FAQs
The P3BHFD3015N is a 3-pole plug-in circuit breaker designed for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway systems. It fits HFD frame configurations and supports 100% neutral operation with a 50% integral grounding option. Compatible installations include industrial power distribution panels, manufacturing lines, and data-center feeders that utilize Pow-R-Way III busways, enabling straightforward retrofits and expansions.
Key specifications include a 15A amperage rating, 3-pole configuration, 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 240/480 Vac, 25 kAIC at 600 Vac, 100% neutral, 50% integral grounding, and compliance with NEMA, IEEE, CSA, ANSI, and UL 857 standards. This combination supports reliable protection for mid-range industrial loads while meeting common regulatory requirements.
Yes. The P3BHFD3015N features high interrupt ratings (100 kAIC at 240/480 Vac and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac) and extensive certifications (IEEE, CSA, ANSI UL 857) along with NEMA compliance. This makes it well-suited for factories, process plants, and other facilities with elevated fault-current scenarios and strict safety standards.
The plug-in design enables rapid retrofits and straightforward replacements without extensive rewiring. This reduces commissioning time, minimizes field labor, and lowers maintenance costs over the unit’s lifecycle. In practice, operators can swap in the P3BHFD3015N during expansions or upgrades with minimal downtime and simplified spare-parts management.
