The P3BFD3225 uses a three-pole F-frame Pow-R-Way III design to deliver dependable, scalable protection for busway installations, minimizing fault impact on downstream equipment. By offering a 225 A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac, it reduces the risk of costly downtime and equipment damage during faults. This translates to improved uptime and lower maintenance costs for plant feeders and control power circuits. The plug-in unit format enables fast replacement and service, reducing commissioning time and enabling quicker expansions or upgrades in evolving production lines. Grounding options show 50% integral/housing grounding, supporting varied system grounding schemes while maintaining safety margins. The unit’s NEMA compliance and broad certifications provide procurement confidence and regulatory alignment for industrial facilities. Its busway compatibility simplifies integration with existing distribution infrastructure, delivering a compact footprint (12.36 in L, 21.2 in H, 5.43 in W) without sacrificing protection margins. Weighing 25 lb, the P3BFD3225 is easy to handle during installation and maintenance, contributing to safer, faster engineering workflows. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides business assurance, while the CSA, IEEE, UL 857, and ANSI certifications support compliance across North American facilities. This combination of protection, ease of installation, and certified reliability makes the P3BFD3225 well suited for high-demand manufacturing lines, data centers with busway feeders, and process industries relying on modular power distribution.
