Mersen MPDB66653 Open-Style PDB UL 1953 1000V Tin-plated Copper - 310A 3-Pole 1 - 10 openings; 350-#6…

These blocks are rated for 1000VAC/DC. Ampere ratings range from 65 to 2260A based on NEC table 310.15(B)(16) 75ºC ampacities.

Unless noted otherwise, all blocks are UL and CSA approved, meeting specific UL and CSA certifications.

The insulators are made of virtually unbreakable, glass-filled polycarbonate with a dielectric strength exceeding 2500V and a flammability rating of UL94-V0.

Double-wide blocks are generally not UL or CSA certified unless otherwise noted. They are Mersen self-certified and approved.

Aluminum connectors accept both AL or CU wire, while copper connectors accept CU wire only. Many part numbers accept DLO-type fine-strand wire.

Yes, optional adder poles can be field-installed without tools to form multi-pole units and customize wire combinations.

Optional, snap-on, hinged safety covers provide dead-front protection and shock resistance. Each cover has a test probe hole.

The blocks meet spacing requirements for feeder and branch circuits with 1 inch through air and 2 inches over surface between uninsulated live parts of opposite polarity.

The Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) is 100kA when used with a properly sized fuse. Refer to Mersen's PDB SCCR guide for details.

MPDB series blocks are offered in single, dual, and three-pole configurations. Specialty blocks allow for up to 7 primary inputs.
