Special features
Sprinkler-proof plug-in
Sprinkler-proof plug-in design reduces risk of accidental activation and aligns with fire-protection codes in sprinklered facilities. This means maintenance windows are shorter, replacement is faster, and downtime is minimized in critical distribution paths. Three-pole F-frame design ensures true three-phase protection across the standard 15-225 A range, with Sprinkler-proof plug and busway compatibility, enabling reliable coordination with upstream protective devices and simplifying field configuration. High interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 240/480 VAC and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC translate to robust fault handling, reduced panel downtime, and improved reliability for demanding loads such as motors and drives in manufacturing lines. A 50% internal grounding option eases installation in long busway runs while maintaining effective fault return paths and simplified grounding schemes. Compliance and compatibility are reinforced by NEMA compliance and certifications (UL 857, ANSI, CSA, IEEE), supporting standardized procurement, spare parts, and service in Eaton Pow-R-Way III systems.

FAQs
The P3BHFD3045GSP is a three-pole plug-in unit designed for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway systems. It uses the F-frame (three-pole) format and supports a 15-225 A range with sprinkler-proof plug-in capability, enabling straightforward integration into standard Pow-R-Way busways and compatible panels. When selecting, verify mounting within the busway module and ensure upstream protection devices coordinate with the 100 kAIC ratings.
The 100 kAIC interrupt rating means the device can safely interrupt short-circuit currents up to 100 kiloamperes at 240 or 480 volts, with 25 kAIC at 600 volts. This enhances system uptime by reducing fault propagation and allowing downstream protection to coordinate more effectively with feeders and motors in medium- to high-power distribution schemes.
Yes. The unit is designed for busway distributions and sprinkler-protected environments, aligning with service-entrance and cabinet-protection strategies in data centers, manufacturing floors, and other critical facilities. Its sprinkler-proof plug-in design and three-pole protection support reliable, modular upgrades without extensive rewiring, while maintaining essential fault-current protection and ease of maintenance.
This plug-in unit carries NEMA compliance with additional certifications including UL 857, ANSI, CSA, and IEEE. These standards ensure safety, interoperability, and reliable performance across industrial environments, facilitating code-compliant installations and easier procurement with common industry specifications.
The P3BHFD3045GSP leverages modular plug-in design for quick replacements, reducing maintenance downtime. Its 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) supports deployment in critical lines and simplifies service planning. With standardized components in Pow-R-Way III systems, spare parts availability and lifecycle management minimize total cost of ownership while protecting uptime.
