100A amperage rating aligns protection with typical busway feeders, reducing nuisance trips while safeguarding equipment. This translates to fewer production interruptions and improved uptime for assembly lines and data centers, especially where power swings and peak loads challenge upstream protection. The unit delivers 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 35 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC, providing high fault-current protection across a range of industrial environments and improving safety margins for critical processes. Three-pole KD plug-in design in a K-frame delivers simple integration with Pow-R-Way III systems, facilitating rapid installation and reducing field wiring complexity. Grounding options specify 50% internal grounding, offering design flexibility to match diverse facility grounding schemes. Compliance is supported by NEMA, UL 857, ANSI, CSA, and IEEE certifications, ensuring regulatory alignment and smoother approvals. At 53 lb with dimensions of 13.29 in depth, 34.41 in height, and 7.79 in width, the unit fits typical busway applications while enabling straightforward space planning and service access. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides reassurance during initial operation, while the Eaton Selling Policy 25-000 framework addresses service and support expectations. Overall, the P3BKD3100G is an efficient, reliable plug-in solution for busway protection in manufacturing, data centers, and process industries.
