FAQs
The P3BFDC3080G is designed as a plug-in unit for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway systems, providing straightforward mounting within standard busway enclosures. Its 3-Pole, 80A configuration aligns with 80A branch protection schemes, while the F-frame design supports reliable mechanical fit and electrical coordination with adjacent modules. This combination facilitates quick upgrades and scalable protection in plant environments.
The P3BFDC3080G features an 80A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac. These ratings determine the fault current the device can safely interrupt, enabling dependable protection for motor drives and feeders even during high-energy faults. This helps maintain uptime and reduces downstream damage in industrial facilities.
Yes. The P3BFDC3080G supports high-voltage applications consistent with 480V and 600V systems due to its 100 kAIC at 480 Vac and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac interrupt ratings. This makes it suitable for mid- to high-voltage distribution nodes in manufacturing plants, where robust fault current handling and reliable protection are essential for critical equipment.
The unit carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI, and UL 857 certifications, along with NEMA Compliant status. This certification suite supports compliance across North American regulatory frameworks, reduces audit risk, and accelerates approvals for new facilities or retrofits. For procurement teams, these certifications translate to broader supplier acceptance and faster project timelines.
The plug-in design facilitates rapid replacement or upgrades without extensive rewiring, shortening maintenance windows and reducing downtime costs. Its modular 80A protection aligns with common distribution architectures, enabling shorter commissioning times and easier spares stocking. Over time, these factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership and improved equipment availability in high-demand environments.
