Edison Finger Safe Power Distribution Blocks

Use Finger-safe Power Distribution Blocks to manage your power distribution needs, from splitting primary power circuits into a variety of branch circuits to providing a fixed junction tap-off point.

• The modular design allows the end user to select and configure the number of poles required by each application.
  
  
• These power distribution blocks are engineered to allow copper conductors and maintain an SCCR rating of 200kA.
  
  
• These features make these power distribution blocks the perfect solution to today’s power circuit wiring requirements.

Features

• Fully enclosed distribution block for touch-safe isolation of live parts
• IP20 rating under specific conditions
• Integrated DIN-rail or direct panel mounting. (Panel mount only for EPDB306 and EPDB702)
• Captive termination screws cannot be lost
• Used in UL508A panels for both feeder and branch circuit applications
• Suitable for both factory and field wiring
• Tin-plated aluminum connectors suitable for copper conductors

Ratings

• Ampere ratings up to 760 Amps
• 600 VAC or VDC
• Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) 200kA with proper fusing
• Flammability: UL 94V0

Agency Approvals

• UL 1953 Listed - File E256146, Guide QPQS
• CSA Certified - Class 6228-01, File 47235
• CE component IEC 60947-7-1
• IEC-60529, IP20 (Finger-Safe) See table for specific conditions.

Why is this important?

• Assembly short-circuit current ratings (SCCRs) are now required in the 2005 NEC® and UL508A Listed Industrial Control Panels.
• Marking the SCCR on Industrial Control Panels (NEC® 409.110), Industrial Machinery Electrical Panels (NEC® 670.3(A)), and HVAC equipment (NEC® 440.4(B)) is now required by the National Electrical Code.
• Power distribution blocks or terminal blocks not marked with an SCCR are typically one of the weakest links and may limit an assembly to no more than 10 kA SCCR.
• The EPDB series and HPB series power distribution blocks have increased spacing required where used in feeder circuits in equipment listed to UL508A. The PB series UL1059 terminal blocks must be evaluated for proper spacing.
• Also, for building wiring systems, the EPDB series and HPB series power distribution blocks can be used to meet the 2005 NEC® requirements in section 376.56(B) for power distribution blocks in wireways.
