ITE/Siemens BP3257 - 100A, 240V, Fusible Bus Plug

Power reliability and swift fault isolation meet in the ITE/Siemens BP3257 fusible bus plug. Engineered for heavy-duty industrial and commercial power distribution, this 100A, 240V plug slides into compatible busway and panelboard assemblies to supply fuse-protected current where you need it most. When space is tight and downtime hurts, the BP3257 delivers a field-proven solution that keeps critical equipment online.

Key specifications

• Model: BP3257
• Brand: ITE/Siemens
• Type: Fusible Bus Plug
• Amperage: 100A
• Voltage: 240V
• Applications: Busway and panelboard power distribution systems
• Typical uses: Industrial plants, commercial facilities, process equipment, retrofit projects

What makes BP3257 stand out

• Integrated fusible protection: The plug houses a fuse element to interrupt overcurrent directly at the source, helping to limit fault propagation and protect downstream equipment.
• Fast isolation for reduced downtime: In a fault, the fuse clears quickly, allowing maintenance crews to identify and isolate the affected feeder without swapping large components.
• Industrial-grade durability: Built to withstand the temperature, vibration, and dust typical of plants and facilities that rely on constant power.
• Field-ready retrofit compatibility: Designed for use in existing busway and panelboard systems, making it ideal for upgrades where compatible, hard-to-find busplugs are essential.

Practical use cases

- Retrofit projects in older facilities where original BP or compatible bus plugs are no longer available. The BP3257 provides a like-for-like replacement that preserves system geometry and electrical coordination.

- Maintenance windows for process equipment that require reliable fuse protection at the distribution point, helping minimize risk during routine servicing.

- New installs in mixed-use facilities where a 100A, 240V fuse-protected feed is needed to serve motors, feeders, or control panels without reworking the entire distribution scheme.

Who benefits most

Maintenance teams, electrical distributors, and system integrators working with ITE/Siemens busway ecosystems will find the BP3257 to be a dependable, compatible option whenever a hard-to-find fusible bus plug is required.
