Eaton P3BFDB3030 Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker - UL 857
Part Number: P3BFDB3030
Quick Summary
Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit provides reliable protection for busway systems in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle to find plug-in breakers that fit tight busway configurations without compromising safety or extending downtime. It carries ANSI and CSA certifications, UL 857 listing, and IEEE certification, with NEMA compliance to meet common industrial standards. For project teams aiming for fast, compliant installations and predictable performance, this three-pole, F-frame solution reduces wiring complexity and simplifies replacements across aging or expanding busway networks. In procurement conversations, this model also supports standardization with a 30A rating and consistent interrupt ratings, helping maintenance teams plan spare parts and minimize downtime.

Three-pole, F-frame design enables plug-in compatibility. The business impact is faster installation and clearer spare-parts planning. This is ideal for busway-based power distribution in manufacturing lines. The 30A amperage rating provides appropriate protection for typical light-to-moderate industrial loads, reducing nuisance tripping and enabling reliable operation across shift changes. This translates to less downtime and simpler maintenance planning for critical lines in process and assembly environments. The unit offers an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480/600 VAC, delivering high fault current protection for demanding applications while maintaining selectivity with upstream devices. This is essential for safety, compliance, and limiting damage in fault events across plant floors.

FAQs
The P3BFDB3030 is built as a three-pole, plug-in unit designed specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Way busway configurations. It ensures straightforward fitment with standard busway assemblies, reducing field wiring and facilitating quick replacements. This compatibility supports both new installations and retrofit projects in industrial facilities, enabling consistent protection across existing power distribution layouts.
Key specs include a 30A amperage rating, 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC, and 14 kAIC at 480 and 600 VAC. It features 50% integral grounding and a three-pole, F-frame design. These ratings provide dependable fault protection for busway circuits while allowing safe operation across typical industrial loads and fault scenarios.
Yes. Its plug-in design and compatible three-pole busway integration make it ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects. Quick drop-in installation minimizes wiring changes, reduces downtime, and supports maintenance strategies that emphasize standardization and faster spare-parts provisioning without sacrificing safety or performance.
The unit holds ANSI and CSA certifications, UL 857 listing, and IEEE certification, with NEMA compliance. These credentials ensure regulatory alignment across many markets and simplify procurement by meeting widely recognized safety and performance standards.
The plug-in design reduces installation time and field wiring, lowering labor costs and downtime during upgrades or replacements. High interrupt ratings improve fault protection, potentially reducing downstream equipment damage and maintenance frequency. Standardized components simplify spares management, contributing to predictable maintenance budgets and faster mean time to repair (MTTR).
