Overview

The Mersen CEP-FSPDB160 is a single-pole, compact Power Distribution Block (PDB) from the Compact EP® line, engineered for efficient and safe power distribution in space-constrained electrical panels. This PDB is rated for 600V with an ampere range of 135A to 160A, supporting copper wire applications up to 160A and aluminum wire up to 135A. The CEP-FSPDB160 features tin-plated aluminum construction for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Key specifications include a line side wire range of 2/0 AWG to #10 AWG (70-2.5 mm²) with a strip back length of 0.775" and torque of 50 in-lbs. The load side offers multiple configurations: (2) #6 AWG to #14 AWG and (2) #4 AWG to #14 AWG, with a strip back length of 0.500" and torque of 35 in-lbs. The PDB accepts DLO wire and includes translucent covers for visual verification of wire terminations. Designed for DIN rail mounting, the CEP-FSPDB160 has an IP20 rating for finger-safe operation and a Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of 100kA when used with a properly sized fuse. The hex driver size is 7/32" for the line side and 1/8" for the load side. The minimum enclosure size recommended is 12" x 20" x 8". This PDB is ideal for industrial applications requiring compact, high-current power distribution in constrained spaces, such as control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards.
