FAQs
P3BHFD3100SP is designed for seamless integration within Pow-R-Way III busway layouts. It features a sprinkler-proof plug-in design, 50% integral/housing grounding, and an F-frame three-pole enclosure. When installing, verify busway compatibility, ensure proper mounting clearances, and use the provided mounting hardware. This minimizes commissioning time and supports reliable, modular protection over the system lifecycle.
The unit provides a 100A amperage rating with a three-pole configuration. It offers interrupt ratings of 100 kAIC at 240 VAC and 480 VAC, and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC. It is suitable for busway distribution in facilities requiring high fault-current resilience, with compliance to NEMA, UL 857, and ANSI standards for safety and performance.
Yes. The sprinkler-proof plug-in design is specifically intended for environments where sprinklers are present. Benefits include enhanced enclosure integrity during fires or sprinkler discharge events, reduced risk of arc faults spreading, and safer maintenance under such conditions. This makes it a strong choice for commercial, institutional, and industrial spaces with stringent protection requirements.
The P3BHFD3100SP carries CSA Certified, UL 857, IEEE Certified, and ANSI certifications, along with NEMA compliance. These standards confirm reliability, electrical safety, and performance under regulatory scrutiny. They simplify procurement for regulated projects and support passing audits and commissioning for critical power distribution applications.
With a one-year warranty from installation or an 18-month window from shipment, maintenance planning is straightforward. The unit’s modular plug-in design reduces downtime during replacements, and its high interrupt ratings minimize downstream outages. Combined with reliable busway protection, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
