600V) define the maximum fault current the breaker can interrupt safely. This combination provides substantial protection for busways and feeders, reducing the risk of equipment damage during short circuits. Ensure system fault current levels are within these limits during protective device coordination studies.
Yes. The unit features a sprinkler-proof plug-in design that minimizes moisture ingress and corrosion risk, supporting reliable operation in environments with humidity or exposure to water sprays. This makes it well-suited for life-safety zones, industrial plants, and areas near cooling towers or wash-down stations where environmental conditions can challenge electrical protection devices.
The P3BFD3060NSP carries CSA Certified, IEEE Certified, UL 857, and ANSI certifications and is NEMA Compliant. These marks indicate adherence to recognized safety and performance standards, facilitating regulatory approvals in North America and helping ensure safe operation, proper interoperability, and smoother acceptance testing in regulated facilities.
Long-term maintenance is simplified by the plug-in design and sprinkler-proof construction, which reduces service time and exposure while preserving system uptime. The device’s high interrupt ratings provide protection against costly fault events, supporting a lower total cost of ownership. ROI is driven by faster panel upgrades, reduced downtime, and consistent compliance with evolving electrical codes.
