Eaton P3BFDC3225 Plug-in Circuit Breaker - 200 kAIC @ 240V
Part Number: P3BFDC3225
Quick Summary
Eaton P3BFDC3225 Plug-in Circuit Breaker is a Pow-R-Way III unit designed for busway protection in industrial power distribution. Upgrading panels and expanding busways often creates compatibility headaches, space constraints, and costly downtime. This unit carries ANSI/IEEE certification, UL 857 listing, CSA certification, and NEMA compliance to support reliable, safe operation. Its plug-in design, three-pole F-frame format, and 225 A rating translate into faster installs, tighter footprints, and better maintenance planning. In practice, it enables robust busway protection with documented performance across 240 VAC, 480 VAC, and 600 VAC environments. This combination supports energy management initiatives, reduces installation complexity, and offers predictable lifecycle costs for engineers and procurement teams.

Three-pole F-frame plug-in unit delivers a compact footprint and fast installation for Pow-R-Way III busway protection. The plug-in design reduces wiring runs and simplifies field assembly, which translates to shorter outage windows during installation or retrofit. Engineers benefit from a standardized, modular approach that fits side-by-side with other Eaton busway components. This configuration supports rapid commissioning in expansions and scalable protection for growing industrial facilities. High amperage and interrupt ratings ensure reliable fault clearance across critical feeders. With 225 A nominal and 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, the device tolerates high-energy faults while maintaining selective coordination with downstream protection. The 100 kAIC rating at 480 Vac and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac extend its applicability across diverse process environments. In practice, this reduces unplanned downtime, minimizes arc-flash exposure in maintenance, and improves overall plant availability. Grounding options provide installation flexibility in varied environments. The 50% integral/housing grounding option allows designers to meet site grounding schemes without adding extra components. This approach simplifies stocking and improves maintenance planning by reducing part numbers. The plug-in unit maintains safety margins while enabling clean, organized busway terminations in dense electrical rooms. Standards alignment reduces procurement risk and speeds audits. ANSI/IEEE certification, UL 857 listing, CSA certification, and NEMA compliance confirm safety performance and interoperability with common electrical equipment. Documentation supports regulatory reviews and helps procurement teams justify product selections. The P3BFDC3225 is compatible with Eaton's broader Pow-R-Way III busway ecosystem, delivering consistent performance across installations. Lifecycle and support emphasize reliability and total cost of ownership. Eaton's warranty policy covers one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. This reduces total cost of ownership by aligning with project schedules and maintenance windows. In practice, customers benefit from predictable service intervals, readily available spare parts, and clear replacement strategies as facilities scale.
