Power Distribution Blocks One powerful way to manage your power distribution problems. Your problem: You re facing the enormously complex wiring requirements of an automated manufacturing facility.

1 Power Distribution Blocks One powerful way to manage your power distribution problems. Your problem: You re facing the enormously complex wiring requirements of an automated manufacturing facility. Or the compatibility problems of a commercial complex retrofit. Or the need for seamless electrical service in a hospital annex that s anything but seamless. Where can you turn to solve your power distribution problems? Finger-Safe Power Distribution Blocks / FSPDB Series Our solution: Well beyond circuit protection solutions. Ferraz Shawmut offers you an arsenal of circuit management products. One of which is our line of polycarbonate 600V / 90 to 1520A Power Distribution Blocks. Safe and convenient, durable and easy to install, they re the simple way to split primary power circuits into secondary circuits or provide fixed-junction tap-off points. Either way, our full range of sizes accommodates any gauge aluminum or copper conductor. Exclusive adder poles snap onto the 1-, 2-, or 3-pole blocks for maximum pole flexibility... and safety covers are available.

FSPDB finger-safe/power DSTRBUTON BLOCKS SAFETY EVOLVNG FNGER-SAFE POWER DSTRBUTON BLOCKS Ferraz Shawmut FSPDBs introduce a new level of safety and ease for installing power distribution blocks.

2 FSPDB finger-safe/power DSTRBUTON BLOCKS SAFETY EVOLVNG FNGER-SAFE POWER DSTRBUTON BLOCKS Ferraz Shawmut FSPDBs introduce a new level of safety and ease for installing power distribution blocks. An P20 level of finger safe protection is achieved using FSPDBs, eliminating the need for special covers or custom plexiglass sheets to protect your panels. FSPDBs (sizes 1 to 4) simply snap onto 35mm DN rail to provide the quickest installation. Modular design also allows for multi pole applications by use of assembly pins. FSPDBs provide a safe, convenient way of splicing cables, splitting primary power into a variety of secondary circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point. Features/Benefits Finger-Safe Fully insulated block ensures touch safe isolation of live parts. Recessed termination screws and wire openings provide P20 grade protection and qualify as finger-safe per EC 529. Compact Modularity Single or multiple pole configurations in the most compact footprint. Allows users to build smaller or higher density panels. Snap on DN Rail Mounting Sizes 1 to 4 feature integral DN rail adaptors allowing for quick and easy installations on 35mm DN rail yielding lower installed costs. Captive Termination Screws Unique channel design ensures captive metric wire termination screws. Screws can never be lost. Available Accessories For multi-pole panel mounting, simply snap in pins for rigid fit. Cap plugs provide the ability to maintain touch safety on unused openings. Circuit identification markers simply snap into blocks to D circuits. End anchors provide rigid end stops. Ratings Ampere ratings from 175 to 840A 600V rated Short Circuit Current Rating 100kA with proper fuse. Contact Technical Services for instruction sheet. Approvals UL Recognized Component - Guide XCFR2, File E73571 CSA Certified: Class 6228, File Multiple Wire Ratings Provide users more versatility by offering capability of using multiple conductors in #2 and 2/0 openings.
