B-LINE P3BFDC3015GN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and breaker frame does the B-Line P3BFDC3015GN plug-in unit come with?
The P3BFDC3015GN is a 15 amp plug-in unit built on an F frame breaker, a frame that covers 15 through 225 amps. So if you later need a higher trip rating on the same busway run, you stay within the same frame family and just order a different F frame plug-in unit.
2) Will this plug-in unit hold up on a 480V service with high available fault current?
Its interrupting rating is 200 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 35 kAIC at 600 Vac. On a 480 volt system you have 100 kA of interrupting capacity, which covers most service entrance and main switchboard locations. Compare the number against the available fault current the engineer calculated for that point on the busway.
3) Does the P3BFDC3015GN include a neutral and a ground, or do I have to order those separately?
Both are part of the unit. It is configured with a 100% rated neutral and 50% internal grounding, which is what the GN in the catalog number indicates. That makes it suitable for a feeder that carries a full neutral load, such as one serving single phase lighting or receptacle panels off a three phase busway.
4) Can I plug this unit onto any brand of busway, or only Eaton?
This is an Eaton Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit, and plug-in units are matched to the busway system they clamp onto. Use it on Pow-R-Way III busway. Plug-in units from other busway lines do not interchange, because the housing, stab arrangement and hanging hardware are specific to the bus design.
5) How big and heavy is the Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit? I need to know if one electrician can hang it.
It measures 21.2 inches high by 12.36 inches long by 5.43 inches wide and weighs 25 pounds. At that weight it is a one man lift in most positions, but on an overhead busway run at height plan for a second set of hands or a lift to get it onto the busway and engaged squarely.
6) Is the P3BFDC3015GN rated for a 600 volt busway run?
Yes, it carries a rating at 600 Vac, but the interrupting capacity drops to 35 kAIC there versus 100 kAIC at 480 Vac and 200 kAIC at 240 Vac. On a 600 volt system confirm the available fault current at the tap point is under 35 kA before using this unit.
7) What exact part number should I put on the purchase order for this 15A Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit?
Order it as B-Line P3BFDC3015GN. That single catalog number carries the 15 amp F frame breaker, the 100% neutral and the 50% internal ground, so no separate accessory numbers are needed to get that configuration.
8) Is 15 amps too small a plug-in unit for a branch panel tap off my busway?
A 15 amp unit is sized for a small single load or a light branch tap, not for feeding a distribution panel of any size. Since it sits on the F frame, which spans 15 to 225 amps, you can move up to a larger F frame plug-in unit of the same family if the connected load needs more than 15 amps.
