Eaton P3BFDB3100GN Plug-In Circuit Breaker - UL857 Certified
Part Number: P3BFDB3100GN
Quick Summary
Eaton P3BFDB3100GN is a plug‑in circuit breaker for busway protection in industrial power distribution. This solution reduces downtime by enabling rapid module swaps without full panel disassembly, a common bottleneck in crowded switchgear environments. It carries ANSI/IEEE, CSA, and UL 857 certifications, reinforcing safety and regulatory compliance while remaining NEMA compliant for broad installation. The three‑pole F‑frame design supports scalable protection with a 100 A rating and an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC (14 kAIC at 480/600 VAC), plus 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding. For maintenance planners and reliability engineers, this translates to faster service, predictable trip performance, and lower total cost of ownership in automation‑heavy facilities.
