FAQs
The P3BHFD3045G is designed as a plug-in circuit breaker unit for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busways. It fits 3-pole configurations within the HFD frame and uses a 50% internal grounding approach, enabling straightforward integration with existing busway assemblies and minimizing field wiring during retrofits.
This unit provides a 45A amperage rating with an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 240 Vac and 480 Vac, and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. These ratings support high fault current environments, protecting downstream equipment such as motors and transformers and reducing the risk of equipment damage during faults.
The assembly is IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and UL 857 listed, with ANSI alignment. It is also NEMA compliant, ensuring broad regulatory acceptance and easier procurement across multinational projects while maintaining safety and interoperability.
The plug-in design allows rapid breaker replacement without extensive disassembly, minimizing production downtime. This is particularly advantageous during scheduled maintenance windows or line changes in high‑throughput environments, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reducing labor costs.
By combining robust fault protection, regulatory compliance, and fast maintenance capabilities, the P3BHFD3045G delivers higher uptime, safer operation, and lower lifecycle costs. Its compact dimensions and grounding simplicity also support scalable expansion and retrofit projects within factory floors and automated systems.
