Feature: Three-pole F-frame design provides robust, three-phase protection for busway-fed circuits. Business Impact: Enhances feeder reliability and reduces unplanned downtime in critical manufacturing lines. Application: Suitable for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway installations in industrial facilities. The 80A rating aligns with typical feeder protection while preserving headroom for transient surges in dynamic processes. Feature: 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac interrupt ratings. Business Impact: Maximizes fault withstand during short-circuit events, safeguarding motors and drives. Application: Fits varied voltage tiers across process plants, enabling standardized protection schemes without component proliferation. Feature: 50% internal grounding option. Business Impact: Simplifies grounding topology and reduces material handling during installation. Application: Ideal for facilities with shared grounding schemes in dense power layouts. Feature: NEMA compliant and UL 857/IEEE/CSA/ANSI certified. Business Impact: Ensures regulatory alignment, simplifies audits, and accelerates approvals. Application: Essential for regulated industries and new-build projects. Feature: Compact footprint and weight (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width, 25 lb). Business Impact: Facilitates easy replacement and retrofit in existing switchgear enclosures. Application: Module fits into standard busway-ready panels, reducing field modification. Feature: Warranty and support per Eaton policy (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment). Business Impact: Improves total cost of ownership and provides a clear escalation path. Application: Guarantees post-installation confidence for maintenance teams.

FAQs
P3BFD3080G is a three-pole plug-in unit designed specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busways. It mounts as a modular protection device within compatible busway sections, sharing common electrical and mechanical footprints to minimize retrofit work. Ensure the panel enclosure supports three-pole plug-in breakers and verify conductor termination access aligns with the 12.36 in depth and 5.43 in width. This streamlines procurement and reduces field modification time.
The P3BFD3080G delivers 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac. This multi-voltage capability supports diverse industrial loads while maintaining robust short-circuit protection. When selecting protection levels, match the circuit’s prospective short-circuit current and system voltage to ensure reliable isolation without nuisance tripping under normal transients.
This unit is ideal for manufacturing, process facilities, and mixed-use industrial plants requiring dependable busway protection. It fits Eaton Pow-R-Way III busways, protects feeders feeding motors and drives, and supports compact, modular switchgear designs. Use in new installations or retrofits where standardized UL/IEEE/CSA/ANSI-compliant protection is prioritized to simplify audits and maintenance.
P3BFD3080G carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 certifications, and is NEMA compliant. These standards ensure electrical safety, performance reliability, and compatibility with regulated environments. For facilities undergoing regular inspections or needing supplier qualification, this certification portfolio simplifies procurement, testing, and regulatory approvals.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first, under policy 25-000. Post-installation support includes product documentation, datasheets, and access to Eaton technical support. The protection reliability and fast fault isolation contribute to reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and a favorable total cost of ownership for power distribution investments.
