FAQs
Install the P3BLD3500N as a plug-in breaker within a compatible Pow-R-Way III busway enclosure. Verify the system is rated for 600 V, connect three poles and four wires per the enclosure labeling, and select the 50% integral or housing grounding option according to your grounding plan. Ensure the 100% neutral configuration is set before energizing and verify proper torque on all terminations to prevent overheating.
The P3BLD3500N is rated at 500 A with interrupt ratings of 65 kAIC at 240 VAC, 35 kAIC at 480 VAC, and 25 kAIC at 600 VAC. It is designed for 600 V systems and uses a 3-pole, 4-wire configuration with 100% neutral. These specifications ensure reliable fault interruption across standard industrial load profiles and voltage classes.
