FAQs
P3BKDC3400 is designed as a three-pole plug-in unit with a K-frame, intended for Pow-R-Way III busway configurations. Compatibility should be confirmed by matching the system’s busway profile, pole count, and grounding arrangement (50% integral/housing). When in doubt, consult Eaton installation guides and verify channel availability, mounting clearances, and interlock requirements to ensure seamless integration with your existing modules.
The unit provides a 400A amperage rating, three-pole configuration, and interrupt ratings of 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac. This combination supports high fault current protection across variable voltages and line configurations, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications and flexible protection schemes.
Yes. The P3BKDC3400 supports 600V operation with a 50 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling safe fault interruption for higher-voltage busway systems. Its three-pole K-frame design and plug-in form factor are well-suited to modular distributions found in manufacturing lines and automated facilities, where both high protection standards and easy maintenance are required.
P3BKDC3400 carries ANSI, CSA, UL 857, and IEEE certifications, with NEMA compliance. These certifications mean the device meets widely recognized safety, performance, and interoperability standards, reducing regulatory risk, easing audits, and supporting safe operation in North American plants and upgrade projects.
Eaton offers a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first, under policy 25-000. For ongoing reliability, ensure routine inspections, confirm grounding integrity, and schedule periodic protection checks to maximize uptime and ROI on busway protection upgrades.
