B-LINE P3BEDH3100N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and interrupting rating does the B-Line P3BEDH3100N plug-in unit carry?
The P3BEDH3100N is a 100 amp plug-in unit with a 100 kAIC interrupting rating at 240 Vac. That high interrupting figure is what matters on a busway run close to a large service transformer, where available fault current can be well above a standard 65 kAIC device.
2) Does this Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit include a full neutral?
Yes, the P3BEDH3100N is a 100 percent neutral unit, so it can carry full load on the neutral conductor. Grounding is 50 percent integral through the housing. The N at the end of the catalog number is the neutral designation.
3) Will a B-Line P3BEDH3100N plug-in unit fit any busway, or only Eaton Pow-R-Way III?
Only Pow-R-Way III. This is an Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit, and busway plug-in stabs are specific to the manufacturer and busway series. It will not land on another maker's run, and it will not land on an earlier Pow-R-Way generation.
4) Which breaker frame is in the Pow-R-Way III P3BEDH3100N plug-in unit?
It uses an E Frame breaker, the frame that covers 15 through 225 amps, set at 100 amps in this unit. If your drawing calls out a different frame family for the tap, this is not the unit to order.
5) Is a 50 percent housing ground enough, or do I need an isolated ground bus on the busway?
This 100 amp plug-in unit grounds at 50 percent through the housing, which is the common arrangement for a bolted busway tap where the enclosure and busway housing form the equipment grounding path. If your specification calls for an internal full-capacity or isolated ground conductor, this unit will not satisfy it.
6) How big and heavy is the P3BEDH3100N plug-in unit for planning the hoist and clearance?
The unit measures 21.2 x 12.36 x 5.43 inches and weighs 25 pounds. Plan on a second set of hands or a lift for overhead busway work, and confirm you have that much clear depth off the busway face plus room to swing the operating handle.
7) I need a busway tap for a 100 amp panel feed. Is this the right unit or do I need a fusible switch plug-in?
For a 100 amp panelboard feed off Pow-R-Way III busway, this breaker plug-in does the job: 100 amps, E frame, 100 percent neutral, and it resets after a trip instead of needing fuses replaced. Go to a fusible switch plug-in only where the spec demands fuses or you need an interrupting rating beyond what this breaker offers.
8) What is the exact part number to quote for this Eaton Pow-R-Way III 100A breaker plug-in?
Quote P3BEDH3100N. That single catalog number covers the whole configuration: Pow-R-Way III plug-in, E frame breaker, 100 amps, 100 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 percent neutral with 50 percent housing ground. There are no separate options to specify on it.
