Three-pole design with a 225 A rating delivers robust interrupt capacity for busway feeders, reducing fault-related outages and enabling safer startup sequences. In practice, this translates to shorter downtime and lower maintenance costs in manufacturing lines that rely on rapid protection. The unit provides 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac, aligning with typical industrial fault profiles while keeping panel footprints compact and wiring simpler. Sprinkler-proof plug-in construction enhances safety in environments where sprinkler systems are present, supporting compliance and reducing risk during maintenance windows. Grounding options include 50% integral or housing grounding, offering installation flexibility and aiding systematic fault current paths in large installations. Compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busway ensures modularity, fast field replacement, and scalable protection as plant layouts evolve. The 12.36 in length, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width fit standard enclosures while maintaining serviceability. The included warranty and Eaton’s selling policies add a predictable support framework for procurement and lifecycle planning. This combination supports long-term total cost of ownership reductions, improved uptime, and streamlined maintenance programs.

FAQs
Begin by verifying busway compatibility and power ratings, then remove the busway connector to expose the plug-in mounting area. Align the P3BFD3225SP with the three-pole busbar, insert firmly, and engage the housing. Tighten mounting screws to specification, connect the 50% integral grounding option if required, and test for continuity and ground fault paths. Always follow Eaton installation guides and verify NEMA compliance before energizing.
The P3BFD3225SP provides 65 kAIC at 240 Vac, 25 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 18 kAIC at 600 Vac. These ratings support fast, safe interruption across common industrial fault conditions and align with typical Pow-R-Way III busway protection requirements.
Yes. The unit features a sprinkler-proof plug-in design and is intended for use in sprinkler-protected environments. It also supports 50% integral or housing grounding, enhancing safe operation in fire-suppressed facilities and ensuring regulatory alignment for critical facilities.
This product carries CSA Certification, ANSI/IEEE Certification, and UL 857 listing, along with NEMA compliance. These certifications support regulatory acceptance across regions and facilitate procurement within regulated industries such as data centers, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Warranty terms state one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. The plug-in design shortens maintenance cycles and simplifies replacement, reducing downtime and labor costs. Combined with strong fault ratings and modular busway compatibility, this yields lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment in high-demand production environments.
