Three-pole, 70A circuit breaker with 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V. This high interrupt capability protects critical busway feeders from fault currents, reducing downtime and repair costs. It's well-suited for industrial power distribution networks leveraging Eaton's Pow-R-Way III busway systems. Plug-in unit design within the FDC frame type enables fast field installation and reduces commissioning time. This simplifies wiring and minimizes installation errors, helping projects stay on schedule and within budget. Pairing with P3 busway sections also supports rapid, scalable expansion as load demands grow. 100% neutral option combined with 50% integral grounding improves load balancing and safety, reducing stray currents and simplifying grounding conductor routing in confined spaces. This is especially valuable in systems with multiple feeders and tight panel layouts. NEMA Compliant and certified to IEEE, CSA, ANSI, and UL 857 standards, the unit meets regulatory expectations while delivering robust protection. This compliance reduces audit risk and supports approval processes for regulated facilities. Compact dimensions and a robust 25 lb package make retrofit and new-build projects more manageable. The unit’s physical footprint supports installation in space-constrained panels without sacrificing fault protection or accessibility for service.

FAQs
The P3BFDC3070N is a three-pole plug-in unit designed specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway installations. It uses the FDC frame type and aligns with the 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width form factor. For quickest deployment, verify rail alignment, space for neutral connections, and grounding conductor routing within the panel or busway enclosure prior to mounting.
The unit provides a 70A amperage rating with 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 240V, 100 kAIC at 480V, and 35 kAIC at 600V. These ratings enable protection against high fault currents while maintaining selective coordination with adjacent breakers in the Pow-R-Way III system.
It carries IEEE Certified and CSA Certified labels, along with ANSI and UL 857 certifications, and is NEMA Compliant. These credentials help ensure regulatory compliance, safer operation, and easier approval in regulated facilities.
Yes. The unit supports 100% neutral configurations and offers 50% integral grounding. This configuration improves load balance, simplifies grounding conductor routing, and is compatible with standard Pow-R-Way III busway layouts for straightforward installations.
Selecting the P3BFDC3070N yields faster installation due to its plug-in, frame-compatible design, reducing commissioning time and labor costs. High interrupt ratings, robust certifications, and NEMA compliance translate to reduced maintenance interruptions, longer equipment life, and predictable, lower total cost of ownership for industrial power distribution projects.
