B-LINE P3BHFD3070G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and breaker frame does the B-Line P3BHFD3070G plug-in bus plug carry?
The P3BHFD3070G is a 70 amp plug-in unit built on an F frame breaker, which covers the 15 to 225 A range. So if your feeder tap is sized at 70 A, this is the matching bus plug; for loads above that you need a different amp rating within the same F frame family.
2) Will this Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit hold up on a 480V system with high available fault current?
Interrupting rating on the P3BHFD3070G is 100 kAIC at 240 Vac, 100 kAIC at 480 Vac, and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. On a 480 V distribution run with a high available short circuit current, the 100 kAIC figure is what your engineer is checking against. Note the drop to 25 kAIC at 600 Vac, so on a 600 V system verify your calculated fault current stays under that.
3) Does the P3BHFD3070G bus plug include a ground path, or do I have to run a separate equipment ground?
Grounding on this unit is 50% internal, meaning the ground path is built into the plug-in unit itself at half capacity rather than relying entirely on an external conductor. Confirm that matches the grounding scheme specified for the Pow-R-Way III busway run it is landing on, since bus plugs and busway have to be ordered to the same grounding configuration.
4) How big and how heavy is the P3BHFD3070G, and can one person hang it?
It 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 on a busway run. Plan on a lift or a second person when you are landing it on a bus duct at ceiling height, and check clearance around the plug-in opening for the 21.2 in dimension before you schedule the install.
5) What exactly is a Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit, and when would I use one instead of a panelboard?
A plug-in unit is a breaker in an enclosure that clamps directly onto an Eaton Pow-R-Way III busway to tap power at a point along the run. You use it where loads change or move, like machine feeds on a plant floor or tenant taps in a distribution run, because you can relocate or add a tap without pulling new feeder conduit. A panelboard is the better choice when the circuits are fixed and branch counts are high. The P3BHFD3070G specifically gives you one 70 A F frame tap.
