Eaton P3BHFD3175GN Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker - UL 857
Part Number: P3BHFD3175GN
Quick Summary
Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit from Eaton protects busway systems in industrial power distribution. Engineers frequently struggle with tight spaces, wiring complexity, and the need for fast, compliant installations. It carries CSA Certified, ANSI/IEEE Certified, and UL 857 approvals, supporting safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance across North American facilities. Designed for three-pole, F-frame protection, it scales from 15 to 225 A in a single plug-in unit while delivering a robust 100% neutral and 50% internal grounding. That combination reduces installation time, minimizes field wiring, and lowers total cost of ownership for power management and distribution networks.

Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
The plug-in unit is engineered for seamless busway integration, delivering straightforward installation and reduced wiring errors, which translates to faster commissioning and lower field labor costs. This translates to tangible business impact in high-volume manufacturing environments where uptime and reliability are critical. The 175A amperage rating paired with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating at both 240 VAC and 480 VAC ensures robust fault current protection for critical lines, minimizing equipment damage and unplanned downtime in industrial facilities. With 100% neutral options and 50% internal grounding, power quality and fault handling improve, supporting sensitive drives and control systems in demanding applications. Compliance with NEMA, UL 857, CSA, and ANSI/IEEE standards provides regulatory peace of mind, easing procurement audits and cross-site rollouts. The three-pole, F-frame design supports modularity and scalable protection for evolving busway networks, while a 25 kAIC rating at 600 VAC covers higher-voltage segments as needed. Coupled with a compact footprint and 25 lb-class weight, technicians can install and replace units with minimal downtime, reducing maintenance windows and extending service life of the overall power distribution scheme.
