Pow-R-Line 3E PanelboardA next-generation panelboardEaton’s Pow-R-Line 3E panelboard is the next generationin the evolution of panelboards. Designed with the inputof professional electrical engineering consultants as wellas electricians, this panelboard meets the demandingrequirements of today’s electrical distribution systemsin terms of ratings and installation efficiency.High electrical ratingsUtility use of energy-efficient,low-impedance transformershas created ever-increasing faultcurrents at services of nonresidentialbuildings. These higherfault currents create issues whenproperly applying panelboardsand breakers within these facilities.High fault currents, coupledwith code mandates for selectivelycoordinated systems, havecreated challenges for electricalsystem designers, particularlywith traditional lighting panelswhere fault currents at traditionallighting can exceed 14 kAICsymmetrical.The PRL3E high fault currentratings provide expanded ratingsfor selectively coordinated systems.The Series G, EG-B branchbreaker used in the PRL3E panelhas the same short circuit currentrating as the physicallylarger F-Frame breaker.In the past, designing distributionequipment with fully ratedovercurrent devices to fault currentsof these magnitudes hasrequired large frame mouldedcasecircuit breakers, even for the20A, single-pole lighting circuit.The larger panelboards and theassociated enclosures have beenmore difficult to install, andconsume more wall space thantraditional lighting panels.The Pow-R-Line 3E panelboardwith Eaton Type EG-B branchbreakers solves that problem.The EG-B breaker family offersfully rated short-circuit ratingsof up to 100 kAIC at 240Vac and25 kAIC at 347/600Vac. For DCapplications up to 42 kAIC at250Vdc. All within a compact,1.00-inch-per-pole space design.Along with these high ratings andthe 1.00-inch- per-pole design, thePow-R-Line 3E panelboard provideshigh fault current protectionin the space of a traditionallighting panel, saving spaceand installation time over largerpanels.The EG-B breaker offeringprovides overcurrent rangesfrom 15 to 125A in 1-, 2- and3-pole designs. Additionally, theadvanced bolt-on EG-B breakerdesign allows for easy-to-installfield accessories, such as auxiliarycontacts and shunt trips.Neutral featuresThe Pow-R-Line 3E panelboardincorporates a new neutraldesign. Inspired by professionalelectrical system designengineers and electricians, theneutral is located at the sameplane as the incoming mainsfor the most common 100A and250A four-wire applications. Thisallows for a neat grouping ofneutral conductors. The customdesignedneutral terminal offersup to a 3/0 conductor as standard,allowing oversized neutralconductors from branch circuits.

Uniquely protectedchassis busBusbars in the Pow-R-Line 3E areisolated with high-strength insulatingmaterial. By sandwiching thebus, the potential for arc flash isreduced. At the direction of theelectricians in Eaton’s focus group,the material is white so that it canreflectmore light during the installationprocess, making the Pow-R-Line 3E easier and safer to wire.Only the breaker connectionpoint is exposed in the chassis.The Pow-R-Line 3E chassisdesign allows for straight-inwiring to the main device andthe neutral. Incoming conductorscan be of the same length.The EG-B breaker incorporates a“fingerproof”design to preventaccidental contact with the breakerterminations on boththe linesideand load-side branch breakerterminals.All metal parts on the Pow-R-Line3E panelboard have either beentempered or painted to virtuallyeliminate sharp edges, thus reducingthe potential for injury duringhandling and installation.EZ Box and EZ TrimThe Pow-R-Line 3E utilizes thepatented, award-winning EZ Boxand EZ Trim as a standard for allCSA Type 1 enclosures. Availablein 20.00-inch wide versions, the EZBox provides painted flanges tovirtually eliminate sharp edges andthe associated cuts and injuries.The EZ Trim is the first standarddoor-in-door trim in the industry.It installs in seconds, rather thanminutes, as compared with competitiveofferings, saving time andmoney on every installation.The Pow-R-Line 3E Interior, EZ Boxand the EZ Trim are sold separately.EZ Box and EZ TrimInsulatorDescriptionRatingsMaximum panelboard voltage 600Vac maximum 3ph 3 & 4 wire,ratings1ph 2 & 3 wire250Vdc maximumMaximum panelboard current ratings 250 & 400A main lugMaximum short-circuit current ratings(fully rated)StandardsRefer to EGE and EGH breaker tablebelow or Tech Data TD-PRL3KCSA 29 certifiedCSA 94 listed enclosuresCanadian Electrical CodeUnassembled Panelboards - PRL3E Interior / Box / Trim ordered separatelyEaton CorporationElectrical Sector1000 Eaton Blvd.Cleveland, OH 44122United StatesEaton.comCanadian Operations5050 MainwayBurlington ON L7L 5Z11-800-268-3578EatonCanada.ca© 2013 Eaton CorporationAll Rights ReservedPrinted in CanadaPublication No. PA01417001KOctober 2013
