B-LINE P3BFDC3175G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a B-Line P3BFDC3175G plug-in unit fit Pow-R-Way III busway, or does it work on other busway runs?
It's built for B-Line Pow-R-Way III busway and plugs into that housing's takeoff openings. Busway plug-in units are keyed to the bus system they were designed for, so it should not be planted on another manufacturer's run or on an earlier Pow-R-Way generation. The unit is 3-pole, 175A, with a 50% internal ground, so the busway run it lands on needs to carry the matching ground scheme.
2) What is the short circuit interrupting rating of the 175A FDC plug-in breaker unit?
Rated 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac. That's the number to check against the available fault current at the tap point, and it is voltage dependent, so a 480 Vac distribution system is working from the 100 kAIC figure, not the 200 kAIC headline.
3) Is the B-Line P3BFDC3175G suitable for a 600 volt three phase distribution system?
Its interrupting rating is published up to 600 Vac, at 35 kAIC. Three-pole construction suits a three-phase, three-wire or three-phase plus ground feed. At 600 Vac you have the least fault-current margin of the three published points, so verify the available fault current at that tap is under 35 kA.
4) What does the FDC frame designation mean on this 175 amp busway plug-in unit?
FDC is the breaker frame inside the plug-in enclosure, and the frame is catalogued as F frame. The trip rating within that frame here is 175A, 3-pole. Frame matters when you're standardizing spares: an F frame breaker of a different amp rating shares the frame envelope, but the unit is ordered as a complete plug-in assembly, not as a loose breaker.
5) How much does a Pow-R-Way III 175A plug-in breaker unit weigh, and can one electrician hang it?
25 lb, measuring 21.2 by 12.36 by 5.43 inches. That's a two-hand lift at height on a ladder or lift, and most crews stage it with a second person or a hoist when it's going onto an overhead bus run. Plan clearance around the takeoff opening for the 21.2 inch dimension before you pick the mounting location.
6) What exact part number do I order for a 3-pole 175 amp FDC plug-in unit on Pow-R-Way III busway?
Order B-Line P3BFDC3175G. That single catalog number covers the complete plug-in assembly: Pow-R-Way III busway mounting, 3-pole, 175A, FDC frame breaker, 50% internal ground. There are no separate finish or configuration options to specify on it.
