B-LINE P3BFDC3015G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and breaker frame does the B-Line P3BFDC3015G Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit use?
The P3BFDC3015G is a 15 amp plug-in unit built on an F Frame breaker, the frame family that covers 15 through 225 amps. If your feeder schedule calls for a larger tap off the same busway run, you stay in the same F Frame family and step the amperage up rather than changing plug-in unit style.
2) What is the interrupting rating on this Eaton Pow-R-Way III 15A plug-in unit, and will it hold up on a 480V service?
Interrupting capacity is 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac. On a 480 volt system the usable number is 100 kAIC, so compare that against the available fault current your engineer calculated at the busway tap point. It covers 600 volt applications as well, at 35 kAIC.
3) Does the P3BFDC3015G plug-in unit come with a ground path, or do I need a separate ground bus?
Grounding is 50% internal on this unit. That means the ground path is carried inside the plug-in unit itself at 50 percent capacity, so it has to match the grounding configuration of the Pow-R-Way III busway run it plugs into. Busway and plug-in units must share the same grounding scheme.
4) Can I use this plug-in unit on any manufacturer's bus duct?
No. This is an Eaton Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit and it is built for the Pow-R-Way III busway system. Plug-in unit stabs and housings are specific to the busway line they were designed for, so it will not land on another maker's duct or on a different Eaton busway family. Confirm the nameplate on your existing run says Pow-R-Way III before ordering.
5) How big and how heavy is the Eaton Pow-R-Way III F Frame plug-in unit, for planning a busway drop?
It measures 21.2 x 12.36 x 5.43 inches and weighs 25 pounds. Plan on working clearance around the busway tap opening for a unit of that size, and a second set of hands for the lift if the run is overhead. The weight also matters if you are staging several units on a lift before hanging them.
6) What exact part number should I put on the purchase order for a 15 amp Pow-R-Way III breaker plug-in unit?
Order it as P3BFDC3015G. That single catalog number covers the 15 amp F Frame plug-in unit with 50 percent internal grounding, so there are no separate suffixes to specify for amperage or ground.
7) Is a busway plug-in unit the right choice, or should I be running conduit to a panelboard?
A plug-in unit like the P3BFDC3015G taps power directly off an existing Pow-R-Way III busway run and gives you a 15 amp breaker-protected drop at that point. It is the right answer when the busway is already in place overhead and you need a branch at a specific location, typically in industrial or data center space where loads move. If there is no busway in the building, a plug-in unit is useless to you and the job is a panelboard and conduit run instead.
