Eaton P3BFWF3080VGN Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker - UL 857
Part Number: P3BFWF3080VGN
Quick Summary
The Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit provides reliable overcurrent protection for busway power distribution. Engineers choose this solution to minimize panel wiring and shorten installation times in demanding industrial settings. Maintenance and downtime are reduced because plug-in modules simplify replacement and troubleshooting compared to traditional bolt-in breakers. The unit carries CSA, IEEE, UL 857, and ANSI certifications, reinforcing safety and regulatory compliance for modern control panels. Designed for 80A loads with 40 kAIC, its plug-in design supports 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding, while a vertical-hanger feature streamlines mounting. In practice, this combination translates to faster deployment, lower lifecycle costs, and improved system reliability in power distribution networks.

The plug-in design of the Pow-R-Way III unit accelerates installation by dropping into a compatible busway frame without a full enclosure rewire. This translates to shorter commissioning times and fewer on-site errors during panel assembly, critical in high-mix manufacturing lines. With an 80A rating and a 40 kAIC interrupt rating at 220-240 Vac, this breaker provides robust short-circuit protection while keeping energized equipment safe. The three-pole configuration reduces the number of components needed and simplifies coordination with downstream protection devices in power distribution schemes. 100% neutral support and 50% internal grounding address essential grounding and return path requirements, improving device fault handling and metering accuracy. The NEMA-compliant build, along with UL 857 and ANSI certifications, supports compliance in regulated facilities and multi-site projects. Vertical hanger and a compact footprint, 12.36 in by 21.2 in by 5.43 in and a 25 lb weight, enable clean panel layouts and straightforward replacement when needed. The unit is designed for busway applications within F-frame (15-225 A) architectures, aligning with Eaton’s Pow-R-Way III family for consistent protection philosophy. From a lifecycle perspective, the 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) reduces risk for procurement projects and service contracts. Pairing this plug-in unit with Eaton’s busway solutions delivers predictable performance, spare parts availability, and regulatory confidence across industrial environments.
