Eaton P3BFDC3175GN Circuit Breaker Plug-in Unit 200 kAIC
Part Number: P3BFDC3175GN
Quick Summary
The Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit safely interrupts faults to protect busway installations and keep critical distribution paths energized. Design engineers face limited space, rising fault-current levels, and the challenge of field replacements in live systems—areas where modular plug-in units provide clear benefits. This model carries UL 857, IEEE Certified, and CSA Certified marks, with NEMA compliance and ANSI alignment to meet demanding safety and interchange standards. The plug-in architecture and a 175 A rating enable quick installation, easier maintenance, and reduced commissioning time, translating into lower project risk and faster time-to-value. With 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding, the solution supports balanced current paths and reliable fault isolation, while compatible busway integration minimizes wiring and space requirements.

Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Three-pole Pow-R-Way III design provides robust protection for busway feeders, enabling compact, modular installations with predictable performance. This reduces panel footprint and procurement complexity, accelerating project timelines in data centers, manufacturing lines, and commercial buildings. The unit is ideally used in industrial facilities that rely on reliable busway distribution and fast, correctable fault interruption to maintain uptime. High interrupt ratings, including 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac, protect downstream equipment and minimize arc-flash exposure. This capability is essential for heavy manufacturing, power-intensive processes, and critical infrastructure feeders. Neutral options include 100% Neutral and 50% Internal Grounding, delivering balanced current paths and safer fault clearance. Applications span multi-node distribution in process plants and data centers where precise neutral referencing is required. Plug-in architecture and NEMA compliance simplify retrofit and new-build integrations, enabling faster commissioning and reduced wiring complexity. The rugged F-frame supports reliable long-term operation in harsh environments, while 175 A rating accommodates mid-range distribution needs. Warranty and support follow Eaton’s Selling Policy 25-000, providing coverage that reduces lifecycle risk and ensures consistency across projects.
