Three-pole design with an F-frame Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit provides a standardized protection module that can be dropped into compatible busway feeders. This reduces field wiring complexity and speeds up panel assembly, lowering installation time and training needs for maintenance staff. In practice, technicians experience faster breaker swaps and more predictable electrical clearances in dense industrial layouts. High interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 240 and 480 V, and 25 kAIC at 600 V, ensure robust short-circuit protection across common industrial feeders, translating to reduced downtime and safer fault response. The 50% integral/housing grounding option simplifies grounding schemes and reduces the number of components required on site. Its compact footprint (12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, 5.43 in width) and 25 lb weight support easier handling and tighter panel design. Certifications and compliance (IEEE, CSA, UL 857, ANSI) provide regulatory assurance and interoperability with Eaton busway infrastructure. Compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busway and the plug category enhances installation workflow, spare parts planning, and overall lifecycle value for industrial facilities.

FAQs
The P3BHFD3050 is a three-pole, plug-in unit designed specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway systems. It integrates with the existing busway architecture without requiring custom adapters, leveraging the F-frame design for a secure fit. Field installation benefits include reduced wiring complexity, straightforward mounting, and compatibility with standard panel spacings, which shortens commissioning time and minimizes installation risk.
This unit provides a 50A amperage rating with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 240/480 Vac and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. It is a three-pole breaker with a Pow-R-Way III design, suitable for busway protection. Grounding options include 50% integral or housing grounding, and it weighs 25 lb with overall dimensions of 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width.
Yes. The unit carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, UL 857, and ANSI certifications and is NEMA compliant. This broad compliance supports regulatory acceptance across safety and performance guidelines, reduces the need for multiple vendor validations, and ensures reliable operation within standard industrial control environments.
The P3BHFD3050 is optimized for busway distribution in industrial facilities, including manufacturing lines, data centers, and process plants. Its 50A rating and high interrupt capabilities make it ideal for protecting modular busway feeders, while its compact footprint supports dense panel layouts and scalable protection as plant capacity grows.
The product is covered by Eaton’s warranty policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. Its modular plug-in design facilitates quick breaker replacements and reduced maintenance downtime. Routine inspections, compatible spare parts, and standardized frame design help lower lifecycle costs and extend service intervals in typical industrial installation cycles.
