Eaton P3BKDC3100 Circuit Breaker Plug-in Unit - IEEE/UL 857
Part Number: P3BKDC3100
Quick Summary
The Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit delivers reliable protection for Pow-R-Way III busway systems in industrial power distribution. Upgrading protection can be hampered by tight spaces, downtime, and compatibility gaps with existing busway frames. This device carries IEEE Certified, CSA Certified, and UL 857 listings, confirming safety, interoperability, and regulatory alignment. With a 100 A, 3-pole configuration and a K-frame, its plug-in design streamlines installation, while 200 kAIC ratings at relevant voltages support critical loads. Adopting this unit reduces spare parts, minimizes commissioning time, and improves overall reliability for manufacturing, distribution, and data-center environments.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit’s 3-pole, 100 A configuration with a K-frame standardizes protection across Pow-R-Way III busway segments, delivering consistent performance and faster fault isolation, which translates to reduced downtime in critical production lines. Application: ideal for modular power distribution in manufacturing floors where space is at a premium and rapid replacement is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 200 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 VAC (with lower ratings at higher voltages) provides robust short-circuit protection for high-demand loads, decreasing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned outages. Application: suitable for data centers and process facilities that demand reliable protection without sacrificing uptime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 50% integral/housing grounding option simplifies installation and improves EMI performance, reducing grounding run time and wiring complexity. Application: beneficial in facilities with mixed conductor types and retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA compliance and multi-certification support (IEEE, CSA, ANSI, UL 857) ensure regulatory alignment and smoother procurement. Application: helps procurement teams meet compliance requirements while standardizing parts across sites. Feature → Business Impact → Application: plug-in unit design minimizes maintenance costs by allowing fast replacement and reduced spare part inventory. Application: ideal for periodic maintenance cycles and facilities prioritizing total cost of ownership.
