70A amperage rating with up to 100 kAIC interrupt ratings at 240/480 Vac (25 kAIC at 600 Vac) protects critical loads with minimal nuisance tripping, reducing equipment damage and improving overall system reliability. This translates to fewer unplanned outages and smoother production lines in demanding manufacturing environments. The three-pole plug-in configuration uses the Pow-R-Way III F-frame, enabling quick field swaps without extensive rewiring, dramatically cutting commissioning time and lowering maintenance costs. Neutral options of 100% and grounding flexibility of 50% integral or housing grounding simplify adherence to diverse grounding schemes, minimizing wiring errors and enhancing protection accuracy across different facilities and codes. The plug-in unit meets robust certifications (UL 857, ANSI, IEEE, CSA), supporting regulatory compliance and faster approval in regulated sectors such as data centers and process plants. Ready compatibility with existing busway architectures improves retrofit scalability and reduces capital expenditure by enabling modular protection upgrades rather than full panel replacements. Industry insight shows that standardizing protection on modular busway components reduces spare-part inventories and accelerates root-cause analysis during fault events, delivering measurable TCO improvements.

FAQs
The P3BHFD3070N is designed as a plug-in unit for Pow-R-Way III busway configurations, allowing modular installation without extensive rewiring. Verify busway slot compatibility, confirm three-pole arrangement, and ensure grounding scheme matches site requirements (100% neutral, 50% integral or housing grounding). Use the catalog number P3BHFD3070N for replacement parts and spare management. Follow UL 857 and ANSI guidelines during mounting and connection to maintain compliance and reliability.
The unit provides a 70A rating with an interrupt capability of 100 kAIC at 240/480 Vac and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac, offering strong short-circuit protection for typical industrial busway feeders. This translates to reduced fault energy exposure for downstream equipment and improved uptime. Understanding these ratings helps select the correct protection level for each circuit and sensor your system controls.
Yes. The P3BHFD3070N is a three-pole, F-frame plug-in unit designed for Pow-R-Way III busway systems, handling multi-pole protection with built-in neutral and grounding options. Its 70A rating and high interrupt ratings support reliable protection in medium-length busway runs typically found in manufacturing floors and data centers. Always confirm busway voltage, fault current, and coordination with upstream protective devices.
The unit is UL 857, ANSI, IEEE certified, and CSA listed, signaling compliance with widely adopted electrical safety and performance standards. These certifications are critical for regulatory approvals, industry audits, and safe integration into North American facilities. They also support reliability expectations in critical environments such as process plants and data centers.
By enabling plug-in replacement, modular maintenance, and standardized protection points, the P3BHFD3070N reduces field labor and downtime during servicing. Its compatibility with existing Pow-R-Way III busways simplifies retrofits, lowers spare-part inventories, and shortens commissioning cycles. The robust ratings and grounding options help minimize damage from faults and reduce long-term energy losses, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.
