1. Power Distribution Blocks

2. 2 Typically, PDBs 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. The Secondary is the output side and can usually accommodate a lot of smaller wires that continue on to the loads. PDB - Introduction Main Power Loads 3-pole PDBs

3. 3 There are Two types of PDBs: PDB - Introduction Finger-SafeOpen-style

4. 4 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

5. 5 Our FSPDB is our Newest style FSPDB - Introduction

6. 6 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
