Eaton P3BFDB3100N Pow-R-Way - UL 857 Certified
Part Number: P3BFDB3100N
Quick Summary
Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit by Eaton provides dependable protection for busway distribution in industrial facilities. When migrating to modern busway systems, engineers often face compatibility gaps and slow, error-prone field wiring that drives downtime. This model delivers proven safety and performance, backed by UL 857, CSA Certified, and ANSI/IEEE Certified standards to support regulatory alignment across North America. The unit offers 100% Neutral and 50% Integral/Housing grounding, simplifying grounding schemes and improving fault-path reliability in complex power layouts. With three poles and a 100 A rating, it accommodates common industrial loads while delivering strong interrupt ratings (18 kAIC at 240 VAC, 14 kAIC at 480/600 VAC). In practice, it streamlines procurement, reduces installation time, and enhances overall system reliability for busway distributions.

Three-pole F-frame design ensures full compatibility with Eaton’s Pow-R-Way busway systems, enabling a straightforward plug-in installation and reducing retrofit challenges. This translates to faster commissioning and lower risk of mis-wired connections in crowded electrical rooms. The unit delivers high interrupt ratings—18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480/600 VAC—providing robust fault protection for motors, drives, and transformers in dynamic industrial environments, which lowers maintenance costs and downtime. Neutral options at 100% and grounding options at 50% integral or housing simplify grounding topology and current-path design, reducing field wiring errors and aligning with safety codes. Its compact footprint and plug-in approach fit into space-constrained panels, accelerating maintenance and minimizing structural modifications during installations. Finally, UL 857, CSA Certified, ANSI/IEEE Certified, and NEMA Compliant status support regulatory alignment and streamlined procurement across projects, improving total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution.

FAQs
The P3BFDB3100N is a three-pole plug-in unit designed for Eaton Pow-R-Way busway systems. Its compact footprint (12.36 in L x 21.2 in H x 5.43 in W) and 25 lb weight support straightforward mounting in standard busway enclosures. Plan space for the 100% neutral and 50% integral/housing grounding, and verify that the enclosure allows plug-in installation without extensive wiring harnesses. Ensure alignment with busway feeders and consistent clearance around the unit for thermal and maintenance access.
The unit provides a 100 A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 18 kAIC at 240 VAC and 14 kAIC at 480 VAC and 600 VAC. It features 100% neutral and 50% integral or housing grounding, making it suitable for standard three-phase busway configurations and helping ensure proper fault clearing and protection coordination in typical industrial loads.
Yes. It carries UL 857 and CSA certification, and ANSI/IEEE certification, with NEMA compliance as well. This combination supports regulatory alignment for North American installations, simplifies supplier qualification, and helps meet safety and performance requirements for busway protection applications.
The device supports 100% neutral and 50% integral or housing grounding. This configuration simplifies grounding topology, improves fault-path reliability, and reduces wiring errors when integrating with mixed-load busway environments and standard panel layouts.
The unit measures 12.36 inches in length, 21.2 inches in height, and 5.43 inches in width, with a weight of 25 pounds. These dimensions favor installation in space-constrained busway enclosures and allow rapid replacement or upgrade of existing breakers without major structural changes, supporting efficient maintenance programs.
