Eaton P3BHFD3030 Pow-R-Way III Circuit Breaker - 100 kAIC
Part Number: P3BHFD3030
Quick Summary
Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit delivers reliable busway protection with fast, selective tripping. This module is designed to integrate with Eaton’s busway systems, helping engineers reduce installation time and lifecycle costs. Projects often struggle to match protection devices to busway couplings and grounding schemes, risking nuisance trips or noncompliance. The P3BHFD3030 delivers UL 857, IEEE, ANSI, and CSA certifications that reassure customers during audits, while offering a 30A rating and 100 kAIC interrupt capability at 240 and 480 Vac, plus 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. By combining a compact plug-in footprint with a 50% integral grounding option and NEMA compliance, it streamlines field installations and improves maintenance efficiency for OEMs and panel builders.
