Mersen MPDB Series Open-Style Power Distribution Block, Tin-Plated Aluminum
The Mersen MPDB Series is a Next Generation Open-Style Power Distribution Block (PDB) engineered to safely splice cables, split primary power into secondary circuits, and provide fixed junction tap-off points for commercial and industrial power distribution. This block is rated 1000V AC UL and 1000V DC UL, features Box-to-Box connectors on both the primary and secondary sides, and uses Tin-Plated Aluminum conductors housed in a Glass Filled Polycarbonate body for durable, code-compliant performance. The MPDB Series is available in 1-Pole, 2-Pole, and 3-Pole configurations, allowing installers to select the pole count that matches the primary-to-secondary circuit splitting requirements of a given panelboard or enclosure while retaining the same construction, voltage rating, and short circuit performance across every option.
Key Features
- Pole Configuration: Available in 1, 2, or 3-pole versions to match primary-to-secondary circuit splitting needs.
- Durable Construction: Tin-Plated Aluminum connectors resist corrosion while maintaining reliable conductivity.
- Box-to-Box Connections: Box connector type on both the primary and secondary sides for secure cable splicing.
- Insulating Body: Glass Filled Polycarbonate housing provides electrical insulation and mechanical strength.
- Voltage Rating: 1000V AC UL and 1000V DC UL for demanding power distribution applications.
- Short Circuit Protection: Rated 100 kA with a 60A fuse (Class G), 100 kA with a 30A fuse (Class CC), and 10 kA standalone.
- AC/DC Versatility: Suitable for AC or DC circuits at 50/60 Hz.
- Direct Screw Mount: Simplifies installation into panelboards and enclosures.
