Overview

The Mersen MPDB68320 is an open-style Power Distribution Block (PDB) designed for robust power management in industrial applications. This unit features tin-plated copper construction for reliable conductivity and is rated for 1000V. With a substantial 620A adder capacity, it efficiently handles high current loads. The MPDB68320 offers four secondary openings, accommodating wire sizes from #350 kcmil down to #6 AWG for primary connections, and #4/0 AWG down to #10 AWG for secondary connections. This configuration allows for flexible cable splicing, splitting primary power into multiple secondary circuits, and fulfilling requirements for fixed junction tap-off points. All Mersen PDBs, including the MPDB68320, are UL and CSA approved and meet spacing requirements for feeder and branch circuits in conjunction with UL508A and the National Electrical Code®. The MPDB series is available in miniature, intermediate, and large size categories, with options for aluminum and copper conductors, providing a comprehensive solution for diverse power distribution needs. The MPDB68320 belongs to the large size category.

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.
