Overview

This 3-pole device features tin-plated copper construction for superior corrosion resistance and reliable electrical conductivity. Designed for box-to-box connections, it supports wire sizes from 2/0 AWG down to #14 AWG on both line and load sides, with 2 primary input openings and 2 secondary output openings per pole. The MPDB66023 specifically offers 2 openings on the line side and 2 openings on the load side, accommodating wire ranges from 2/0 AWG to #14 AWG for both. The MPDB series spans miniature, intermediate, and large configurations with aluminum and copper options, ensuring compatibility with diverse power distribution needs. The intermediate-sized MPDB66/67 series, to which the MPDB66023 belongs, offers up to 30 secondary outputs in standard configurations or 7 primary inputs in specialty designs, delivering flexibility for complex electrical installations requiring high-current distribution. The tin-plated copper construction of the MPDB66023 ensures excellent conductivity and durability in demanding environments. This open-style design facilitates easy access for wiring and inspection. The 1000V rating makes it suitable for a wide range of high-voltage applications. The 350A continuous current rating ensures it can handle substantial power loads. The 3-pole configuration allows for the distribution of three-phase power. The box-to-box connection capability simplifies installation in control panels and enclosures.

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.
