FAQs
The P3BHFD3070GN is designed as a plug-in unit for Pow-R-Way III busway configurations. Ensure proper alignment with the busway channels, verify three-pole connections, and secure the plug-in unit to the supporting frame. Confirm clearance for the 70A rating and maintain recommended torque for terminal connections. Follow manufacturer guidelines for wiring access and lockout/tagout procedures to minimize downtime during retrofits.
This unit provides a 70A current rating with interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 240/480 VAC and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC. These ratings indicate the device can safely interrupt high-energy faults on typical industrial feeders and motor circuits, reducing the risk of damage to downstream equipment and improving overall system safety during fault events.
The plug-in design and busway compatibility make the P3BHFD3070GN suitable for both new installations and retrofits. Its modular Pow-R-Way III approach simplifies upgrades to larger protection schemes and supports scalable power distribution, reducing project timelines and enabling phased capacity increases without major rewiring.
The unit carries UL 857, ANSI and CSA certifications and is NEMA compliant. These certifications support regulatory compliance, safety performance, and interoperability with typical industrial control gear, helping to pass audits and maintain consistent safety standards across facilities.
Plug-in modules allow rapid replacement and straightforward maintenance, minimizing plant downtime during service or upgrades. The standardized Pow-R-Way III family also supports spare-part availability and faster technician turnaround, contributing to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime over the equipment’s lifecycle.
