Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design — reduces water ingress risk and nuisance trips during sprinkler system activations, significantly improving uptime in downstream busways. For engineering teams, this means fewer field interventions and calmer protective device coordination in flood-prone or high-humidity facilities, especially in panels located near sprinkler heads. Three-pole F-frame configuration supports standard busway distribution architectures and ensures consistent electrical coordination with upstream feeders. The plug-in design accelerates installation, minimizes wiring, and simplifies spare-part management on fast-moving assembly lines. Amperage rating of 30A with multiple interrupt ratings—200 kAIC at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, and 35 kAIC at 600V—delivers selective protection for diverse loads. This translates to safer, more reliable shutdowns in critical power paths. Grounding options include 50% internal grounding, simplifying field install practices and reducing external grounding conductor runs in compact switchgear. This feature helps meet site-specific grounding strategies while maintaining isolation between line and ground faults. Physical footprint of 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width, with a 25 lb weight, preserves valuable panel space and eases retrofits. Certifications include ANSI, CSA, IEEE, and UL 857, aligning with global electrical safety and performance standards. NEMA-compliant design further supports nationwide and international procurement and installation.

FAQs
The P3BFDC3030GSP is designed for sprinkler-proof plug-in installation in standard busway distributions. It uses a three-pole F-frame form factor and supports typical panel and busway gutters, with a 50% internal grounding option to simplify wiring. This makes retrofits straightforward in facilities with sprinkler-rated zones while preserving electrical coordination with upstream protection devices.
This unit is rated at 30A with multiple interrupt ratings: 200 kAIC at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, and 35 kAIC at 600V. Such ratings enable selective coordination across multi-voltage feeds, reducing fault energy and improving safe shutdowns for critical loads within busway-based distributions.
Yes. The P3BFDC3030GSP features a sprinkler-proof plug-in design and is UL 857 listed with ANSI/CSA certifications, ensuring reliability in sprinkler-protected environments. Its protective features, compact footprint, and grounding options make it well-suited for factories and warehouses where water exposure and safety compliance are concerns.
The device carries ANSI, CSA, IEEE, and UL 857 certifications, and is designed to be NEMA compliant. These credentials support cross-border procurement and installation, helping satisfy common regulatory requirements for industrial power distribution equipment.
The unit’s sprinkler-proof design, high interrupt ratings, and compact form factor reduce installation time, downtime, and maintenance complexity in busy facilities. With a one-year warranty (18 months from shipment) and durable busway compatibility, operators typically experience lower lifecycle costs and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in production environments.
