With a 225 A amperage rating and an interrupt capacity of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, the P3BKDC3225G delivers fast fault clearance and protects critical busway circuits. This translates to reduced arc energy exposure, shorter unplanned downtime, and lower repair costs across the distribution network. It’s ideally used for three-pole busway configurations within Pow-R-Way III installations, where reliable breaker protection is essential for process uptime. Designed as a three-pole, K-frame plug-in unit, it accommodates wide busway protection ranges (70–400 A) and fits compact space envelopes with dimensions 13.29 in L, 34.41 in H, and 7.79 in W. The durable cabinet and plug-in interface accelerate swap-outs during maintenance windows, reducing installation time by simplifying alignment with the Pow-R-Way III system and common busway assemblies. 50% internal grounding provides flexible fault paths while meeting common safety standards, enabling straightforward integration with existing grounding schemes. This feature supports safer commissioning and test procedures, particularly in multi-zone industrial plants where grounding strategies vary across equipment bays. CSA, IEEE, ANSI, and UL 857 listings, plus NEMA compliance, give buyers confidence in performance and regulatory adherence. This broad certification footprint simplifies procurement for regulated facilities and reduces qualification cycles for new build projects or modernization initiatives in manufacturing and logistics environments. Eaton backs the P3BKDC3225G with a one-year warranty from installation, or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, signaling confidence in long-term reliability. The plug-in design, robust interrupt performance, and documented compatibility with Pow-R-Way III busways translate to lower total cost of ownership, easier spare-part planning, and improved uptime during facility expansions or retrofits.
