FAQs
To install the P3BHFD3175G, verify busway compatibility, ensure proper clearance around the plug-in unit, and mount in an accessible enclosure. Connect conductors per the Eaton installation guide, secure with prescribed torque values, and confirm grounding continuity. The plug-in design simplifies field wiring and reduces commissioning time, but always adhere to NEC/CSA and site-specific safety procedures.
The unit is a three-pole, 175 A circuit breaker with 100 kAIC interrupt ratings at 240 Vac and 480 Vac, and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. It supports busway applications with a 50% internal grounding configuration. These ratings enable protection for mid-range busway feeders while meeting common industrial standards for fault energy and interrupt capability.
Yes. With 100 kAIC at 240 Vac, this P3B model is well-suited for 240 Vac busway networks typical in manufacturing facilities. Its three-pole F-frame design provides consistent protection across legs, and the plug-in format supports straightforward integration with existing busway infrastructure while maintaining compliance with applicable safety standards.
The unit is CSA Certified, UL 857 listed, and IEEE Certified, with ANSI and NEMA compliance noted as well. These certifications indicate broad regulatory acceptance, interoperability with other components, and safer operation in critical electrical rooms. For procurement, they help ensure alignment with project specs, reduce validation time, and improve risk management.
Eaton provides a warranty policy (25-000) offering one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This supports post-installation confidence and reduces lifecycle risk. For maintenance, customers benefit from Eaton’s technical support and access to the specification sheet and product resources to aid long-term reliability.
