FAQs
The P3BFDC3015GN is designed as a plug-in circuit breaker for Pow-R-Way III busway systems. Begin by confirming the unit matches the FDC frame type and supports a 3-pole, 15 A configuration. Mount into the busway station, secure connections per the panel design, then verify grounding and neutral continuity (50% internal ground, 100% neutral). Follow the Eaton specification sheet for torque and wiring practices to ensure compliant, reliable operation.
Key ratings include 15A amperage, and interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 VAC, 100 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 35 kAIC at 600 VAC. The unit uses a 3-pole configuration within an F frame type, and offers 50% internal grounding with 100% neutral, ensuring safe fault handling and balanced distribution in typical industrial power systems.
Yes. The unit is IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and UL 857 listed, with NEMA compliance. This combination supports regulatory acceptance, safe operation, and streamlined procurement for facilities bound by industry standards and commissioning requirements.
Best suited for modular Pow-R-Way III busway distribution where compact, scalable protection is needed. The 3-pole, 15A configuration fits branch protection for equipment panels, conveyors, and automation racks, while the high interrupt ratings provide protection for high‑inrush and fault currents common in manufacturing lines.
The unit measures 12.36 in long, 21.2 in high, 5.43 in wide and weighs about 25 lb. This compact footprint simplifies panel layout, reduces enclosure footprint, and eases handling during installation or replacement in dense electrical rooms or retrofits.
