Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 3-pole F-frame Pow-R-Way III design matches common busway configurations, enabling plug-in installation that reduces commissioning time and on-site wiring errors, which translates to lower project costs and faster time-to-startup in lean manufacturing environments. Application: well-suited for factory floors and distribution centers seeking modular protection that scales with line-side enhancements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 100A amperage rating with 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC provides robust interruption performance, improving system safety margins and reducing the probability of collateral damage during faults in high-load busways. Application: critical in data centers and process plants where uptime and fault clearance speed are paramount. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 50% internal grounding and a compact footprint (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) minimize enclosure space while maintaining effective protection, simplifying enclosure design and reducing material costs. Application: retrofit projects and new builds with space constraints. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL 857, ANSI CSA IEEE certifications plus NEMA compliance assure regulatory acceptance and easier procurement, supporting audit readiness and supplier qualification. Application: common in regulated industries requiring traceable conformity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: One-year warranty under Eaton policy offers protection against early-life failures, reducing maintenance risk and supporting total cost of ownership (TCO) improvements. Application: essential for facilities prioritizing predictable maintenance budgets.

FAQs
The P3BFD3100G is a plug-in, three-pole breaker designed for Pow-R-Way III busways. Ensure frame compatibility (F-frame) and verify busway pitch matches the unit. Connect to the busway with the plug-in interface to minimize wiring and reduce commissioning time. The unit supports 50% internal grounding and provides straightforward mounting in standard enclosures.
With 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC, the P3BFD3100G offers high fault-current withstand. This improves fault clearance reliability and limits upstream damage, which is critical for protecting feeders, transformers, and busway connections in high-load industrial environments.
Yes. The unit is UL 857 listed and ANSI/CSA/IEEE certified, with NEMA compliance. These certifications support compliance documentation, supplier qualification, and regulatory audits, making it suitable for industries such as automotive, data centers, and process manufacturing.
Dimensions are 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width, with a shipping weight around 25 lb. This relatively compact footprint helps minimize enclosure size while maintaining required protection ratings, allowing easier retrofits and modular growth within existing power distribution enclosures.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This policy supports a predictable maintenance window and reduces lifecycle risk, while the modular plug-in design simplifies replacement or spare part strategy for ongoing uptime.
