FAQs
The P3BFDC3030 is designed as a plug-in unit for Pow-R-Way III busways. Align the unit with the busway bus bars, ensure proper seating, connect grounding per 50% integral grounding, and secure mounting hardware. Confirm NEMA compliance and verify voltage rating before energizing. Follow Eaton installation guidelines for a safe, rapid swap.
The device provides 200 kAIC at 240 VAC, 100 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 35 kAIC at 600 VAC. This performance supports reliable fault interruption across typical industrial feeders and equipment protected by the Pow-R-Way III system.
Yes. With a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 480 VAC, this 3-pole, 30A plug-in unit is well-suited for medium- to high-current equipment and circuits within 480 VAC distribution schemes, while maintaining compliance with IEEE, CSA, ANSI, and UL 857 standards.
The unit is IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and ANSI UL 857 compliant, with NEMA compatibility. These certifications validate electrical safety, performance under fault conditions, and regulatory readiness, simplifying procurement, audits, and cross-border installations for industrial facilities.
The plug-in design enables rapid field swaps, minimizing downtime during maintenance and component replacement. This translates to higher line availability, lower labor costs, and faster throughput for uptime-critical operations, which improves overall return on investment for busy manufacturing and processing facilities.
