FAQs
The P3BFDB3080N is designed for Pow-R-Way III busway installations as a three-pole plug-in unit with an F-frame design. It accepts 80A service with 100% neutral and 50% integral or housing grounding, making it compatible with standard Pow-R-Way III busways. Its dimensions (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height) support compact layouts.
The P3BFDB3080N provides an 80A interrupt rating with 18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC and 600 VAC. This high interrupt capability minimizes arc energy and fault duration, safeguarding busway conductors and connected loads. For higher voltages, select devices with appropriate ratings to maintain fast clearance and regulatory compliance.
This unit carries UL 857 approval, ANSI/IEEE certification, and CSA certification, with NEMA compliance. These marks indicate conformance to recognized safety and performance standards, reducing regulatory risk and enabling smoother audits in manufacturing, data centers, and process facilities.
Its plug-in design for Pow-R-Way III, 100% neutral, and 50% integral/housing grounding streamline wiring and grounding tasks. At 25 lb and with compact dimensions, handling and mounting are straightforward, accelerating commissioning, reducing labor costs, and enabling faster fault isolation during maintenance cycles.
With an 80A rating and high interrupt capability, coupled with UL/ANSI/CSA certifications and a one-year warranty (18 months from shipment), the unit reduces downtime, improves uptime for critical busway circuits, simplifies compliance reporting, and lowers lifecycle risk in industrial power distribution deployments.
