FAQs
For optimal results, use the plug-in unit as a three-pole module within the Pow-R-Way III busway frame. Ensure proper alignment with the busway connectors, confirm the neutral lead is connected to the 100% neutral configuration, and follow the mounting clearance specified by Eaton. The unit is designed for quick plug-in installation, reducing field wiring and commissioning time, while maintaining compliant protection for 20A circuits.
Key specs include a 20A amperage rating, three-pole design, 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 Vac, and 14 kAIC at 480/600 Vac. It features a 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding, with a compact 12.36 in length, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width. These specifications enable reliable protection for busway feeders across varying voltages while supporting fast installation.
Yes. The unit is rated for 240 Vac as its primary high-current condition with 18 kAIC interrupt capability, and it maintains 14 kAIC at 480 Vac and 600 Vac. This makes it suitable for mixed-voltage industrial environments and busway feeders where fault currents and voltages vary, provided it remains within its 20A rating and busway compatibility.
The P3BFDB3020GN carries UL 857, ANSI, CSA certifications and IEEE recognition, plus NEMA compliance. These certifications confirm electrical safety, performance under standard test conditions, and regulatory compliance across North American installations, reducing procurement risk and accelerating site commissioning.
Eaton offers a one-year warranty from the date of installation or an eighteen-month window from shipment, whichever occurs first. This policy supports predictable budgeting for maintenance and parts, enabling proactive replacement planning and reducing unexpected downtime for power distribution upgrades.
