FAQs
The P3BFD3070GN is a three-pole plug-in unit designed for use with Pow-R-Way III busways. Begin by confirming busway compatibility, then mount the plug-in unit to the F-frame circuit breaker slot, ensuring the neutral connection is secured for 100% neutral operation and the grounding scheme uses the 50% internal ground option as specified. Verify ratings (70A, 65 kAIC @240V) and torque settings per Eaton installation guidelines, and perform a live-line check only after power isolation and proper PPE. This streamlined approach minimizes mis-wiring and speeds commissioning.
Key ratings include a 70 A continuous current rating with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC. It supports three poles and a 100% neutral arrangement with 50% internal grounding. These specs enable robust fault interruption for busway-fed loads and transient surge events typical in industrial environments.
Yes. The P3BFD3070GN is engineered as a plug-in unit within the Pow-R-Way III family, designed for seamless integration with compatible busway systems. Its F-frame, three-pole configuration and neutral/grounding options ensure straightforward compatibility with standard Eaton busway solutions, reducing integration risk and enabling consistent protection across installations.
The unit is IEEE Certified, ANSI and CSA Certified, and UL 857 listed, with NEMA compliance. These certifications address electrical safety, performance reliability, and regulatory acceptance, simplifying procurement, inspection approvals, and cross-site deployments in regulated facilities such as manufacturing, data centers, and healthcare-related environments.
A one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment provides early-life coverage, reducing risk during initial operation. The modular plug-in design simplifies field replacements, minimizing downtime and service costs. Together with strong interrupt ratings and robust grounding, this can lower total cost of ownership by reducing maintenance frequency and improving system uptime.
