Three-pole, F-frame plug-in design provides sturdy, compatible mounting for Pow-R-Way III busway sections. This yields faster installation and minimizes commissioning risk, translating to reduced on-site labor and fewer field engineering changes. It directly supports three-pole protection in modular busway runs, common in industrial feeders and OEM configurations. The 100 A rating with 100 kAIC at 240/480 VAC and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC delivers robust fault protection, enhancing equipment safety and reducing arc-flash exposure during faults. This improves reliability for automation lines and mixed-voltage environments, including manufacturing floors and data centers. Grounding options offer 50% integral or housing grounding, simplifying procurement and improving safety by delivering consistent grounding performance across assemblies. Certifications and compliance—UL 857, CSA, IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA—ensure regulatory alignment, easing audits and supplier qualification. The compact footprint (12.36 in L × 21.2 in H × 5.43 in W) and 25 lb weight support easier handling, installation in constrained spaces, and retrofit projects within busy facilities.

FAQs
The P3BHFD3100 installs as a plug-in module into compatible Pow-R-Way III busway sections. Ensure correct three-pole orientation, connect the plug-in unit to the busway inlet, and verify proper grounding using the 50% integral/housing grounding option. Refer to the Eaton specification sheet for torque values and wiring diagrams to minimize commissioning time and avoid field rework.
The unit is a 100 A, three-pole breaker with interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 240 VAC and 480 VAC, and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC. This combination provides substantial fault energy protection for mid-range busway feeders, reduces arc energy exposure, and supports safe operation in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The three-pole, F-frame plug-in design is optimized for Pow-R-Way III busway configurations, enabling modular, scalable protection for industrial feeders. It fits typical plant layouts, supports rapid deployment, and aligns with common manufacturing line architectures, improving uptime and protecting critical loads.
The P3BHFD3100 carries UL 857, CSA, IEEE, ANSI certifications, and is NEMA compliant. These approvals help meet electrical safety and performance standards, streamline procurement, and support regulatory audits across regulated industries such as manufacturing, data centers, and process environments.
Warranty terms follow Eaton’s policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. The unit’s solid fault protection, quick-install design, and compatibility with Pow-R-Way III reduce downtime, maintenance costs, and total cost of ownership over the lifecycle of busway-powered systems.
