Overview

The Mersen MPDB63154 is an open-style Power Distribution Block (PDB) designed for efficient and safe power management in industrial applications. This PDB from Mersen provides a reliable method for splicing cables, splitting primary power into secondary circuits, and establishing fixed junction tap-off points. The MPDB63154 features a tin-plated aluminum construction, rated for 1000V and 135A on the primary side, with a 175A rating for the 4-pole configuration. It accommodates primary conductor sizes from 2/0 to #14 AWG, with box-to-box connections also within this range. This model offers one primary input and one secondary output, making it suitable for various power distribution needs. As part of Mersen's MPDB series, it falls into the miniature size category, ensuring a compact footprint without compromising performance. The MPDB63154 is built with tin-plated aluminum for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is designed for applications requiring robust power distribution and reliable connections. The block's open-style configuration allows for direct wiring and easy access. Mersen offers a range of PDB options, including single or dual conductor primary inputs and up to 30 secondary outputs, with specialty blocks available for up to 7 primary inputs, in both aluminum and copper materials. This specific model, MPDB63154, is ideal for applications where a 4-pole configuration is required with a 175A rating and a 1000V operational voltage. The line side wire range is 2/0 AWG to #14 AWG, and the load side wire range is also 2/0 AWG to #14 AWG, facilitating flexible wiring configurations. The unit provides one line side opening per pole and one load side opening per pole.

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.
