Overview

The Mersen MPDB69331 is a large-format, open-style Power Distribution Block (PDB) designed for robust power management. This unit is UL 1953 approved and rated for 1000V, handling a primary current of 1020A and a secondary current of 1260A. Constructed from tin-plated aluminum, it ensures reliable conductivity and durability in industrial applications. The MPDB69331 features a 1-pole configuration with three secondary openings, each capable of accommodating wire sizes from 600 AWG to #2 AWG for both box-to-box connections. As part of Mersen's next-generation PDB line, it offers a safe and efficient method for splicing cables, splitting primary power into multiple secondary circuits, and establishing fixed junction tap-off points. All Mersen PDBs, including this model, are UL and CSA approved and meet stringent spacing requirements for feeder and branch circuits in conjunction with UL508A and the National Electrical Code®. This specific model is part of the MPDB69 series, representing Mersen's large size category for power distribution blocks. The tin-plated aluminum construction is ideal for applications requiring high current capacity and excellent conductivity. The MPDB69331 is manufactured in Germany (DE).

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.
