FAQs
When installing the P3BFDC3150N, ensure compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busway frames, account for the 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width, and plan for a 25 lb unit weight. Verify grounding options (100% Neutral or 50% Integral/Housing) and confirm mounting accessibility for plug-in replacement during maintenance. This reduces commissioning time and minimizes service interruptions in modular busway configurations.
Key ratings include a 150 A amperage rating with interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 VAC, 100 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 35 kAIC at 600 VAC. These figures indicate strong fault containment across multivoltage busways, supporting safe operation in high fault-current environments and enabling proper coordination with downstream protection devices.
Yes. The unit is specifically designed for busway protection with a plug-in, three-pole configuration and a Pow-R-Way III design. It supports modular installation, rapid plug-in replacements, and robust fault protection, making it well-suited for industrial facilities with busway-based power distribution, including manufacturing lines and data-center infrastructure.
The P3BFDC3150N carries IEEE certification, UL 857 listing, ANSI compliance, and CSA certification, along with NEMA compatibility. These certifications help ensure safety, performance, and reliability while simplifying procurement and regulatory approvals for critical facilities.
By enabling fast plug-in installation, reducing wiring complexity, and allowing modular upgrades, the P3BFDC3150N minimizes downtime during maintenance and retrofits. Its durable build and standard certifications also lower operating risk and spare-part diversity, delivering lower lifecycle costs and faster return on investment for busway-powered facilities.
