FAQs
Installation begins with confirming busway compatibility and the three-pole F-frame configuration. Mount the plug-in unit in the designated busway slot, connect the 100% neutral path, and configure grounding with 50% integral or housing ground as required. Verify 150 A rating, ensure proper alignment, and secure connections per manufacturer torque specs. The compact dimensions (12.36 in L, 5.43 in W, 21.2 in H) facilitate retrofit into confined panels and existing Pow-R-Way III installations, reducing commissioning time.
The unit provides 150 A rated current with fault-interruption ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 25 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 18 kAIC at 600 VAC. It supports 100% Neutral and 50% Integral/Housing grounding. This makes it suitable for three-pole busway feeders in industrial facilities, enabling reliable protection across varying supply voltages and load conditions.
The P3BFD3150N carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 certifications and is NEMA Compliant. These standards ensure electrical safety, reliability, and compatibility with common industrial control gear. The combination supports regulatory compliance in most manufacturing environments and simplifies procurement for projects requiring formal certification documentation.
Yes. The unit is part of the Pow-R-Way III family and uses a plug-in design compatible with three-pole F-frame breakers and busway assemblies. Its 50% integral/Housing grounding option and 100% Neutral support align with common busway configurations, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrades without reworking existing grounding and neutral layouts.
