Part Number: P3BHKD3100N
Quick Summary
The Eaton P3BHKD3100N is a rugged power control device for reliable industrial power distribution. Engineers face downtime and unpredictable protection schemes, and this model helps reduce those risks through robust protection and straightforward integration. In typical installations, CE conformity, IP-rated enclosures, and SIL-ready configurations are important for safety-critical and regulated environments. By aligning with Eaton's power management ecosystem, the P3BHKD3100N supports faster approvals, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle. This combination of rugged performance and software-friendly diagnostics delivers measurable business value for plant operations and automation projects. Its modular design also facilitates future capacity upgrades without replacing the entire protective scheme.
Product Information
Rugged enclosure and compact footprint minimize panel footprint and simplify wiring, letting technicians complete installations faster without relocating equipment. This translates to faster installation, reduced labor costs, and lower enclosure space requirements on crowded factory lines. In manufacturing environments where space is at a premium, this configuration enables more efficient power protection deployments across multiple control panels and motor control centers. Seamless compatibility with Eaton's power management ecosystem accelerates integration with existing protective devices, monitoring tools, and control networks. This reduces engineering time for wiring diagrams, permits faster approvals, and enhances change-management traceability. For both greenfield projects and plant-wide retrofits, the P3BHKD3100N provides a familiar interface that technicians already trust, minimizing risk during handover to operations. Protection capabilities and safety compliance are core strengths of this model. By delivering robust short-circuit and overcurrent protection aligned with typical industrial standards, it helps minimize fault propagation and protect downstream equipment. The device supports safe isolation and clear fault indication, aiding maintenance crews to identify issues quickly. This translates to reduced unplanned downtime and smoother audits for machinery safety and compliance. Installation and maintenance reach a new level thanks to straightforward wiring schemes, clearly labeled terminals, and standard mounting patterns compatible with common Eaton panels. Predictive maintenance is supported by ready access to diagnostic data and status indicators, enabling remote monitoring and proactive service planning. In practice, technicians report faster changeovers, fewer wiring errors, and lower spare-part inventory needs. From a compliance and total-cost-of-ownership perspective, the P3BHKD3100N aligns with common industrial requirements such as CE conformity and protective enclosures, while its modularity supports scalable power protection. Over the asset lifecycle, reduced downtime, lower maintenance labor, and easier upgrades deliver measurable business value for automation projects, contract manufacturers, and process industries seeking reliable power management with predictable budgets.

FAQs
Installation in an existing panel begins with verifying mounting compatibility and spacing, followed by secure attachment to the DIN rail or chassis per the Eaton installation guide. Route incoming and outgoing conductors with proper strain relief, connect to control wiring using the documented terminal assignments, and perform initial checks with power removed to ensure safe startup.
Key performance considerations for the P3BHKD3100N include its role in providing protection within Power Management & Distribution, with emphasis on short-circuit and overcurrent protection, reliable isolation, and clear fault signaling. For precise ratings, consult the datasheet and Eaton's protective device specifications to ensure compatibility with your system's voltage, current, and coordination requirements.
Process automation environments benefit from robust protection and uptime. The P3BHKD3100N is designed to integrate with control networks and machine controllers, supporting consistent protection across automation lines. When evaluating suitability, assess enclosure IP rating, environmental conditions, and wiring interoperability with your PLCs and HMI systems to ensure reliable operation.
Typical industrial certifications for devices like the P3BHKD3100N include CE conformity for Europe and relevant IP ratings for enclosure protection against dust and moisture. Depending on the application, SIL-ready configurations may be offered for safety-critical processes. Always verify exact certifications in the product datasheet or with Eaton’s regional technical support.
ROI and maintenance benefits arise from reduced unplanned downtime and consolidated protective devices. The P3BHKD3100N supports easier diagnostics and faster repairs, which lowers maintenance labor and spare-parts costs. In high-availability facilities, these improvements translate to more predictable maintenance windows, better asset utilization, and a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
