Eaton P3BFDC3050G Circuit Breaker Plug-In Unit - 200 kAIC
Part Number: P3BFDC3050G
Quick Summary
Eaton P3BFDC3050G circuit breaker plug-in unit protects busway-powered equipment in industrial facilities. When old breakers fail during peak loads, maintenance becomes expensive and risky—this module offers quick swaps and reliable protection. UL 857, IEEE Certified, and CSA/ANSI listings back it for industrial use, while its Pow-R-Way III design supports scalable busway integration. In practice, this means faster maintenance, safer disconnections, and compliant protection with compact, modular form factors. Its 50A rating and high interrupt capability enable safe distribution in mid-size facilities. With a compact footprint and easy plug-in installation, it streamlines retrofits and new builds alike. Engineers value the documented compliance and long-term reliability for audit readiness and installation planning.

Plug
Plug-in design aligns with Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway systems, delivering seamless integration and faster changeovers. The three-pole F-frame configuration reduces bulky adapters and simplifies field replacement, which translates to shorter downtime during maintenance and upgrades. In practice, technicians can swap a used module for a new one in minutes, keeping critical lines energized. With a 50A amperage rating, the P3BFDC3050G protects medium-power circuits while leaving headroom for startup current surges. This precise rating helps avoid nuisance trips in demanding applications, reducing unnecessary outages and extending equipment life. The plug-in unit also supports scalable upgrades within the Pow-R-Way family as load demands evolve. High interrupt ratings—200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac—provide robust fault clearance without cascading failures, essential for motor drives and busway networks. Grounding options offer 50% internal grounding, simplifying installation in control cabinets where chassis grounding is already managed. The unit’s plug-in nature minimizes field wiring and enables straightforward retrofits in existing assemblies, reducing installation risk and ensuring reliable fault grounding paths for sensitive equipment. Compliance and certifications—UL 857, IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and ANSI—support regulatory acceptance across North America. Coupled with NEMA compliance, these listings simplify procurement audits and quality control, which is critical for panel builders, system integrators, and end users aiming for consistent safety standards. Finally, its compact dimensions and 25 lb weight make it easy to fit into crowded enclosures, while the 50% internal grounding and plug-in design streamline installation logistics for faster project completion.

FAQs
The P3BFDC3050G is designed specifically for Pow-R-Way III busway installations. It uses a three-pole, F-frame plug-in configuration that snaps into the busway segment without extensive rewiring, enabling faster changeouts and easier spare management. This results in reduced downtime during upgrades and safer, more predictable maintenance in panel and switchgear assemblies.
The unit is rated for 50A with interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, and 35 kAIC at 600V. This range supports reliable fault clearance for typical industrial loads, helps prevent nuisance trips during motor start-ups, and coordinates effectively with upstream protection devices to maintain uptime.
The product carries UL 857, IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and ANSI listings, with NEMA compliance as applicable. These certifications ensure compliance with North American safety and performance standards, easing procurement, integration with other certified components, and simplifying regulatory audits for panel builders and end users.
Installation benefits include a plug-in design for quick swaps, a compact footprint, and 50% internal grounding to simplify wiring. With dimensions of 12.36 in L, 5.43 in W, 21.2 in H and a weight of 25 lb, it fits into tight enclosures and supports straightforward retrofit into existing Pow-R-Way III busway installations.
ROI improves through reduced downtime, faster maintenance cycles, and fewer wiring errors thanks to plug-in modularity. The documented warranties (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) provide early-risk protection, while high interrupt ratings and certifications reduce regulatory risk and extend service life, supporting predictable O&M budgeting.
