FAQs
Installers should verify frame compatibility (F), ensure the 12.36 in depth, 21.2 in height, and 5.43 in width enclosure fits the panel, and plan for 50% internal grounding. The plug-in design simplifies mounting into Pow-R-Way III busways, supports proper alignment, and requires standard UL 857 wiring practices with NEMA compliance.
The P3BHFD3080G is rated for 80A with a high interrupt rating of 100 kAIC at 240 and 480 Vac, and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. This capability protects feeders from short circuits, supports safe operation in heavy-duty environments, and aligns with IEEE, CSA, ANSI, and UL 857 standards for industrial power systems.
It can be used in data centers where busway distribution and modular breakers are needed, thanks to its compact footprint, NEMA compliance, and robust ratings. For high-density racks, verify UPS coordination and consider multiple units or alternate configurations to meet load and redundancy requirements.
The unit is IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, ANSI approved, UL 857 listed, and NEMA compliant. These certifications indicate adherence to global safety and performance standards, simplifying procurement with standard documentation and reducing project risk in regulated industrial environments. This certification set matters for equipment qualification, warranty acceptance, and cross-border sourcing.
With a plug-in design and solid fault ratings, maintenance focuses on contact inspection and enclosure cleanliness. The unit’s robust frame and 50% internal grounding help minimize downtime, while the 25 lb weight and standard dimensions ease replacement during routine maintenance, reducing total cost of ownership over its service life.
