FAQs
Plan for a plug-in installation that matches the Pow-R-Way III busway footprint. The unit uses a 3-pole 20A breaker in an F-frame, with overall dimensions of 12.36 in deep, 21.2 in high, and 5.43 in wide. Ensure enclosure space, mounting alignment, and grounding scheme accommodate the 50% internal grounding option to minimize external grounding runs.
The unit features a 3-pole 20A breaker with an interrupt rating of 18 kAIC at 240 Vac and 14 kAIC at 480 Vac and 600 Vac. It is IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 listed, with NEMA compliance to support broad regulatory adoption in industrial panels and busway systems.
Yes. The P3BFDB3020G is designed to align with NEMA-compliant control panels and busway configurations. Its plug-in format simplifies integration within standard enclosures while maintaining compliance with established electrical safety standards.
50% Internal Grounding means half of the grounding path is integrated inside the unit, reducing external grounding conductor runs and simplifying field wiring. This can lower installation time and improve fault-clearing performance in busway-based systems where internal ground paths are advantageous.
The plug-in design enables rapid replacement during preventive maintenance or in response to a fault, minimizing downtime. The high interrupt rating and broad certifications reduce spares variety and regulatory risk, while compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways supports scalable expansions with predictable total cost of ownership.
