Overview

The Mersen MPDB62203 is an open-style Power Distribution Block (PDB) designed for robust electrical power management. This unit is UL 1953 listed and rated for 1000V, with a substantial 240A current carrying capacity. Constructed with tin-plated copper for optimal conductivity and durability, it features a 3-pole configuration. The PDB facilitates safe and efficient cable splicing, splitting primary power into secondary circuits, and serves as a reliable junction tap-off point. It meets stringent UL and CSA approval standards and adheres to spacing requirements for feeder and branch circuits as defined by UL508A and the National Electrical Code®. The MPDB62203 offers one primary input and one opening for secondary connections, with stud-to-stud connections measuring 1/4-20 x 5/8. This model belongs to Mersen's miniature MPDB62 series, part of the broader Next Generation PDB line which includes intermediate and large size categories in both aluminum and copper options.

Special Features
Adder Poles: All sizes have optional adder poles for increased flexibility and ease-of-use. Adder poles can be stacked to form multi-pole units in the field without the use of tools. Adder poles allow for customization of primary and secondary wire combinations. End barriers are also available for sale, catalog numbers can be found in the catalog number selection tables for each size block. Wire Connectors: Standard aluminum and copper wire connectors are available. Aluminum connectors accept both AL or CU wire while copper connectors accept CU wire only. Connectors are all 1-piece tin-plated. Many part numbers are rated to accept DLO-type fine-strand wire, allowing users to connect flexible conductors. Insulators: Insulators are virtually unbreakable, made of glass-filled polycarbonate. “See-through,” hinged safety covers are optional and provide a greater degree of safety and shock resistance where required. Hinged covers can be installed without tools. Spacings: 1 inch through air and 2 inches over surface between uninsulated live parts of opposite polarity meets requirements for feeder and branch circuit applications of UL508A. Safety Covers: Polycarbonate safety covers provide dead-front protection. One cover is needed for each pole. Each cover has a test probe hole in the center for circuit checking. Covers are optional accessories and catalog numbers can be found in the catalog selection tables for each size block.
