FAQs
For proper installation, mount the plug-in unit using the vertical hanger designed for Pow-R-Way III assemblies and ensure alignment with the busway run. Verify 50% internal grounding and 100% neutral connections, then secure all terminal lugs per Eaton installation guidelines. This approach minimizes wiring errors and speeds commissioning in modular busway systems.
The unit provides 100 kAIC interrupt rating at 220–240 VAC, 70 kAIC at 380–415 VAC, and 14 kAIC at 660–690 VAC. It features 100% neutral with 50% internal grounding, simplifying wiring and enhancing fault isolation across diverse industrial power networks.
Yes. The P3BHFWF3050VGN is a three-pole breaker designed for busway protection in 208/230V type systems, offering a 50 A amperage rating and high interrupt ratings suitable for commercial and industrial power distribution.
It carries UL 857, IEEE Certified, ANSI, and CSA Certified markings, along with NEMA compliance. These certifications validate safety, performance, and adherence to industry standards, reducing regulatory risk and accelerating project approvals in North American facilities.
The unit’s plug-in design and vertical hanger simplify installations and replacements, reducing downtime. High interrupt ratings protect critical loads, while 100% neutral and grounded options support safer fault handling. Together, these factors contribute to improved uptime, easier maintenance planning, and a favorable total cost of ownership in busway-based power distribution.
