B-LINE P3BHJD3100N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and breaker frame does the B-Line P3BHJD3100N plug-in unit use?
The P3BHJD3100N is a 100A plug-in unit built around a J Frame breaker, and the J Frame covers 70 through 225 A. So if your feeder schedule calls for a 100 amp tap off a Pow-R-Way III busway run, this is the matching unit. Changing the trip rating later means a different catalog number, not a field swap of the plug-in.
2) What is the short circuit interrupting rating on the Eaton Pow-R-Way III 100A plug-in unit?
It is rated 100 kAIC at 240 Vac, 65 kAIC at 480 Vac and 25 kAIC at 600 Vac. Check the available fault current at the tap point against the voltage you are actually running. On a 480 Vac system you have 65 kA of headroom; at 600 Vac it drops to 25 kA, which is the number that most often decides whether this unit is acceptable on a high fault duty service.
3) Does this Pow-R-Way III plug-in unit have a full neutral, and how is it grounded?
Neutral is 100 percent rated, so it will carry full load neutral current, which matters on lighting and receptacle panels with heavy nonlinear loads. Grounding is 50 percent integral housing ground, meaning the busway enclosure itself serves as the ground path at 50 percent capacity rather than a separate full size ground bar. If your spec demands a 100 percent isolated ground conductor, this configuration does not meet it.
4) Can I use this 100A plug-in unit on a 600 volt busway system?
Yes, it carries a rating at 600 Vac, but only 25 kAIC there. Facilities running 480 Vac get 65 kAIC and 240 Vac systems get 100 kAIC. Run your fault current study for the actual tap location before committing on a 600 volt system, because 25 kA is the tightest limit on the unit.
5) How much does the B-Line P3BHJD3100N weigh and will one person be able to hang it?
At 47 lb it is a two-person lift on a ladder or lift platform. Measuring 23.26 x 12.36 x 6.97 inches, it is bulky as well as heavy, so plan on a mechanical lift or a second set of hands when stabbing it onto an overhead busway run.
6) Is the B-Line P3BHJD3100N the same thing as an Eaton Pow-R-Way III bus plug?
Yes. B-Line is the brand under which this Eaton Pow-R-Way III circuit breaker plug-in unit is catalogued, and the part number to order by is P3BHJD3100N. Distributors cross-referencing an Eaton Pow-R-Way III bus plug specification should match on that MPN.
