B-LINE P3BEHD3100GN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amp rating and breaker frame does the B-Line P3BEHD3100GN plug-in unit use?
The P3BEHD3100GN is a 100 amp plug-in unit built on Eaton's E Frame, which covers 15 through 225 amps. So if your feeder tap is sized at 100 A and the drawing calls for an E Frame breaker, this is the match. A different amp rating within that same frame range would be a different catalog number.
2) Is the P3BEHD3100GN plug-in unit rated high enough for a 480 volt busway run?
Its interrupting rating is 18 kAIC at 240 Vac and 14 kAIC at 480 Vac. It can be applied at 480 V, but only where the available fault current at that point on the busway is at or below 14 kA. If your short circuit study shows more than that, you need a higher interrupting rating plug-in unit.
3) Will this plug-in unit fit an Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway, or any brand of busway?
It is built specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway. Plug-in units are keyed to the busway family and voltage class they were designed for, so it won't land on another manufacturer's bus or on a different Eaton busway line. Confirm the run you are tapping is Pow-R-Way III before ordering.
4) Does the P3BEHD3100GN include a neutral, and what ground does it provide?
It comes with a 100 percent rated neutral and a 50 percent internal ground. That combination suits a 3-phase 4-wire circuit where you are feeding panelboards or receptacle loads that carry neutral current, rather than a straight 3-wire motor tap.
5) How big and heavy is this 100 amp busway plug-in unit, and can one person hang it?
The unit measures 21.2 in height, 12.36 in length and 5.43 in width, and weighs 25 lb. That is a two-hand lift overhead at busway height, so plan on a second person or a lift for hanging it on an elevated run, and check you have the clearance envelope along the bus before you commit to the tap location.
6) What is the difference between a busway plug-in circuit breaker unit and a fusible switch tap?
A circuit breaker plug-in unit like the P3BEHD3100GN gives you a resettable 100 amp overcurrent device at the tap, so after a trip you clear the fault and reset instead of stocking and replacing fuses. A fusible plug-in switch relies on replaceable fuses. For MRO and facility work where downtime matters and spare fuse inventory is a nuisance, the breaker unit is usually the choice; fusible taps are specified where the drawing calls for fuse letting-through characteristics.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton Pow-R-Way III 100 amp plug-in unit?
Order it as B-Line P3BEHD3100GN. The suffix matters: the GN designates the 50 percent internal ground and 100 percent neutral configuration, and the 3100 the 3-pole 100 amp E Frame breaker. Substituting a similar number without those letters gets you a unit without the neutral you need.
