Eaton P3BFDC3050GN circuit breaker plug-in unit - UL 857
Part Number: P3BFDC3050GN
Quick Summary
Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit protects busway power distribution in industrial facilities. Without reliable protection, short circuits and fault currents can cause costly downtime. This unit is ANSI IEEE certified, UL 857 listed, and CSA certified for safe, compliant operation. Rated at 50A with 200 kAIC at 240Vac, 100 kAIC at 480Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600Vac, it supports scalable protection for complex busway systems. With 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground, plug-in design and F-frame compatibility simplify installation and ongoing maintenance. The three-pole plug-in configuration reduces panel depth and speeds upgrade cycles in legacy plants. Engineers benefit from documented performance ratings and a robust warranty, supporting long-term reliability.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Pow-R-Way III design uses a three-pole F-frame breaker that fits standard busway configurations, reducing installation time and enabling quicker panel upgrades across facilities. This translates to lower labor costs and faster time-to-protect critical loads in manufacturing lines and distribution substations. Application: bolsters plant-wide protection in busy industrial environments, where downtime directly hits production output. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit delivers a 50A amperage rating with high interrupt ratings (200 kAIC at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, 35 kAIC at 600V), delivering dependable fault current interruption and enhanced safety margins. Application: ideal for machine rooms and feeder lines that require robust, standards-compliant protection and minimal nuisance trips. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground options streamline neutral grounding and fault-path management, reducing wiring complexity and improving fault isolation. Application: simplifies wiring in complex busway layouts and supports consistent grounding practices. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance-ready construction (NEMA, UL 857, CSA, ANSI IEEE) reduces engineering review time and accelerates project approval. Application: suitable for multi-site deployments where standardization improves procurement and maintenance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Plug-in ease and compact footprint support faster maintenance cycles and retrofit projects without major panel redesigns. Application: beneficial for retrofit upgrades in aging facilities or expansions of existing busway systems.

FAQs
The P3BFDC3050GN is a three-pole, F-frame plug-in unit designed for standard busway configurations. It mounts readily into compatible Eaton busway sections, supports straightforward wiring of a 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding scheme, and reduces panel depth. For retrofit projects, confirm the busway length and pole arrangement align with the three-pole footprint to avoid clearance issues.
Key ratings include 50A amperage, with interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, and 35 kAIC at 600V. It provides 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Ground options, and is designed for busway protection in industrial environments. These ratings support reliable fault interruption across common plant power distributions.
Industries with centralized busway power distribution, such as manufacturing floors, material handling, data centers, and process plants, benefit from this unit. Its plug-in design, compact F-frame, and high interrupt ratings make it suitable for critical feeders and equipment that require fast, compliant isolation and minimal downtime in busy facilities.
The P3BFDC3050GN carries ANSI IEEE certification, UL 857 listing, and CSA certification, with NEMA compliance. These certifications support regulatory approvals, safe operation, and interoperability with standard electrical panels and busway systems in North America.
Eaton provides a warranty policy of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular inspection of neutral and grounding connections, as well as periodic functional testing of the plug-in unit, helps maintain reliability and extend service life in plant environments.
