FINGER-SAFE/POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS
SAFETY EVOLVING FINGER-SAFE POWER
DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS
Ferraz Shawmut FSPDBs introduce a new level
of safety and ease for installing power distribution blocks. An IP20 level of finger safe protection
is achieved using FSPDBs, eliminating the need
for special covers or custom plexiglass sheets to
protect your panels. FSPDBs (sizes 1 to 4) simply
snap onto 35mm DIN rail to provide the quickest
installation. Modular design also allows for multi
pole applications by use of assembly pins. FSPDBs
provide a safe, convenient way of splicing cables,
splitting primary power into a variety of secondary
circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point.
Features/Benefits
Ratings
³ Ampere ratings
from 175 to 840A
³ Finger-Safe
Fully insulated block ensures touch safe isolation of live parts.
Recessed termination screws and wire openings provide IP20
grade protection and qualify as “finger-safe” per IEC 529.
³ 600V rated
³ Compact Modularity
Single or multiple pole configurations in the most compact footprint. Allows users to build smaller or higher density panels.
³ Snap on DIN Rail Mounting
Sizes 1 to 4 feature integral DIN rail adaptors allowing for quick
and easy installations on 35mm DIN rail yielding lower installed
costs.
³ Captive Termination Screws
Unique channel design ensures captive metric wire termination
screws. Screws can never be lost.
³ Short Circuit Current Rating
100kA with proper fuse.
Contact Technical Services for
instruction sheet.
Approvals
³ UL Recognized Component Guide XCFR2, File E73571
³ CSA Certified:
Class 6228, File 69363
³ Available Accessories
For multi-pole panel mounting, simply snap in pins for rigid fit.
Cap plugs provide the ability to maintain touch safety on unused
openings. Circuit identification markers simply snap into blocks
to ID circuits. End anchors provide rigid end stops.
³ Multiple Wire Ratings
Provide users more versatility by offering capability of using
multiple conductors in #2 and 2/0 openings.

SAFETY COVER - Catalog number 08530
Polycarbonate safety cover provides dead-front protection to 62000
and 63000 series power distribution blocks. One cover is needed
or each pole (1-pole block requires 1 cover, 3-pole requires 3 covers, etc.) Each cover has a test prod hole in the center for circuit
checking and each is marked with the reminder “REPLACE AFTER
SERVICING EQUIPMENT”.
To order, simply determine the total number of poles to be protected
and specify the same number of 08530 safety covers. Mounting
screws are supplied with cover.
Recommended mounting screws for all 62000-63000 series: #10
(.190” diameter).
END BARRIER - Catalog number U09311
Polycarbonate end barriers snap on to PDB Adder blocks to form
1-pole blocks. Use one barrier per block.

VERSATILE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS
FOR CABLE TERMINATIONS
Ferraz Shawmut Power Distribution Blocks afford a safe, convenient
way of splicing cables, splitting primary power into a variety of secondary circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point. Power
block options include single or dual primary connections with up to
30 secondary connections.
Features/Benefits
➤ Adder Poles
All series have optional adder poles which snap onto the 1, 2 or 3- pole blocks and
lock together to form as many poles as required. Adder poles with a variety of terminations can be combined to match special wire size combinations.
➤ Wire Connectors
Standard aluminum box connectors accommodate aluminum or copper wire, 1
conductor per opening. Standard copper box connections are for copper wire
only, 1 conductor per opening. Connectors are all 1 piece and tin plated.
➤ Insulators
Insulators are virtually unbreakable, glass-filled polycarbonate on all series. “SeeThrough” Safety Covers are available which give greater safety and provide Service
Entrance ratings for large and intermediate series blocks.

SAFETY COVER - Catalog number 08590
Polycarbonate safety cover provides dead-front protection to 68000 and
69000 series power distribution blocks. One cover is needed for each pole
(1-pole block requires 1 cover, 3-pole requires 3 covers, etc.) Each cover
has a test prod hole in the center for circuit checking and each is marked
with the reminder “REPLACE AFTER SERVICING EQUIPMENT”. Mounting
screws are supplied with cover.
To order, simply determine the total number of poles to be protected and
specify the same number of 08590 safety covers.
Recommended mounting screws for all 68000-69000 series: 1/4" (.250 dia.).
For double wide blocks use 08592W safety cover.
08590 cover and 69092 PDB with 2-08590 covers installed
