Power Distribution Blocks PDB - Introduction Main Power 3-pole PDB’s Typically, PDB’s facilitate getting power from the Main (high ampacity) to the Load (low ampacity), while conforming to Codes and specs. The “Primary” is the input side of the PDB and accepts large wires from the main switch. Loads 2 The “Secondary” is the output side and can usually accommodate a lot of smaller wires that continue on to the loads. PDB - Introduction There are Two types of PDB’s: Finger-Safe 3 Open-style PDB - Introduction We have many different open-style configurations in both Aluminum and Copper Section I of our catalog shows Mini, Intermediate and Large Configs 4 FSPDB - Introduction Our FSPDB is our Newest style 5 What is it? Copper or aluminum block designed to provide a convenient method of splicing cable or splitting primary power into multiple secondary circuits. Approved for use in UL 508A industrial control panels Finger-safe providing protection against electrical shock 6 It replaces existing open style PDB’s Finger-Safe PDBs FS Open-Styles to be replaced FSPDB1A 6310x, 6315x, 6705x FSPDB1C 6210x, 6215x, 6605x FSPDB2A 6313x, 6316x, 6319x, 6757x FSPDB2C 6213x, 6216x, 6219x, 6657x FSPDB3A 6703x, 6706x, 6708x, 6709x, 6751x, 6756x, 6758x, 6761x, 6763x, 6766x, 6767x FSPDB3C 6603x, 6606x, 6608x, 6609x, 6651x, 6656x, 6658x, 6661x, 6663x, 6666x, 6667x FSPDB4A 6700x FSPDB4C 6600x FSPDB5A 6740x, 6742x, 6752x, 6905x, 6906x, 6909x, 6912x, 6965x FSPDB5C 6640x, 6642x, 6652x, 6805x, 6806x, 6809x, 6812x, 6865x 7 Wire sizes and ampacity for 75 C wire (Cu) UL 508A Size Diameter Amps 14 12 10 8 6 4 3 2 1 1/0 .070 .091 .112 .156 .193 .242 .270 .301 .343 .383 15 20 30 50 65 85 100 115 130 150 Size 2/0 3/0 4/0 250 MCM 300 MCM 350 MCM 400 MCM 500 MCM Diameter .428 .479 .536 .584 .638 .688 .735 .818 175 200 230 255 285 310 335 380 Amps 8 FSPDB Block configuration Secondary/load side Primary/line side FSPDB1A, C (1) 2/0 - #14 X (1) 2/0 - #14 FSPDB3A, C (1) 350 - #6 & (1) 2/0 - #14 9 X (8) #2 - #14 Where is it sold? 508 PANEL SHOPS SYSTEMS INTEGRATORS OEM’s ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTORS 10 Why is it Sold? Easy way to splice or split cable in electrical panels and wiring circuits. Sell as a replacement against open style blocks because it has added safety feature Smaller than open style blocks - Din rail mountable - Captive termination screws SCCR requirement for UL 508 panels 11 How Do You Sell It?
